Prioritize secure racking and staging, pick-and-pack accuracy, cross-dock capacity, real-time inventory visibility, and carrier integrations. Also evaluate SLA terms, lead times to key customers, local labor reliability, and the provider’s ability to scale storage and handling during seasonality.

Warehousing in Grand Gedeh can reduce landed cost through lower real estate and labor rates while shortening inland transit to adjacent markets. Actual savings depend on carrier access, consolidation frequency, and the distance to primary ports or retail clusters; plan for route optimization and scheduled feeder services.

Assess road and river connectivity, on-site loading docks, container handling capability, and partnerships with regional carriers. Check frequency of scheduled haulage, capabilities for palletized and LTL shipments, and customs/bonded storage options if cross-border movement is anticipated.

Track fill rate, order accuracy, on-time dispatch, warehouse lead time, and returns processing speed. Establish KPIs with financial incentives or penalties, require inventory visibility via APIs or portals, and audit fulfillment processes periodically to ensure SLA compliance.
