Request lane-specific transit data and sample TATs from prospective 3PLs, review connections to the M3 corridor and nearest border crossings, compare integrated parcel partners for D2C lanes, and validate SLA guarantees for priority and economy shipments to balance cost and service.

Insist on racked storage, configurable pick-face zones, secure returns processing, kitting/assembly and cross-dock capabilities, plus WMS with API or EDI for order orchestration. Check seasonal labor plans, temporary capacity options, and packaging/labeling flexibility.

Using Eger as a regional node can lower occupancy and labor costs, shorten inland hauls from border ports, enable closer proximity to key customer clusters, and reduce buffer stock through faster replenishment cycles—collectively lowering total landed cost.

Require clear metrics for on-time dispatch, order accuracy, inventory accuracy, pick productivity and returns turnaround. Ensure access to near-real-time WMS reporting, claims handling workflows, and agreed SLA remedies to monitor performance and protect service levels.
