Third-party logistics providers carry their clients' inventory and their clients' expectations.
When a shipment leaves the facility short, overweight, or without a verified weight record, the problem lands on the 3PL: disputed invoices, SLA penalties, and a returns process that costs more than the original error.
Weight verification at the point of handling prevents these problems from becoming claims. The challenge is integrating weighing into a workflow that spans multiple clients, multiple vehicle types, and a warehouse floor that changes with each contract.
Create customer complaints, disputed invoices, and costly investigations that consume time on both sides.
Disappear into the client's warehouse and erode margins with no recovery path.
Clients measure performance by accuracy metrics. A pattern of weight discrepancies puts contract renewals at risk.
LOGIWEIGH systems transmit weight data in real time over your existing Wi-Fi network using WPA3 encrypted communication. Through our WebService layer, data flows directly into your ERP or WMS with no manual entry or intermediate steps.
Additional integrations available via API and WEBSERVICE
Weight data serves different functions at different points in the 3PL workflow. The right weighing solution depends on where the gap is.
Verifying inbound shipment weight against supplier documentation at the point of unloading. Discrepancies caught here are resolved with the supplier. Discrepancies caught later are absorbed by the 3PL.
Verified shipment weights support freight billing, load compliance, and client documentation. Missing weight data at this stage is the most common source of post-shipment disputes.
In weight-controlled picking operations, the actual weight of each picked order is compared against the expected weight before the order leaves the pick zone. This catches quantity errors before they become shipment errors.
LOGIWEIGH provides weighing systems for the full range of vehicles used in 3PL operations. Each system connects to your existing WMS or ERP over Wi-Fi using WPA3 encrypted communication, with weight data flowing directly into your system through our WebService layer. No manual entry, no intermediate steps.
For operations where weighing is needed on some forklifts but not all, or where the same forklift serves different clients across different shifts. SLIDE&WEIGH mounts over standard forklift forks in under 60 seconds and moves between vehicles as needed. No permanent installation, no commitment to a single truck.
For high-throughput picking operations where every lift needs a weight record. The weighing system is integrated into the electric order picker or warehouse truck and operates as part of the normal lifting function. Weight is captured automatically with each pick, with no additional step required from the operator.
For goods receipt and outbound operations handled by counterbalance forklifts. Weighing forks replace standard forks and communicate wirelessly with a cab-mounted indicator. Every pallet lifted generates a weight record tied to the lift event.

LOGIWEIGH offers three types of weighing systems suited to 3PL environments: removable forklift weighing sleeves (SLIDE&WEIGH) for flexible, on-demand use across mixed fleets; integrated weighing systems for electric order pickers and warehouse trucks used in high-throughput picking operations; and weighing forks for counterbalance forklifts handling inbound and outbound goods. All three connect to WMS and ERP systems through the same communication infrastructure.
LOGIWEIGH systems connect via Wi-Fi, Bluetooth Low Energy, RS232, or WebService, depending on the integration requirements. Confirmed integrations include SAP, Oracle, and Priority. Each weighing event generates a timestamped record that can be matched to an order line, pallet ID, operator, or shipment reference within the WMS.
Yes. LOGIWEIGH systems are configured to route weight data to the appropriate WMS environment based on the operation. For 3PL operators managing several client contracts under one roof, this means a single weighing infrastructure can serve multiple client systems without requiring separate hardware for each contract.
LOGIWEIGH's parent company, Shkila Ltd., has been manufacturing professional weighing systems since 1983 and holds ISO 9001 and ISO 17025 certifications. Forklift weighing systems have been in continuous operation in logistics environments since 2005, and weight-controlled order picking deployments have been running for over 15 years.
LOGIWEIGH operates through international distribution partners. If you are a 3PL operator evaluating weighing solutions, or a distributor looking to add logistics weighing to your portfolio, contact us to discuss your requirements.
