Evaluate proximity to Port Klang and expressways, average drayage times, dock density, storage types (ambient, chilled, bonded), IT/APIs for OMS/WMS integration, SLA metrics (pick-to-ship time, accuracy), inventory visibility, returns processing, and staffing flexibility during peak seasons.

Warehousing close to Port Klang lowers inland drayage, shortens door-to-door transit for imports/exports, enables faster container turnaround for replenishment, and reduces multimodal handoffs—collectively trimming landed cost and improving delivery predictability for SEA lanes.

Look for validated cold chain (segmented chambers, backup power), bonded warehouse licenses, controlled access and CCTV, inventory tracing with batch/lot tracking, SLA guarantees for temperature excursions, and documented QC procedures aligned with regulatory requirements.

Require a modern WMS with API/EDI connectivity to your OMS and carriers, real-time inventory visibility, automated shipping rate shopping, return management workflows, reporting/dashboards for KPIs, and the ability to scale throughput without manual reconciliation.
