Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about integrating Scale3PL with your AIMS360 apparel ERP.

What is Scale3PL?

Scale3PL is an omni-channel, high-touch third-party logistics (3PL) provider focused on premium e-commerce and wholesale apparel brands. Their fulfillment centers in Southern California combine advanced robotics with experienced operators to deliver fast, accurate pick, pack, and ship — including same-day shipping seven days a week. Scale3PL serves DTC, B2B wholesale, marketplace, and cross-border channels, all integrated with the AIMS360 apparel ERP.

How does the AIMS360 and Scale3PL integration work?

AIMS360 connects directly to Scale3PL with the deepest 3PL integration in apparel. The integration covers items and inventory (item exports, inventory adjustments, inventory snapshots), inbound flows (purchase orders, return authorizations, transfer orders, blind receipts), and outbound flows (customer fulfillment requests with cancellations and modifications, transfer fulfillment requests, and confirmations back to AIMS360). Every transaction flows automatically — no spreadsheets, no manual re-keying. Read our full 3PL guide to see how it works end to end.

Is AIMS360 the best ERP integration with Scale3PL?

AIMS360 offers the most complete apparel ERP integration with Scale3PL. While many ERPs only send orders and receive shipment confirmations, AIMS360 covers the full lifecycle — purchase orders, return authorizations, transfer orders, blind receipts, inventory adjustments, inventory snapshots, fulfillment cancellations, and fulfillment modifications.

AIMS360 also includes 3PL integration in every subscription with no additional monthly fee, which is unusual in the apparel ERP market. Combined with the largest network of integrated 3PLs of any apparel software in the US and Canada, AIMS360 is the most cost-effective and comprehensive choice for brands using Scale3PL. See pricing or book a demo.

What types of orders can Scale3PL fulfill for AIMS360 brands?

Scale3PL handles direct-to-consumer e-commerce, B2B wholesale (including retail-ready and routing-guide compliance for major retailers), marketplace and dropship orders, and cross-border international shipments with customs and compliance support. Returns processing, kitting, customized packaging, and on-site product photography are also supported, and everything posts cleanly back to AIMS360.

How does returns management work between AIMS360 and Scale3PL?

When a customer return is initiated in AIMS360, a Return Authorization (RA) is exported to Scale3PL automatically. Scale3PL receives, inspects, and processes the return at the fulfillment center, then sends a Return Authorization Receipt back to AIMS360. The return updates inventory by style, color, and size in real time, and the RMA, restocking, and customer credit flow stay inside AIMS360 — so finance, customer service, and operations all see the same accurate picture. Learn more about AIMS360 returns management.

Does the integration handle purchase orders and inbound receiving?

Yes. AIMS360 exports Purchase Orders directly to Scale3PL, and Scale3PL sends Purchase Order Receipts back as goods arrive. The integration also supports Transfer Orders between locations, Transfer Order Receipts, and Blind Receipts for inventory that arrives without a referenced PO. This gives apparel brands full inbound visibility from factory to fulfillment center, all reflected in AIMS360 in real time. See more about AIMS360 3PL integrations.

How is inventory kept accurate between AIMS360 and Scale3PL?

Inventory stays in sync through three mechanisms: item updates flow from AIMS360 to Scale3PL whenever new styles, colors, or sizes are created; inventory adjustments flow back to AIMS360 whenever Scale3PL records changes such as cycle counts, damages, or write-offs; and inventory snapshots are sent on a scheduled cadence so AIMS360 can reconcile balances. Discrepancies are flagged automatically — you never have to email the warehouse for an approximate count. See our complete inventory management guide.

Can fulfillment requests be cancelled or modified after they're sent to Scale3PL?

Yes. The integration supports both Customer Fulfillment Request Cancellations and Customer Fulfillment Request Modifications. If a customer changes an order, upgrades shipping, or cancels before pick — AIMS360 sends the update to Scale3PL automatically. This is critical for DTC brands handling high order volume, where last-minute changes are routine and manual fixes don't scale.

What EDI transactions does the integration support?

AIMS360 supports the full set of warehouse and retail EDI transactions used in apparel fulfillment, including 940 (ship order), 945 (ship confirmation), 943 (warehouse transfer ship), 944 (warehouse transfer receipt advice), 846 (inventory inquiry), 856 (advance ship notice), 850 (purchase order), 855 (PO acknowledgment), 810 (invoice), and 997 (functional acknowledgment). EDI is built into AIMS360 — no separate EDI provider is required to connect to Scale3PL or major retailers. Read our complete EDI guide.

Does the integration cost extra?

No. AIMS360 includes 3PL integration with every subscription at no additional monthly fee — including the Scale3PL connection. Most apparel ERPs charge per integration or per warehouse connection, which adds up quickly for brands using multiple 3PLs. AIMS360 has the largest network of 3PLs connected to an apparel software in the United States and Canada, all included. See pricing details.

Where are Scale3PL's fulfillment centers located?

Scale3PL operates fulfillment centers in Southern California — in Santa Ana and Huntington Beach — less than 20 minutes from the Port of Long Beach. The proximity to one of North America's largest import gateways means inbound containers can move from ship to shelf quickly, typically receivable in under 48 hours of arrival, which lowers transportation costs and shortens the time to first sale on new inventory. Browse other AIMS360-integrated 3PLs.

Do I need EDI capabilities to use this integration?

EDI is built into AIMS360, and the connection to Scale3PL uses standard transaction sets like 940 and 945. Your AIMS360 implementation team configures the mapping, retailer routing guides, and label requirements during onboarding, so you don't need a separate EDI provider or in-house technical expertise to get started. Learn more about apparel EDI.

Can Scale3PL handle garment-on-hanger and retail-ready fulfillment?

Yes. Scale3PL supports apparel-specific fulfillment workflows including garment-on-hanger (GOH), folded and polybagged shipments, ticketing, kitting, custom packaging, and retailer routing guide compliance. For wholesale orders going into major retailers, Scale3PL handles UCC-128 carton labeling and ASN requirements that work seamlessly with AIMS360's EDI module.

How long does it take to onboard?

Onboarding typically follows three steps: connecting AIMS360 to Scale3PL through the existing integration framework, transferring inventory to a Scale3PL fulfillment center, and going live on order fulfillment. Most AIMS360 brands begin shipping live orders within a few weeks of kickoff. Brands switching from another 3PL can usually run parallel for a short period to ensure a smooth cutover. Learn more about AIMS360 implementation.

Will I still see my inventory in AIMS360?

Yes. AIMS360 shows your Scale3PL inventory and any other internal warehouse, 3PL, or retail store inventory in real time. This is one of the core advantages of having AIMS360 as your software of record — every location flows into a single, accurate view at the style-color-size matrix level.

It also helps you spot and resolve discrepancies quickly, and gives you the flexibility to add or remove warehouses at any time without rebuilding your operations. See the inventory management guide.
