Evaluate dock door counts and throughput, yard depth for trailers, racking and clear height for SKU density, WMS functionality and integrations (EDI/API), proximity to major highways and carriers, cross‑dock capability, and customs/FTA handling if importing. Also validate local labor availability and peak‑season scalability.

Hato Mayor's road access toward central and eastern markets reduces inland transit times and allows shorter last‑mile runs to tourism and urban hubs. Proximity to regional ports and airports enables consolidated inbound shipments and multi‑modal routing, improving pickup frequency and SLA adherence for both B2B and eCommerce channels.

Look for pick‑and‑pack with batch optimization, kitting and light assembly, returns processing and refurbishment, cross‑dock and transload services, real‑time WMS with inventory visibility, API integrations for carriers and marketplaces, and defined SLAs for accuracy, throughput, and on‑time dispatch.

Compare storage (per pallet/CBM), receiving and putaway fees, pick/pack per order or per line rates, box and packaging costs, outbound freight pass‑throughs, minimums, labor uplift during peaks, and value‑added service pricing. Model total cost per order across expected order profiles and seasonal peaks to assess scalability.
