Zenventory: Multi-Channel Inventory Management for 3PLs

Most inventory management software is designed for single businesses with simple workflows. Zenventory was built specifically for multi-client, multi-warehouse 3PL environments.

This means that Zenventory supports:

• Client-segmented inventory records

• Warehouse-specific location trees

• Advanced item tracking (lots, serials, expiration dates, kits)

• Role-based permissions for warehouse teams

• Inventory logic that integrates directly with fulfillment and shipping

Instead of stitching together multiple tools, Zenventory manages inventory, fulfillment, and shipping within a single system.

Zenventory makes sure everything's correct by using system-driven processes instead of manual checks.

Here's how it works:

• Step-by-step receiving and controlled storage

• Tracking inventory at each location

• Picking and counting stock with barcode help

• Automation rules that stop overselling

• Controls that limit who can change inventory numbers

• Stock becomes available after it's been received, stored, and checked — cutting down on mistakes before they happen.

Yes. Zenventory supports lot tracking and expiration date tracking as native item attributes.

This allows 3PLs to:

• Allocate inventory using FIFO or FEFO logic

• Prevent expired inventory from being shipped

• Maintain full traceability for recalls or audits

• Report on inventory by lot or expiration date

These controls are enforced during allocation and fulfillment, not handled manually.

Zenventory applies warehouse-specific location trees to handle inventory at a detailed level.

This means each warehouse can have:

• Its own physical layout (aisles, racks, bins)
• Set spots for receiving and storing items
• Separate inventory counts and reports

The system can also assign orders from one warehouse or across several, based on rules.

This gives you flexibility without losing track of your stock.

Yes. Zenventory includes built-in cycle counting tools that allow teams to audit inventory without pausing fulfillment.

Cycle counts support:

• Barcode scanning
  

• Separate tracking for found and damaged inventory
  

• Automated reconciliation against system quantities
  

This enables ongoing accuracy checks instead of relying on infrequent physical counts.

Because Zenventory includes fulfillment and shipping within the same platform, inventory updates occur automatically as orders move through the workflow.

For example, when an order is:

Allocated → inventory is reserved

Picked → inventory is confirmed

Shipped → inventory is deducted

There’s no syncing between systems, no delays, and no mismatched data.

ZenShip, Zenventory’s built-in shipping engine, is included free with every plan.

Yes. Zenventory uses role-based permissions to control inventory actions.

Permissions determine who can:

• Receive inventory

• Put items away

• Allocate or deallocate stock

• Adjust quantities

• Perform cycle counts

This protects inventory integrity and creates accountability across warehouse teams.

100%. Zenventory was designed to scale alongside growing 3PL operations.

The platform includes:

• Unlimited users

• Unlimited SKUs

• Unlimited support from real humans

• No contracts or per-seat fees

This allows 3PLs to grow without re-platforming or paying penalties for success.

Most teams can begin using Zenventory quickly thanks to:

• Guided configuration for warehouses and locations

• Structured inventory workflows

• Support from a real implementation team

Zenventory is designed to be powerful without being overwhelming so teams can go live without months of onboarding.
