Why teams connect Box and Extensiv (3PL Central)

Move the documents and data that Extensiv (3PL Central) produces into Box as files, and let files stored in Box update the records they belong to in Extensiv (3PL Central), continuously and without exports or manual filing.

Extensiv (3PL Central) runs the business on structured records: Orders, Receivers, Shipments, Warehouses. Box holds files and the metadata that describes them: Files, Folders, Metadata, Collaborations. The two do not share a customer table or an order ledger. What they share is documents. Nearly every record Extensiv (3PL Central) touches produces a file that belongs in storage, whether an invoice, a purchase order, a statement, or a shipping doc, and many files that land in Box, from signed contracts to vendor bills to receipts, describe a transaction Extensiv (3PL Central) needs to record. Left unconnected, that link is maintained by hand: someone exports a PDF and drags it into a folder, or downloads a file and keys its details into a record.

Stacksync keeps Orders, Receivers, Shipments, Warehouses in Extensiv (3PL Central) and Files, Folders, Metadata, Collaborations in Box in sync, bi-directionally and in real time. A document and its details, the customer, the type, the date, an amount, an order or invoice number, are mapped field by field, so a file arrives in Box already labeled and filed, and metadata captured against a stored file can create or update the matching record in Extensiv (3PL Central). Changes on either side show up within seconds, with conflict resolution in place of nightly exports and manual filing.

The result is that a transaction and the document that backs it stay together. Finance, operations, and audit teams find the file behind a record without digging through folders, and the record in Extensiv (3PL Central) and the file in Box never describe two different versions of the same document.

Common use cases

  • 01 Consolidate order and shipment data across 3PL clients into a reporting database for billing and SLA tracking.
  • 02 Sync commerce or ERP orders into 3PL Central for fulfillment, and sync shipment confirmations with tracking numbers back.
  • 03 Stream enterprise Events (admin events) into a warehouse for audit, DLP, and access-review reporting.
  • 04 Two-way sync of Files and Folders between Box and an operational database so applications track document status without calling the Box API directly.

Common sync patterns

Metadata that files itself

Record fields from Extensiv (3PL Central), like customer, date, amount, type, and reference number, become the metadata and tags on the stored file in Box, so storage stays organized without anyone tagging by hand.

Where Box captures inbound files: details reach the record

A contract, vendor bill, or receipt added to Box with its details can create or update the matching record in Extensiv (3PL Central), so a document captured outside the finance system still reaches the books.

An archive that stays current

As records change in Extensiv (3PL Central), the corresponding files and metadata in Box are kept in step, so a stored document reflects the latest version rather than a stale one-time export.

What you can sync between Box and Extensiv (3PL Central)

Representative objects on each side — any object or custom field can map to any target. Schemas are auto-detected; types are converted between the two systems.

Box objects Extensiv (3PL Central) objects How this pairing syncs
Files Core content object with versions, name, size, and metadata; synced two-way so files and their attributes move between Box and a database or another store. Customers The 3PL's clients; nearly every other record is scoped to one, so syncs carry customer context on each call. Files is specific to Box and Customers to Extensiv (3PL Central) — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Folders Hierarchical containers whose tree, names, and parent moves are mirrored so a target system reflects Box's structure; the account root is always folder ID 0. Items SKU masters kept aligned between the merchant's systems and the warehouse. Folders is specific to Box and Items to Extensiv (3PL Central) — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Metadata Structured key-value instances attached to files and folders via metadata templates; synced two-way with database columns for classification and search. Inventory On-hand and available quantities by warehouse, mirrored out to drive channel availability. Metadata is specific to Box and Inventory to Extensiv (3PL Central) — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Collaborations Access grants linking a user or group to a file or folder with a role such as viewer, editor, or co-owner; written to manage sharing programmatically. Orders Outbound fulfillment orders pushed in from commerce or ERP systems. Collaborations is specific to Box and Orders to Extensiv (3PL Central) — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Users Managed and app users in the enterprise; provisioned, updated, and deprovisioned to keep Box access aligned with an HR or identity source. Receivers Inbound receiving records (receipts/ASNs) that confirm stock arrival back to purchasing systems. Users is specific to Box and Receivers to Extensiv (3PL Central) — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Groups Named user collections used for bulk collaboration; membership synced from a directory or IdP. Shipments Carrier and tracking details synced back once orders ship. Groups is specific to Box and Shipments to Extensiv (3PL Central) — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Box and Extensiv (3PL Central)

Each direction of the sync is driven by what the source system can signal and what the destination accepts — detection, delivery, and expected latency below.

Box Extensiv (3PL Central) Sub-second propagation

DetectionBox notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. V2 webhooks fire on triggers such as FILE.UPLOADED, FILE.TRASHED, and METADATA_INSTANCE.UPDATED.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Extensiv (3PL Central) through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

DetectionExtensiv (3PL Central) notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhook events for order, receipt, item, and inventory changes, with polling on modified-date filters as a fallback.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Box through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Box: Per user: 1,000 API calls per minute and 240 file uploads per minute; exceeding limits returns HTTP 429 with a Retry-After header. Box Business plans also carry a licensed monthly API-call allotment per enterprise.
  • Extensiv (3PL Central): Subject to the platform's API rate limits; batch endpoints reduce call volume for order and inventory syncs.
