Prioritize: reliable order accuracy and inventory visibility, integration with your ecommerce and WMS systems, scalable storage and labor capacity, cold‑chain certifications for perishables, and transparent pricing for storage, picks, and transport. Assess SLAs for OTIF and returns handling, and verify carrier access for your primary lanes.

Proximity to Ruta 5 shortens road transit to Santiago and southern Chile, increases carrier density and route frequency, and reduces dependence on long feeder legs. That improves delivery windows, lowers transport cost per order, and simplifies scaling seasonal capacity for both domestic and export flows.

Top providers typically offer racked refrigerated storage, dedicated reefer docks, temperature monitoring and traceability, controlled atmosphere and MAP handling for produce, HACCP or equivalent quality programs, and coordinated export documentation and consolidation services to support seasonal throughput.

Negotiate clear unit rates for storage (per pallet/m2), receiving and putaway, pick‑and‑pack, packing materials, and outbound freight allocation. Define KPIs and penalties for order accuracy, OTIF, pick velocity, inventory reconciliation cadence, and agreed minimums to avoid hidden charges during volume fluctuations.
