Prioritize turnaround times, dock and staging capacity, pallet positions and racking type, WMS/ERP APIs, SLA clarity, order accuracy rates, and scalability for peak periods. Verify carrier access, reverse-logistics capability, and local labor pools to ensure consistent fulfillment performance.

Transport connectivity affects mode choices and transit time: proximity to main roads and rail reduces drayage and LTL costs; shorter routes to ports cut export lead times. A well-located Targovishte facility can lower total landed cost by enabling consolidation, reducing empty miles, and improving carrier pricing leverage.

Require a modern WMS with barcode scanning, real-time inventory visibility, API/EDI connectivity, and support for kitting, labeling, batch/lot tracking, and temperature control if needed. Confirm 3PL capacity for returns processing, custom packaging, and quality inspection to streamline B2B fulfillment.

Typical costs include storage per pallet/sqm, receiving and putaway fees, pick/pack and cartonization charges, handling for value-added services, and minimum monthly activity. Negotiate volume tiers, flexible minimums, transparent accessorials, and KPI-based reviews to align costs with actual throughput and seasonal demand.
