Prioritize service-levels and systems that match your order profile: inventory visibility (WMS with real-time reporting), pick-and-pack throughput, SLAs for order accuracy, reverse logistics capability, and transport integration for national carriers. Also assess local labor skills and seasonal capacity constraints.

Karumba’s coastal position shortens sea legs for northern shipments and reduces feeder distances. Road connectivity to regional hubs enables predictable drayage to national lanes, trimming last-mile time and often lowering total landed cost when compared to rerouting through distant metropolitan hubs.

Confirm racking and cube efficiency, dock count and configuration, cross-dock capability, temperature control (if needed), and redundancy for power and communications. Verify WMS capabilities, EDI/API integrations, barcode scanning, and reporting frequency to ensure inventory accuracy and scalable throughput.
