Prioritize transit time variability and on‑time delivery, pick/pack accuracy, order cycle time, carrier network coverage, and warehouse throughput. Equally important are WMS/API integration, scalability of storage and labor, value‑added services (kitting, returns), and clear SLA and chargeback terms to measure total landed cost and service reliability.

Expect lower occupancy and handling rates in Oghuz but potentially different minimums and accessorials. Contracts often allow more flexibility on slotting and seasonal capacity; evaluate fuel and carrier access fees, inbound consolidation credits, minimum monthly throughput, and transparency of per‑order and per‑pallet billing to compare true landed cost.

Require a modern WMS with open APIs or EDI, real‑time inventory sync to your OMS, shipment tracking and TMS connectivity, exception reporting, and configurable dashboards. Also confirm batch processing for returns and kitting, audit trails for compliance, and secure data exchange to support omnichannel order orchestration.
