Prioritize transit times to target markets, WMS/OMS integration, dock and handling capacity, available temperature-controlled or bonded space, SLA definitions (pick/pack, cutoffs, shipping windows), labor scalability, security/compliance, and transparent KPI reporting for returns and reverse-logistics.

Access to national highways, rail freight corridors, and Bagdogra air cargo lowers transit times and enables modal optimization (air/LTL/FTL). This reduces landed costs for time-sensitive goods, improves reliability for scheduled B2B deliveries, and allows 3PLs to offer consolidated or cross-dock solutions that cut last-mile spend.

Require adjustable racking systems, mezzanine capacity, sufficient dock doors, modular pick zones, scalable labor pools, real-time WMS with slotting, and overflow options for short-term storage. Cold-chain capacity and bonded yard availability are important for seasonal perishables and import inventory.

Yes. Bonded and temperature-controlled spaces are available and should be evaluated for compliance needs, inventory-holding costs, and SKU requirements. Use bonded storage for import parity or delayed duty payments; use temperature control for pharmaceuticals, perishables, and seasonally sensitive items to maintain service levels.
