Third-party logistics operations

One clear view across every 3PL operation

Powerfleet helps 3PLs connect safety, compliance, fleet, and operational data across warehouses, yards, and roads, enabling teams to reduce risk, act faster, and keep complex operations under control.
Built for mixed fleets, multi-site operations, and the realities of contract-led logistics.

The 3PL reality

Complex operations should not mean fragmented control

Third-party logistics providers are under pressure to move faster, operate more safely, and provide customers with clearer visibility. Yet their operations are often spread across mixed fleets, rental assets, customer-specific sites, and legacy systems. That creates real problems:
Safety risks are harder to spot across warehouses, yards, vehicles, and drivers.
Incident reviews take longer when video, vehicle, operator, and site data sit in different systems.
Compliance becomes harder to defend when evidence is scattered or inconsistently managed.
Leaders lack the real-time view needed to manage safety, performance, and customer commitments across the full network.
Shippers increasingly judge 3PL providers on technology and visibility, not just price and service, and expect capabilities that many 3PLs cannot yet show.
For 3PLs, the problem is not a lack of data. It is too many disconnected views of the same operation.
What we solve

Visibility from the warehouse to the road

Powerfleet connects the operational environments 3PLs manage daily: warehouses, yards, industrial vehicles, trailers, road fleets, drivers, operators, and safety events.

Instead of managing on-site and on-road activities as separate systems, Powerfleet unifies them into a single connected intelligence layer. This gives safety, operations, compliance, and leadership teams a shared view of what is happening, where risk is building, and where action is needed.

Unify fragmented operations

Connect data from vehicles, industrial equipment, cameras, OEMs, and third-party systems. See site activity, fleet movement, and safety events in a shared operational view, without requiring every site to use the same systems first.

Prevent incidents earlier

Move from reactive reporting to earlier risk detection. AI video, pedestrian proximity detection, access control, and impact data help teams identify unsafe behaviours, high-risk zones, and repeated patterns before they escalate.

Standardise control across mixed fleets

Bring consistent safety and operating processes to customer sites, contracts, and asset types. Standardise operator access, pre-use checks, impact detection, utilisation reporting, and safety workflows across industrial and road fleets.

Make compliance easier to prove

Replace scattered records and manual evidence collection with digital records, automated reporting, and event evidence. Reduce audit preparation time and provide teams with clearer proof of what happened, when, and where.
The Powerfleet difference

Built for the full 3PL operation

Most providers solve one part of the 3PL problem. Powerfleet connects the whole operation: on-site safety, on-road intelligence, operator accountability, mixed-fleet visibility, and event evidence. Unity is the platform that brings it all together.
On-Site and On-Road intelligence in one layer
On-site and on-road intelligence in one layer Most safety and visibility tools cover either the warehouse and yard or the road. Powerfleet connects both, helping teams see forklift impacts, pedestrian proximity events, harsh braking, driver behaviour, and vehicle activity as part of the same operational risk picture.
No rip-and-replace
3PLs rarely run a single asset type, system, or equipment supplier, and replacing everything is rarely realistic. Powerfleet works across mixed fleets, rental assets, and varied sites so teams can improve visibility without a disruptive overhaul.
One safety view, not several
Forklift incidents, pedestrian proximity, road events, and driver behaviour are usually managed by different teams using different tools. Powerfleet helps consolidate those signals into one shared view, making it easier to spot patterns across sites and apply interventions consistently.
Evidence when it matters
When something happens, assumptions are expensive. Video, event data, access records, and impact information help teams understand what happened, support investigations, and coach with specifics instead of guesswork.
From visibility to action

Connect the data. See the risk. Act faster.

STEP 1

Connect your operation

Bring together site, vehicle, equipment, operator, camera, OEM, and third-party data across warehouses, yards, and roads. Unity turns dispersed information into one intelligent view of the operation.
STEP 2

See what matters

Surface safety risks, compliance events, asset issues, and operational patterns in context. Instead of asking teams to jump between systems, Powerfleet helps them focus on the events and trends that need attention.
STEP 3

Act with confidence

Use alerts, reporting, event evidence, and operational insight to intervene sooner, coach more effectively, and make better decisions across the network.
Connected solutions for 3PLs

Built for warehouses, yards, and roads

Powerfleet’s solution set is designed around how logistics work happens: people moving around busy sites, forklifts operating near pedestrians, vehicles travelling between locations, and leaders needing timely data to manage the entire operation. Each connects to Unity, so they work as one system rather than four separate tools.
Powerfleet Unity

Unity

One source of operational intelligence

Unity brings vehicle, equipment, video, and operational data into one platform, giving teams a clearer view across sites, fleets, and systems.

Use it to:
  • See connected data across the warehouse, yard, and road
  • Reduce blind spots between systems and teams
  • Give leaders a more consistent operational truth
Forklift Gateway

Forklift Gateway

Access control and accountability for Material Handling Equipment

Forklift Gateway helps control who can operate each vehicle, supports mandatory pre-use inspections, detects impacts, and monitors utilisation and maintenance data.

Use it to:
  • Reduce unauthorised vehicle use
  • Standardise pre-use checks
  • Capture impact, utilisation, and maintenance data

Pedestrian Proximity Detection

AI-powered awareness in high-risk zones

Pedestrian Proximity Detection uses embedded AI cameras to identify people and industrial vehicles, trigger audible and visual warnings, and show where repeated proximity events occur.

Use it to:
  • Warn operators and pedestrians in real time
  • Identify near-miss patterns and high-risk zones
  • Support coaching with event evidence
On-Road IoT

On-Road IoT

Real-time visibility for road fleet operations

On-Road IoT connects vehicle activity, location, trip history, route execution, exceptions, utilisation, fuel-related insights, and fleet performance data.

Use it to:
  • Track vehicle activity, location, and trip history
  • Monitor route execution, exceptions, and utilisation
  • Improve fleet performance, fuel visibility, and service reliability

VisionAI

On-road safety intelligence for logistics fleets

VisionAI helps teams understand risky driving behaviour, review events faster, and coach drivers with clearer evidence.

Use it to:
  • Identify high-risk driving behaviours
  • Support event review and insurance claims conversations
  • Connect road risk to the broader safety picture
