Pick Extensiv if

• Fits if you run a 3PL warehouse and bill clients for storage and handling
• Works for warehouses that scan with handhelds

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if you are a brand running its own single warehouse
• Not for you if you want a price, as it goes through a demo
• Watch out: the home page says Extensiv has joined forces with Descartes, so packaging may change
• Skip it if you want a free trial, as no plan details were readable

Pick Zenventory if

• Fits if you run a 3PL and need client billing and a client portal
• Works for brands shipping under 10,000 parcels a month from one warehouse

Look elsewhere if

• Tight if you ship past 10,000 a month, as Starter stops there and Growth is $799
• Skip it if you want a trial, because none is listed
• Watch out: each warehouse beyond those included is $100 a month
• Watch out: the $249 intro price lasts 3 months only
