Pipe17 sends each retailer inventory from the one count your DTC and marketplace channels sell against, so no retailer feed holds a separate stock figure.
Pipe17 acknowledges each order, and your routing rules pick the warehouse, 3PL, or store that ships it, the same rules your other channels use.
Pipe17 posts each package's tracking to the retailer through Logicbroker, then invoices once every shipment is in. A rejected shipment raises an exception.

The Pipe17 Logicbroker integration pulls each retailer's dropship orders out of Logicbroker by API, acknowledges them, routes them to your warehouse, 3PL, or store, and sends shipments, invoices, cancellations, and available inventory back to the retailer. Pipe17 is the order management system (OMS) behind the program: a retailer's orders share one inventory pool and one set of routing rules with orders from storefronts like Shopify and marketplaces like Amazon.
No, Pipe17 does not replace Logicbroker. Logicbroker stays the network that connects you to each retailer's dropship program and carries every document. Pipe17 runs the order operations behind those programs: routing every order to a fulfillment location, keeping one inventory count across Logicbroker, DTC, and marketplace channels, and raising an exception when Logicbroker rejects a shipment. A brand running both needs no iPaaS or legacy OMS behind its retailer programs.
Pipe17 holds one live inventory pool across every location you ship from and sends each Logicbroker retailer the available quantity per SKU from that pool, with a buffer per channel when you want to hold stock back from a retailer feed. DTC, marketplace, and retailer dropship orders draw on the same available count, and the inventory sync to each retailer reflects what every other channel has already sold.
Yes, Pipe17 runs the retailer programs you reach through Logicbroker beside those you reach through Rithum's DSCO and retailers that transact by EDI, each as a sales channel. EDI retailers connect through Pipe17's managed EDI or the EDI provider you already use, and every program's orders share the same inventory count, routing rules, and exception queue.
When a warehouse or 3PL rejects a line, or you cancel part of a shipping request, Pipe17 tells the retailer through Logicbroker which quantities were canceled and why, as an updated acknowledgment. The retailer sees the shortfall in Logicbroker instead of waiting on a shipment that never comes, and the lines that did ship still post with tracking.
Pipe17 pulls orders continuously and as Logicbroker publishes them, and a recurring sweep catches any order a webhook missed. An acknowledgment or invoice that fails to send is replayed, and a shipment Logicbroker rejects raises an exception on its shipping request rather than disappearing. The platform runs on a 99.9% uptime SLA.
Logicbroker orders enter Pipe17 first, route to fulfillment, and post to NetSuite or Acumatica as sales orders with their fulfillments, the same way your other channels' orders do. The retailer's PO number, ship-to address, line prices, taxes, and discounts travel with the order, and the invoice Pipe17 sends the retailer through Logicbroker is built from what shipped. Pipe17 reads the Logicbroker API directly, with no file exchange to maintain.
For Logicbroker dropship, Pipe17 is an enterprise order management system (OMS) that connects to Logicbroker as a sales channel and runs the dropship orders Logicbroker delivers: routing, inventory, the handoff to warehouses and 3PLs, and the acknowledgments, shipments, and invoices back to the retailer. It takes the place of the legacy OMS behind your retailer programs, and the connector upkeep is Pipe17's job.
Yes, a 3PL fulfills its brand clients' Logicbroker orders through Pipe17. Each brand's Pipe17 account connects its own Logicbroker partner and the 3PL's warehouse system; Pipe17 routes the retailer's orders to the 3PL as shipping requests, and the 3PL's tracking posts back to the retailer through Logicbroker as the shipment it expects. 3PLs on Pipe17 serve every client's retailer programs through one platform instead of a build per retailer.
