Evaluate measurable service levels: WMS/API integration, picking accuracy, order cycle times, slotting flexibility, and returns handling. Assess carrier connectivity, cross‑dock and bonded options, temperature control if required, and scalability of racked capacity. Compare total landed cost projections including transport, handling, and inventory carrying.

Proximity to the Hungarian border and reasonable access to Vienna expands carrier choices and shortens overland transit to key CEE corridors. This location can reduce driving time to eastern Austrian and western Hungarian destinations, improving regional delivery windows and enabling competitive zone‑based cost models for B2B and eCommerce shipments.

Verify certifications, temperature monitoring, and SLAs for handling exceptions to ensure compliance with product‑specific storage and processing requirements.

Model facility rent, labor rates, handling charges (pick/pack), inbound/outbound transport, and inventory carrying cost. Use KPIs such as orders per hour, on‑time delivery, inventory accuracy, and landed cost per SKU. Consider tradeoffs: lower facility costs in Eisenstadt versus potentially higher outbound zone charges to distant urban end markets.
