Prioritize transit-time maps, proximity to trunk highways and ports, warehouse configuration (clear height, racking, dock count), WMS/API integration, SLA reporting, and carrier pools. Also assess scalability for peak volume, labor availability, onboarding timelines, and true landed-cost scenarios including last-mile surcharges.

A Potenza-based 3PL can reduce linehaul and last-mile transit times to southern regions and nearby ports, enabling consolidation and lower LTL costs. Expect improved routing to Mediterranean export lanes and potential savings from lower warehousing rent and labor, balanced against any additional inland pickup distances for northern destinations.

• WMS with real-time inventory, API/EDI integrations, and SKU-level reporting
• Flexible pick-and-pack, kitting, and returns processing
• Scalable labor models, cross-dock and temperature-controlled areas

Yes. Multi-client facilities spread fixed costs across tenants, lowering per-SKU storage and order costs. Expect fee components for receiving, storage (per pallet or cubic meter), pick/pack, outbound freight handling, and monthly minimums; negotiate visibility on hidden fees and defined SLAs to align with your service targets.

Verify weekly lane coverage, booked transit times for key corridors, carrier partners and tender acceptance rates, intermodal options, linehaul frequency, dock appointment systems, and claims handling. Ask for historic on-time performance, transit-time variances, and average dwell time at the facility.
