Prioritize a 3PL with a robust WMS and TMS integration, clear SLA metrics, scalable racking and dock capacity, sufficient ceiling height for pallet racking, and segregation for value‑added services (kitting, returns). Verify automation options, inventory accuracy KPIs, and real-time reporting to support mixed eCommerce and B2B order profiles.

Langfang’s position between Beijing and Tianjin shortens drayage to ports and airports, reducing transit time to coastal export hubs and national distribution centers. Proximity to expressways and rail terminals lowers last‑mile cost and gives more carrier options, enabling competitive LTL and parcel rates and improved lead-time reliability.

Compare per-pallet or per-cubic-meter storage rates, inbound/outbound handling fees, labor and overtime policies, minimums, utility and value‑add charges, and billing cadence. Multi-client sites often offer lower fixed cost but less customization; dedicated facilities provide control at higher capex/lease commitments.

Require real-time inventory synchronization, batch and single-order picking, same-day cutoffs, efficient returns triage, and direct parcel carrier integrations. Confirm capabilities for kitting, labeling, temperature control if needed, and clear SLAs for order accuracy and time-to-ship to maintain omnichannel service levels.
