The Tariff Challenge:
Why 3PLs Are Feeling the Heat
In 2025, steep U.S. tariffs on Chinese goods (as high as 145%) have severely impacted cargo volumes.
- Ports in California, including Los Angeles and Long Beach, report 30–40% drops in container traffic.
- Warehouses are seeing underutilized space and unpredictable labor demand.
- 3PLs are struggling to align workforce plans with constantly shifting inbound schedules.
The result? Wasted labor hours,
lost revenue, and tighter margins.
Warehouse Labor Tracking
The warehouse labor management and tracking module tracks labor for all operations in the warehouse to include VAS, labeling, container unloading, sorting, etc. This solution provides supervisors on the warehouse floor with an easy to use and intuitive application to assign activities in the operation. The application can be used from a desktop, laptop, Tablet or handheld mobile device.
labor Planning
Our Labor planning software will help your warehouse managers create work schedules that match the expected activity. No more guessing or bringing back the same crew from the prior day. As an operations manager, you know successful operations run on an engaged and productive workforce. But it can only be done with the power of reliable data in hand. You can make a significant impact on your operation’s success when you have the ability to see what’s going on.
People Tracking Solution
Our RTLS tracking solution (Real Time Location System) provides real time employee location tracking in the warehouse, giving you immediate visibility into the whereabouts of each staff member. Beyond simple location, the system also captures detailed employee activity tracking for warehouse operations, including their walking path. This comprehensive data can be used to validate labor tracking clock in out with location data captured by our mobile application, ensuring accurate payroll and time management.
You can use this solution as a training and safety tool and long term we are linking this to our AI engine that will provide key insights into each employees productivity and warehouse employee work patterns analysis, ultimately driving operational improvements.
Quoting Tool
Our Quoting system is the final step in the 3PL process as it utilizes all the data collected for each operation and allows your sales teams to accurately quote services based on past performance.
We can generate a complete proposal to include cover page, rate sheet, and contract terms in one PDF document that can be easily signed and accepted. The quoting tool also includes an intuitive questionnaire that will ensure your sales team do not miss out on any services and leave money on the table for later disputes.
Our Labor Tracking Module tracks labor by customer, employee, and operation. This includes activities performed by workers that do not require a scanner or handheld such as VAS labeling, container unloading, sorting, repackaging, etc.
This solution provides supervisors on the warehouse floor with an easy to use and intuitive mobile application to assign activities in the operation. We give you the option to have labor assignment tasks issued by the supervisor or we allow each individual employee to use any PC, tablet, or kiosk device to log into an operation.
