How the rules protect you.

Connect-first

You choose who can reach you.

Verify your company and Connect to start. A provider can reply after your message or an approved quote request — not send a cold introduction.

Your feed

Follow is interest, not permission.

Your feed brings together Updates from providers you follow or connect with. Following does not grant messaging access.

Your control

You can close the conversation.

Disconnect stops new messages in both directions. Existing conversation history stays, so you keep the record of what was discussed.

Good questions

What both sides should know.

What is 3PL Connect?

3PL Connect brings shippers and 3PL Warehousing Providers together. Use Eleanor to find providers, compare their details and start a conversation. Keep your shortlist and the relationship in the same workspace.

How does matching work?

Tell Eleanor what you ship, where it needs to go and what handling it requires. Review the matches and their reasons, then compare provider details. Confirm availability and any missing information with the provider before committing freight.

Are the providers real and verified?

Search eligibility requires an active provider plan plus business and facility verification. That is not a guarantee of service quality or space. Check the documents and handling requirements for the location you will use.

Can a provider pay to rank higher?

No. Fit decides the organic order. Your provider plan determines the seats and support available at each verified location.

What does it cost?

Shippers can browse, match, save, and compare free. Verify your company at no charge to connect, message providers, and request quotes. Verification is reviewed, not instant. 3PL Warehousing Provider plans start at $199 a month per verified location.

Full tier details on the pricing page.

How are provider locations priced?

Every 3PL Warehousing Provider plan is priced per verified location: Basic $199 a month with 1 seat, Pro $349 a month with up to 5 seats, and Max $799 a month with up to 20 seats. Each verified location is on its own plan. Billed yearly, 3PL Warehousing Provider plans are Basic $1,990/yr, Pro $3,490/yr, and Max $7,990/yr, each per verified location.

What if nothing fits?

Review your requirements and decide which are flexible. Keep essential handling and safety requirements intact. You may need to look beyond the available matches.
