Multi-tenant inventory isolation, wave picking for high-volume order batches, and stock sync across every sales channel a client uses. Black Friday capacity that doesn't need pre-coordination.
Every industry has its quirks. Here are yours.
We've mapped the operational quirks of e-commerce & 3pl against Nautilus capabilities. Each challenge here pairs with how we handle it.
Multi-channel sync
Shopify, Amazon, eBay, and your own site all show different stock levels. One oversell and your seller ratings take months to recover.
Real-time channel sync
Every scan updates stock levels across all connected channels within seconds. Overselling becomes impossible once allocation rules are in place.
Multi-client separation
3PL operators store inventory for dozens of clients. Co-mingling is a contract breach waiting to happen, and clients audit on it regularly.
Client isolation
Separate inventory, locations, and reporting by client. Each client sees only their own data through white-labeled dashboards on your subdomain.
Peak season scaling
Black Friday traffic can 10x your daily order volume. Your warehouse process needs to scale instantly, not after a one-week procurement cycle.
Wave picking
AI groups orders into optimal pick waves. Multiple pickers work simultaneously without path conflicts, doubling throughput per picker.
From dock to door.
Every action a e-commerce & 3pl warehouse takes, mapped to a Nautilus flow — running on phones, tablets, or rugged scanners.
Multi-tenant receipt
Inbound scan against ASN. Receipts separate inventory by tenant at scan time; tenant ID attaches to every unit and travels with it.
Smart putaway
AI routes to bin locations by velocity and tenant rules. Cross-dock flags surface where appropriate, skipping the storage step entirely.
Wave pick
Orders group into pick waves by zone and pack-station capacity. Pickers work in parallel without path conflicts; the system rebalances waves live as conditions change.
Rate-shop & ship
Pack stations rate-shop carriers. Labels, customs forms, and channel notifications fire on pick completion, not on shipment confirmation.

How does multi-tenant isolation work for 3PL?
Each client tenant has its own inventory namespace within Nautilus. Stock counts, locations, orders, and reporting are tenant-scoped by default; operators only see their assigned tenant unless they have multi-tenant permissions. Cross-tenant transfers (a client moving inventory between facilities you operate) require explicit approval and leave a full audit trail. Co-mingling never happens at the data layer.
Can we white-label dashboards for our clients?
Yes. Pro and Enterprise plans include white-label dashboards that show your branding to your clients instead of Nautilus's. Clients log in via your subdomain (warehouse.yourcompany.com), see your colors and logo, and the URL never leaves your domain. The white-label runs the same Nautilus UI under the hood — you don't maintain a fork.
How is billing handled for 3PL clients with different services?
Nautilus exports the data your billing system needs (receipts, storage days by SKU, pick activity, kit assemblies, returns processed). The export feeds into your billing engine; most 3PLs run NetSuite, ShipHero, or a custom billing app. We don't try to be your billing system; we provide the metered events your billing system needs to invoice clients accurately.
What about peak-season scaling for Black Friday-style spikes?
Nautilus is designed for variable scale. The API handles peaks of 10,000+ orders per minute; the picking floor's bottleneck is staffing, not software. For very large peaks (200,000+ orders in a 24-hour window), we recommend a 72-hour pre-coordination conversation so we can monitor your tenant closely and pre-position any infrastructure adjustments. We have not had a customer's Black Friday fail because of Nautilus.
