Initial Email to Support
Please provide the specific pages, steps, reference/transaction numbers, and any other details relevant to the issue you're experiencing. Attaching screenshots will also help expedite troubleshooting.
If you intend to open a support case with multiple people included in the email, it is a best practice to include them after you receive your case confirmation email. This will ensure that others’ responses will also be included in your case.
Emailing our general support email address will automatically create a case for you in our case management system and prompt an automatic reply with a case number for your reference. We’ll take care of getting you to the right specialist, in which we strictly adhere to our initial response goal of 8 business hours.
Please note that because all emails directed to our Support email address open a new support case, we ask you to be mindful of including Support on ‘FYI’ emails unless you need us to take direct action. If Extensiv Support cannot add anything to the technical discussion of the issue at hand, Support should not be included in the email thread.
To be compliant with security regulations and to protect yourself and your customers, never share credentials (usernames and passwords) in plain text. Instead, indicate to Support that you have confidential credentials to share and ask the Support Engineer for best practices to do so securely.
Telephone
We recommend contacting us by telephone for urgent or Severity 1 issues.

Contacting through phone is a premium support for Integration Manager. If you’re interested in learning more about Premium support, you can go to your Profile page within Integration Manager, or email support, or learn more here.
When calling, please be prepared to provide the following:
• Your name and contact details
• Your company name
• Business impact and context for the issue you're experiencing, including specific project schedules at risk
• The steps that need to be taken to recreate the scenario—the system is highly flexible, so in order to ensure we're troubleshooting effectively. We always need the exact steps you've taken.
• Relevant reference/transaction numbers
• Whether functionality was working previously and what changed
• Any relevant error messages received
• When and how often the problem is occurring
In an instance where we are unable to offer you an immediate resolution to your issue on the phone, we will create a support case for further correspondence regarding your issue and communicate the steps we’ll be taking to resolve the matter as expeditiously as possible.
We highly recommend that, in the unlikely event that you are unable to reach a representative at that time, you stay on the line to leave as much information as possible in a voicemail. We are committed to calling back all voicemails within the hour that they are received.
Chat
3PL Warehouse Manager (Formerly 3PL Central):
In the bottom-left-hand corner of the 3PL interface, there is an option to "Chat with an Expert." You can select this option any time during our standard business hours to speak with an agent and submit a support case.
If no agent is available, this option will say "Contact Us" and request you to fill out a web form instead. If you submit this form, an agent will get back to you as soon as possible. (For response targets, see Understanding Support Processes.) Please specify your correct email address in this web form in order for an agent to follow up.
Order Manager (Formerly Skubana)
On every page of Order Manager, there is a dual-function tab in the bottom right that allows users to interact with the Help Center as well as a live support agent if necessary. If no agent is available, you can still start a chat and it will be answered by the first available operator during business hours.
Support Portal
Extensiv’s Support Portal will soon be available to all Extensiv users within the unified Hub login experience. Through here, you will be able to track your overall support experience and get quick case updates from a single location within the system.
The Support Portal can be accessed within Extensiv Hub via the link in the top right-hand corner:
If you click on that link and see that you don't have access to our Support Portal, please contact your warehouse administrator, who can communicate with your Customer Success Manager to grant you access.
Once in the Support Portal, you can select Create a Case from the top navigation menu to submit a new support case. To learn more about what's available in the Support Portal, please see Navigating the Support Portal or read our list of Support Portal FAQs.

Know who to contact
We have a number of resources you can use to engage with Extensiv, so it's important to understand who you should contact for different circumstances
Technical Support
1. You have questions regarding functionality in the system.
To get your questions answered more quickly, we highly recommend searching our Help Center for an answer before contacting Support.
2. You feel there is an unintended issue, or “bug”, in the system.
3. You are following up on a case that you don’t see in the Support Portal.
As a summary rule of thumb, you should contact Technical Support when your question has to do with a feature that is already available to you in 3PL Warehouse Manager.
Customer Success Manager
Your Customer Success Manager (CSM) is vital when it comes to managing your contract and relationship. If your request deals with enabling premium features, engaging in paid services, discussing your subscription, or escalating more than one case at a time, then you should reach out to your CSM.
If you have questions related to your Extensiv subscription or invoice, please reference our Subscription Invoice and Billing FAQs before contacting your CSM.
If you find that you need to contact another department for any other reason, we’d encourage you to reach out to Technical Support via a phone call to receive the quickest answer.
If you're unsure how to contact your CSM, you can find their contact information when logged into the Support Portal. If you do not have access to the Support Portal, please contact customersuccess@extensiv.com.
Community
Extensiv Community is a platform we created so that you can communicate with other Extensiv users, stay informed on internal product updates, and share feedback on new features. This platform is currently available for 3PL Warehouse Manager users.
You should post in Community when you have a general workflow question, you are interested in the general direction of the product (ex: What’s the plan for SmartScan?), or you see a familiar Extensiv name and would love to just chat.
Submit a Product idea
Product Ideas serves as a tool for you to submit enhancement ideas directly within the product. You should submit a product idea any time you have a request for a feature or functionality that does not currently exist in the product. For more information, please see our list of Product Idea FAQs. This tool is currently available for 3PL Warehouse Manager users.
If you have a question about whether a feature currently exists in the system, don’t hesitate to reach out to Technical Support so an agent can help you investigate and direct you to the Product Ideas tool as needed.
