Storely

Storely is a warehouse management system for small and mid-size third-party logistics operators. It suits 3PLs that need client-separated stock, fulfillment controls, and invoicing in one application. The $399-per-month entry point is substantial, but unlimited users and orders make the cost predictable for a growing operation.

Overview

Storely is designed around multi-client warehouse work. Each client gets separate inventory records with lot tracking, expiry dates, quarantine statuses, and reporting, while Storely says every 3PL runs on a dedicated database and keeps clients’ inventory separated within the account. That structure is a meaningful fit for operators handling several customers’ goods where traceability and account boundaries matter.

Both plans allow unlimited warehouse users and orders, so adding staff or processing more orders does not introduce a per-seat or per-order charge. Capacity is instead governed by client and warehouse counts: Basic supports up to 250 clients and one warehouse, while Pro supports up to 1,000 clients and two warehouses. Those ceilings, rather than order volume, are the figures to model against expansion.

Key features

Warehouse execution

Orders can be grouped into waves, picked first-expiry-first-out, and confirmed by barcode scan. Storely’s phone-camera scanning decodes Code 128, QR, EAN, UPC, and Data Matrix codes, and keyboard-wedge hardware scanners are also supported. This combination suits teams that want to begin with phones but retain compatibility with conventional scanner equipment.

Client billing and visibility

Per-client rate cards and automatic capture of billing events turn warehouse activity into monthly invoices. Pro adds a client portal where customers can view inventory, submit advance shipping notices, create orders, and download invoices. That can reduce routine requests to warehouse staff, but the portal is reserved for the higher-priced tier.

Assembly and connectivity

The kitting, bundling, and assembly module adds bill-of-materials definitions and assembly jobs for operators whose work extends beyond straightforward pick-and-ship. Pro also includes QuickBooks Online synchronization, REST API access, and outbound webhooks for shipped orders, inventory changes, and received shipments. Shipping labels and rate shopping, ecommerce integrations, and EDI compliance are coming soon rather than current capabilities, so operations dependent on those connections should plan for other tooling.

Pricing

Basic costs $399 a month and includes one warehouse, up to 250 clients, unlimited warehouse users, and unlimited orders. It is the sensible starting tier for a single-site 3PL below that client limit, but it lacks the Pro client portal, QuickBooks Online sync, REST API, and webhooks.

Pro costs $1,599 a month and raises capacity to 1,000 clients and two warehouses while adding the portal, QuickBooks Online integration, API, and webhooks. It is aimed at multi-site or integration-heavy 3PLs; the fourfold price increase is difficult to justify if those capabilities are not operational requirements.

Additional warehouses cost $49 a month each, and 250 additional clients cost $99 a month. Kitting, bundling, and assembly is a $249 a month add-on. Dedicated onboarding is optional at $499.00 USD once. A 30-day trial is offered, plans have no implementation fees, and cancellation is allowed at any time. Storely says most customers can be live in two to five weeks.

Platforms

Storely runs on web, iOS, Android, and through an API. That covers browser-based operations, mobile scanning, and programmatic integration, with the Pro API and webhooks intended for real-time operational events.

Who it's for

Choose Storely if you run a small or mid-size 3PL, need strict client inventory separation, and want warehouse events tied directly to client billing. Basic fits a single warehouse with up to 250 clients; Pro is the more appropriate choice when two sites, customer self-service, accounting sync, or API-driven workflows are required.

Look elsewhere if EDI, live shipping-rate comparison, shipping-label production, or ecommerce connectivity is central today. Those capabilities are not currently part of Storely’s offering, and the Pro price is high for teams that do not need its integration and portal features.

Pros and cons

Pro: Unlimited users and orders on both plans avoid seat and transaction penalties as activity grows.

Pro: Per-client inventory controls, expiry-first picking, quarantine tracking, and rate-card billing match core 3PL requirements.

Pro: Phone-camera and hardware-scanner support gives warehouses two scanning approaches.

Con: Basic is limited to one warehouse and 250 clients, while Pro costs $1599 per month.

Con: EDI, ecommerce integrations, and shipping tools are not currently available.

Con: The client portal, QuickBooks sync, API, and webhooks require Pro.

Alternatives

Compare third-party logistics software if you want a broader shortlist.

Tremo is the better starting point for a very small operation that wants a free plan, with up to 100 pick lists per month before per-list charges.

CoreIMS is worth considering if you need Windows or self-hosted deployment alongside web, mobile, and API access, with a 15-day trial.

Brilliant WMS offers a month-to-month SaaS option for smaller-scale warehouse operations.

PrepShipHub is a lower-cost option for a single store and limited user and shipment volumes.

Packiyo WMS provides a 3PL plan at $949 a month with five users and up to 5,000 shipments per month.

Sumalogix WMS 3PL, Azuvio WMS, and FlowOps are alternative warehouse systems with their own plan structures.

Verdict

Storely is a strong choice for a growing 3PL that values isolated client inventory, controlled fulfillment, and integrated billing without per-user or per-order fees. Choose it when those controls outweigh the $399 Basic entry price and the Pro upgrade is justified by portal and integration needs. Choose another system if shipping connectivity, EDI, or ecommerce integrations are essential now, or if your operation is too small to absorb Storely’s monthly commitment.
