“Can the WMS for third-party logistics warehouses become the operating system connecting brands, 3PLs, and every fulfillment channel?”
Founded 2006 as 3PL Central, a cloud WMS purpose-built for third-party logistics warehouses. Rebranded to Extensiv in 2022 after consolidating a family of adjacent acquisitions (CartRover for integrations, Skubana for brand-side order/inventory) into one omnichannel fulfillment platform. Current thesis is being the operating system for the 3PL warehouse and its brand customers — not a fintech, though the WMS's billing module and QuickBooks export sits adjacent to embedded-finance opportunities that third parties (e.g. DiversiFi's embedded lending for 3PLs) are now building around it.
3PL Central integrates with QuickBooks.
3PL Central is founded in 2006 and headquartered in El Segundo, CA, USA.
3PL Central has raised $62.5M in total (latest round: PE-backed (rebranded to Extensiv)).
3PL Central's acquisitions include CartRover (2021) and Skubana (2021).
