About
Extensiv is a comprehensive omnichannel fulfillment software platform purpose-built for third-party logistics (3PL) warehouses and the brands they serve. It brings together critical operational modules — including Inventory Management, Order Management, Shipping, Billing, and Receiving — under one roof to help logistics providers operate more efficiently and profitably. At its core, Extensiv offers a 3PL Warehouse Management System (WMS) that provides real-time inventory visibility, streamlines inbound receiving, and orchestrates outbound fulfillment workflows. The Network Management module connects 3PLs with brands actively seeking fulfillment partners, enabling business development directly within the platform. The Billing Manager automates invoicing to help 3PLs get paid faster, while the Smartscan and Small Parcel Suite tools accelerate physical warehouse operations. Extensiv also features robust Reporting & Analytics capabilities, giving operations managers actionable insights into order volumes and fulfillment performance. Through the Extensiv Integration Manager (formerly CartRover), users can connect to hundreds of ecommerce platforms, marketplaces, and technology partners — including Shopify and other leading solutions. The platform is backed by dedicated Customer Success, Implementation, and Consulting services to ensure rapid time-to-value. Extensiv is ideal for growing 3PL operators, omnichannel brands, and enterprise logistics networks looking to unify and scale their fulfillment infrastructure.
