What Clients Need from 3PL Reporting Functions
At Disk.com, we understand that the success of our business relies on providing our clients with a comprehensive and effective 3PL reporting solution. To ensure our clients receive the best possible service, we have identified four key features that are essential for effective 3PL reporting.
Transparency
Clients need to be able to trust their 3PL provider and understand how their data is being used and managed. This means that an effective 3PL reporting system should provide complete transparency into all aspects of the operation, including inventory tracking, order fulfillment, shipping status, and customer service. By offering this level of transparency, clients can rest assured that their data is safe and secure and that they will always have access to up-to-date information about their orders.
Flexibility
The ideal 3PL reporting system should offer clients the flexibility to customize their reports according to their specific needs. This could include customizing report formats, adding additional data fields, or setting up automated alerts for when certain criteria are met. With this level of control over their reports, clients can quickly identify any issues in their supply chain and make necessary adjustments in a timely manner.
Responsiveness
In today’s fast-paced business environment, it is essential for clients to be able to access accurate and up-to-date information about their orders as quickly as possible. An effective 3PL reporting system should be able to provide real-time updates on order status so that clients can always stay ahead of any potential issues or delays. This includes providing detailed tracking information such as estimated delivery dates and current shipment locations.
Customer Portals
Finally, an effective 3PL reporting system should also include a secure customer portal where clients can access all relevant order information in one convenient location. This could include order history, shipping status updates, invoices, payment records, and other important documents related to the client’s orders. By having all of this information available in one place, clients can easily manage their orders without having to spend time searching through multiple systems or databases.

By monitoring customer orders and inventory levels, clients can quickly determine which items need to be replenished in order to ensure a steady flow of goods. Our system also helps with forecasting future demand for certain items so that they can plan ahead and order enough stock before it runs out.
Predicting Seasonal Ramp-Ups
We provide detailed reports that allow clients to predict seasonal ramp-ups in order to better manage their inventory levels.

This allows them to avoid costly overstocks or stockouts during these periods.
Discontinuing Products
Our tracking metrics also enable clients to easily identify which products are no longer selling well or have become obsolete due to changing consumer trends. By monitoring customer orders and inventory levels, clients can quickly determine which items should be discontinued in order to reduce costs and free up warehouse space for new products.
Kitting Components
We provide comprehensive reports on kitting components so that clients can easily track the progress of each component in their kits. This allows them to monitor the number of components needed for each kit as well as any delays or issues that may arise during the production process.

Our tracking metrics enable clients to monitor late arrivals of orders so that they can take corrective action if necessary. Clients can track shipments from origin through delivery in order to determine where delays may have occurred along the way and take steps to address any issues that may have caused the delay. This helps ensure that orders arrive on time and customers remain satisfied with the service they receive from our 3PL services.
