Evaluate warehouse layout and slotting flexibility, outbound throughput and picking accuracy rates, IT integrations (WMS/ERP/API), labor skill availability, and contingency plans for seasonal peaks. Also review carrier contracts, lead-times to Phnom Penh and border crossings, and value-added service capabilities like kitting or reverse logistics.

A centrally located 3PL in Pursat typically reduces overland transit to western provinces and shortens drayage to Phnom Penh ports compared with coastal hubs. That lowers per-shipment transportation cost and can improve delivery windows for B2B customers and eCommerce last-mile SLA adherence.

Confirm reliable utility supply, access roads suitable for heavy trailers, warehouse clear heights, racking capability, fire safety systems, and local permits. Verify customs brokerage experience if handling cross-border shipments and ensure the 3PL has established carrier contracts for trunk and last-mile services.

Operators can scale via flexible rent and labor contracts, optimize inventory velocity through zone-based replenishment, reduce holding costs by using cross-dock, and negotiate volume-based carrier rates. Assess the 3PL's ability to implement slotting, automation, or seasonal workforce plans to match growth.

eCommerce priorities include fast pick-and-pack cycles, returns handling, and consumer-grade tracking. B2B emphasizes bulk handling, pallet throughput, and scheduled deliveries. Prioritize WMS integration, SLAs, labor reliability, and carrier partnerships aligned to your order profile and channel mix.
