Evaluate carrier connectivity (road and rail links), WMS compatibility and API capabilities, warehouse layout for pick density, available value‑added services (kitting, returns processing, cold chain), SLA performance history, and proximity to your core customer clusters to minimize transit times and freight cost.

Compare fixed vs. variable storage rates, pick/pack and handling fees, inbound receiving charges, minimum monthly volumes, pallet vs. cubic billing, labor surcharges, seasonal capacity premiums, and any freight consolidation or fuel surcharges to model total landed cost.

Specify order accuracy, on-time dispatch, dock-to-stock cycle, inventory accuracy, reporting cadence, claim and damage resolution timelines, uptime for integrations, and clear penalty or remediation clauses tied to SLA breaches to maintain consistent service levels.

Moxico’s road and growing rail links allow cost-effective trunking to major ports and inland hubs, support consolidation for export lanes, and enable more predictable transit windows. Assess carrier density, consolidation frequency, and intermodal transfer points to optimize routes and reduce per-unit freight cost.
