Warehouse authorisations, fulfillment confirmations, and shipment updates all need to move between your ERP, your 3PL, and your retailers without manual touchpoints. Most of the time that means EDI. Sometimes it means a direct API connection to a specific 3PL platform. Either way, the requirement is the same: data needs to move fast, accurately, and with a full audit trail. Entech builds Celigo integrations for logistics and warehousing workflows — from full EDI transaction cycles to direct 3PL platform connections.
Direct Celigo integration with ShipBob — orders route from your ERP or ecommerce platform to ShipBob the moment they're created. Fulfillment confirmations, tracking numbers, and inventory levels sync back automatically. Works with NetSuite, Shopify, and Salesforce as the source system.
View ShipBob integration →A significant portion of 3PL and logistics integration runs over EDI rather than direct API. If your warehouse partners, retailers, or carriers communicate via EDI 850, 940, 945, or 997 transaction sets, that falls under our EDI/B2B capability rather than a direct platform integration.
Connects NetSuite to retail trading partners and 3PLs via EDI — covering the full purchase order cycle from 850 inbound through to 940 warehouse ship notice and 997 acknowledgements. No manual touchpoints.
Connects NetSuite to third-party logistics providers — warehouse orders, shipment confirmations, inventory reconciliation, and return receipts, via EDI 940/945 or direct API depending on the 3PL.
A branded consumer goods client needed their 3PL to receive warehouse authorisations as soon as a retailer PO came in. Before the integration, that handoff took several hours, done manually.
Celigo connects your ERP, ecommerce platform, and 3PL so orders and fulfillment data move in both directions without manual steps. Whether your 3PL uses EDI or a direct API, the outcome is the same: warehouse authorizations go out automatically when orders are created, and tracking numbers come back without anyone copying data between systems.
EDI-based 3PL integrations use standardized transaction sets: the 940 (Warehouse Shipping Order) travels from your ERP to the 3PL to authorize a shipment, the 945 (Warehouse Shipping Advice) returns tracking and fulfillment confirmation, and the 997 closes the acknowledgement loop. This pattern covers most established 3PLs and all retailer-connected logistics networks.
Direct API 3PL integrations connect your ERP or ecommerce platform to the 3PL's REST API. Orders route to the warehouse immediately on creation; confirmations and tracking numbers flow back automatically. Celigo handles authentication, retry logic, and error alerting so your team sees failures before customers do.
Most Celigo 3PL implementations go live in 3 to 6 weeks. EDI projects depend on the trading partner setup process; direct API projects are typically faster. Entech Solutions has delivered 3PL integrations for consumer goods brands, ecommerce retailers, and wholesale distributors — all certified Celigo developers.
