About
Extensiv is a supply chain software company that provides warehouse management, order management, and network orchestration platforms specifically designed for third-party logistics providers and the brands they serve. Formerly known as 3PL Central, the company rebranded as Extensiv after a series of strategic acquisitions including Skubana (multi-channel order management), Infoplus Commerce, and Cart Rover (integration platform), assembling a comprehensive technology suite for the 3PL fulfillment ecosystem. Headquartered in Los Angeles, California, Extensiv has raised more than $80 million from investors including Trinity Ventures and Warburg Pincus.\n\nExtensiv's 3PL Warehouse Manager is one of the most widely deployed cloud-based WMS platforms in the 3PL industry, used by hundreds of fulfillment centers to manage inventory, receive and ship orders, process returns, and bill clients. The platform's multi-client architecture is built for the complexity of 3PL operations where a single warehouse serves multiple brand customers with different SKU catalogs, order profiles, and billing structures. Extensiv Order Manager provides brands with a multi-channel order management system that connects to e-commerce platforms and routes orders to the optimal fulfillment location.\n\nExtensiv's network model connects 3PL warehouses and the brands they serve in a shared platform, enabling more seamless data exchange and collaboration than traditional EDI-based integrations. The company serves the rapidly growing e-commerce fulfillment market where brands are increasingly outsourcing warehousing and fulfillment to 3PL networks rather than operating their own distribution infrastructure. Extensiv competes with Deposco, Manhattan Associates, and newer entrants in the 3PL WMS space.
