Each new Extensiv client requires custom integrations to their unique channels and systems, creating weeks of setup time and ongoing maintenance overhead.
Supporting each client's expanding channel mix through Extensiv requires constant integration development that strains technical resources and delays growth.
Maintaining real-time synchronization between Extensiv and dozens of client channels becomes exponentially complex as transaction volumes increase.

A WMS manages the warehouse: receiving, putaway, picking, packing, and shipping. An order management system (OMS) manages orders and inventory across every sales channel, warehouse, and fulfillment partner. Extensiv WMS (formerly 3PL Central) runs the warehouse; an OMS sits above it to route orders, hold a single real-time inventory source of truth, and orchestrate fulfillment.
Pipe17 is a modern OMS and Order Operations Platform that pairs with Extensiv WMS, so warehouse execution and cross-channel order management each run on purpose-built software. That division is why a WMS alone is not enough for multi-channel operations.
Yes, Extensiv offers its own OMS, Extensiv Order Manager (formerly Skubana), which Pipe17 integrates with. Whether you run Extensiv Order Manager or another OMS, Pipe17 adds a modern order management layer built for operations on Extensiv WMS: cross-channel routing and orchestration, a single real-time inventory source of truth across every warehouse and client, and exception handling business users control without engineering.
Pipe17 runs on multi-region AWS with 99.99% uptime and SOC 2 Type 2, so 3PLs and enterprise brands get enterprise-grade order management alongside Extensiv's warehouse execution.
The best order management system for Extensiv WMS is one that adds real-time, cross-channel order management and inventory without a custom build or a legacy OMS rebuild. Pipe17 gives operations on Extensiv WMS a managed connectivity network plus a modern order management system in one platform: real-time inventory, configurable routing, exception handling, and lower total cost of ownership.
Custom integrations break when APIs change, and legacy order management systems were built store-first and batch-based, not for multi-channel or multi-client operations. Mobix scaled 3X with 85% lower operating costs, and Barrett cut its IT load while onboarding brands faster.
You integrate Extensiv WMS (formerly 3PL Central) with your channels and systems through Pipe17, which connects it to every channel and back-office system your brand clients sell and operate on, then runs order management and inventory management across all of it. Pipe17 pushes client-specific ASNs and product masters into Extensiv and pulls fulfillments, inventory, locations, receipts, returns, and shipments back out.
Pre-built connectors let a new Extensiv client go live in hours, on a platform built for 3PLs running many clients at once.
Ten bidirectional data flows sync between Extensiv WMS and your channels through Pipe17. It pushes arrivals (ASNs) and product masters in, and pulls fulfillments, inventory, locations, receipts, returns, and shipments out, plus pushes RMAs and shipment cancellations.
Orders captured on channels like Shopify, Amazon, and TikTok Shop route into Extensiv for fulfillment, and tracking flows back to keep each channel current. Inventory stays accurate across every client and location through real-time sync rather than nightly batch files.
You connect Extensiv WMS to NetSuite through Pipe17, which keeps orders, inventory, fulfillments, and product data in sync between the warehouse and your ERP without custom code. Sales orders from your channels flow to Extensiv for fulfillment, and shipment and tracking data flow back to NetSuite to close orders and trigger invoicing.
The same managed connectivity links Extensiv to other ERPs like Acumatica, so finance and operations work from one accurate set of order and inventory records instead of reconciling spreadsheets.
3PLs onboard new clients on Extensiv WMS in hours instead of weeks by standardizing connectivity and order management on Pipe17, which cuts setup time by about 95% and removes 90% of ongoing integration maintenance. Pre-built connectors mean adding a brand's channels, marketplaces, and ERP does not require custom development per client.
Radial cut onboarding from 18 weeks to 1 week after standardizing on Pipe17. The connector activates fast; the durable win is one order and inventory layer your operations team controls without engineering.
You keep inventory accurate across multiple Extensiv WMS clients with Pipe17's real-time inventory management, which holds 99.9% accuracy by syncing stock by client and location with segregated visibility and allocation rules, so one brand's counts never bleed into another's. This single inventory source of truth prevents the overselling and phantom stock that batch syncs create as volumes climb.
Every channel, from Shopify to Walmart Marketplace, reflects current availability, and Pipe17 scales to process 10x more transactions without losing accuracy.
You route and orchestrate orders across multiple Extensiv WMS warehouses and clients with Pipe17's order management, which sends every order to the right facility or fulfillment node based on real-time inventory, location, and each client's business rules. It handles order splitting and consolidation, holds, modifications, and cancellations from one platform, with drag-and-drop rules your operations team sets without engineering.
For 3PLs, that means honoring each brand's routing logic, like sending Walmart orders to a specific facility, without writing custom code per client.
Returns and order exceptions are handled through Pipe17's order management, which pushes RMAs into Extensiv WMS with each client's disposition rules and pulls return completions back to update inventory and trigger refunds automatically. Built-in exception management flags stuck or errored orders before they turn into client escalations, and brands get self-service visibility into holds, buffers, and notifications.
ITB Fulfillment, a 3PL on Pipe17, uses this model to resolve many brand issues without tying up its support team.
AI-driven order management works with Extensiv WMS because Pipe17 is AI-native and event-based: order and inventory changes propagate in real time across Extensiv and every channel instead of batch syncing. Pippen AI writes automation logic and answers natural-language questions about orders in production today.
An onX-compliant Pipe17 MCP server lets AI agents act on your order and inventory data, and agentic selling channels connect like any other channel, no different from Shopify or Amazon.
