What CartonCloud Offers That Other WMS + 3PL Software Don't
ONE PLATFORM, NOT A WORKAROUND
Faster onboarding, automated billing + warehouse-to-delivery visibility.
Warehouse + transport, actually connected
Run sheets, driver apps, and route planning live in the same platform as your picking and putaway — not bolted on through a third-party TMS integration. One login, one data source, one workflow from receiving to delivery.
Billing that runs itself
Storage, handling, and transport charges calculate automatically from real activity in the system — no CSV exports, no manual rate card lookups, no missed charges. Accounting connectors turn those charges into invoices automatically, so multi-client billing never needs a spreadsheet on the side.
Live in days, not months
CartonCloud customers average a go live in just 6–10 hours of active onboarding. No lengthy IT project, no consultant dependency, no waiting months for ROI.
11,440% growth in one year, thanks to CartonCloud
HD Warehousing runs five separate warehouse profiles across four U.S. states — including over a million square feet for a single client — all visible from one CartonCloud dashboard. Delivering on customer sucess, with operational accuracy and real-time, multi-site visibility is what's powering their growth.
If I had one word to describe it: flexibility.
"With CartonCloud, we've actually grown our business both in volumes over the last 3 years, but we haven't had to employ any extra staff... We now find ourselves dealing with some of the biggest companies in Australia in terms of what we can offer them as a service."
— Kevin Forte, General Manager Operations, AustraCold
