Boltrics 3PL Software: Understanding Master Data

Master data is the foundation of every ERP system—but in a third-party logistics (3PL) environment, it looks very different from what it does in a traditional ERP implementation. In this video, we provide a high-level overview of the master data available in Boltrics 3PL and highlight some of the differences between it and the standard master data found in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central.

Boltrics 3PL is a purpose-built 3PL ERP software system embedded in Business Central, designed specifically to support the operational realities of third-party logistics providers. While it uses Business Central as its foundation, Boltrics extends the platform with logistics-specific master data to better support multi-customer warehouses, inventory segmentation, billing, and operational workflows.

The video walks through the key types of master data used in Boltrics 3PL, including customers, vendors, items, inventory structures, services, warehouse locations, and contracts. It also highlights important differences from standard Business Central, such as how vendors are modeled as transport carriers rather than traditional purchasing vendors, and how master data is structured to support warehouse execution and logistics billing.

In the video below, we walk through:

• What master data is available in Boltrics 3PL
• How Boltrics master data differs from standard Business Central master data
• How these differences support real-world third-party logistics workflows

If you’re evaluating a 3PL ERP software system, or if you’re already using Business Central and considering Boltrics, this overview provides helpful context on how master data is structured to support scalable, multi-customer 3PL operations.
