3D Digital Twins: The Future of Warehouse Visibility
February 07, 2025
Running a 3PL warehouse these days? You’ve probably got your hands full.
More SKUs. More clients. More channels. Tighter deadlines. Shrinking margins.
And somehow, you’ve still got to keep track of stock, move orders fast, and give every client the service they expect. Not easy, right?
That’s why a lot of 3PL providers are now looking at Aislytics, a warehouse platform that gives you the smarts to handle all of this and more.
Here’s why it could be the smartest move you’ll make for your 3PL operation this year.
The everyday pressures of running a 3PL
If you run a 3PL warehouse, you’ll know the common headaches.
- Space always feels too tight
- Too much time spent searching for stock
- Slow pick times when things get congested
- Hard to see what’s in stock, or where
- Systems can’t keep up with fast-changing orders
- Clients are asking for more and faster
It’s a lot to juggle. And with labour costs going up, and more competition in the market, there’s not much room for error.
Why old systems can’t keep up
Many 3PL warehouses still rely on older WMS setups. The problem? They were built for simpler times. Not the multi-client, high-volume 3PLs of today.
Often, these systems rely on reports that are out of date before you’ve even had your morning coffee. They don’t show what’s really happening on the floor right now.
That’s where Aislytics comes in, giving you live visibility, AI-powered insights, and tools to help your team stay ahead, not behind.
Smarter decisions, fewer surprises
One of the big differences with Aislytics is that it helps you move from reactive to proactive.
Instead of chasing problems, you’re getting ahead of them.
For example:
- It doesn’t just tell you where stock is. It helps you figure out where it should go
- It can spot patterns in how stock moves, so you can set up the warehouse smarter
- It tells you what’s running low before it turns into an urgent problem
No more guesswork. Just better decisions, every day.
Making the most of your space
Space is expensive, and in 3PL, every metre counts.
Aislytics helps you use that space better. It constantly looks at,
- How stock is moving
- Which aisles are getting blocked
- Where space is wasted
Then it gives your team clear insights on how to fix it.
The result? Faster pick times. Less congestion. And no need to lease more space if you don’t have to.
Real-time stock visibility
Lost stock. Duplicate picks. Missed orders.
These things happen when you can’t see what’s in the warehouse.
With Aislytics, you get a live 3D view of your warehouse showing exactly where every pallet, carton, and SKU is.
No more blind spots. No more “I thought that was here!” moments. Just real-time inventory awareness that helps your team work faster and smarter.
Ready to grow with you
Many 3PL systems struggle when you add more clients. Things get messy, fast.
Aislytics is different. It’s built with multi-tenancy in mind. That means,
- Each client’s stock and data stay separate and secure
- You can handle 10 clients or 100 with full visibility across them all
- You keep control as your 3PL business grows
So you don’t outgrow your system when your business takes off.
Helping your team do more
Labour is one of the biggest costs in any warehouse. And with good staff harder to find these days, it makes sense to help your team get more done.
Aislytics does just that.
It helps your team by,
- Guiding them on where to store and pick stock
- Cutting the time wasted searching for items
- Reducing errors and rework
Less time chasing stock. More time getting orders out the door. Simple.
No need to ditch your current WMS
Worried that moving to Aislytics means throwing out your old system? Don’t be.
Aislytics is designed to work with your current WMS, not replace it.
You can plug in Aislytics through simple APIs. It adds,
- Live, real-time insights
- AI-powered intelligence
- A 3D view of your warehouse
…without forcing you to start from scratch.
Why now?
So why is now the right time to make the move?
A few reasons.
- Clients want faster, more accurate service
- There’s more stock, more SKUs, and more channels to manage
- Warehouses are under more space and labour pressure than ever
- Older systems just aren’t keeping up
3PL providers who make the move now will be better positioned to handle what’s coming and stay competitive.
