Why 3PLs Compare ShipHero Alternatives
Choosing a WMS is rarely about finding the platform with the longest feature list. The real question is whether the system fits your warehouse.
You may be comparing alternatives because your operation has:
- Complex client-specific billing rules
- A mix of DTC, B2B, wholesale, and marketplace orders
- High SKU counts or apparel variants
- Multiple clients with different workflows
- Kitting, labeling, inserts, relabeling, and other value-added services
- Returns that require inspection, grading, restocking, or disposal
- Growing warehouse teams and locations
- A need for clearer pricing or a different cost structure
These are the areas where Stacket should be evaluated.

Stacket differentiation
Where Stacket Is Designed to Be Different
Warehouse Activity and Billing Stay Connected
A 3PL does not make money simply because an order shipped. Revenue can be created when inventory is received, stored, picked, packed, labeled, kitted, returned, inspected, relabeled, disposed of, or specially handled.
Stacket connects those warehouse activities with each client's billing rules.
× $0.40 receiving rate
= $192 billable receiving charge
You should be able to trace a charge back to the warehouse activity that created it.
Explore 3PL Billing AutomationBuilt for Client-Specific 3PL Operations
Two clients in the same warehouse may operate very differently. One may ship thousands of single-item Shopify orders. Another may send palletized B2B orders. Another may require labeling, kitting, inserts, Amazon prep, returns inspection, or special packaging.
Stacket keeps the client, inventory, workflows, rates, orders, returns, and reporting separate, while your warehouse operates from a single system.
High-SKU and Apparel Operations
A single apparel style can turn into dozens of inventory combinations across size, color, barcode, bin, client, and return status.
Stacket supports style, size, and color visibility, barcode-driven receiving and picking, bin-level inventory, pick validation, returns classification, DTC, wholesale, and marketplace fulfillment, plus kitting, relabeling, and special handling.
Explore High-SKU Warehouse ManagementDTC and B2B in the Same Warehouse
Many growing 3PLs no longer run one fulfillment model. A warehouse may process individual ecommerce orders during the day and palletized wholesale or retail replenishment orders for the same customer.
Stacket supports DTC, B2B, wholesale, and marketplace workflows within the same warehouse environment.

Returned inventory should not disappear into an exception bin.
Stacket supports return receipt, barcode validation, inspection, condition classification, restocking, exception handling, and return-related billing. That helps the warehouse maintain inventory accuracy while capturing the work performed on the client's behalf.
