Prioritize carrier connectivity, SKU velocity and storage flexibility, bonded/customs capability, WMS/OMS integration, SLA and KPI reporting, and cost-to-serve breakdowns (picking, storage, receiving). Also assess throughput capacity, labor models, and contingency plans for peak seasons.

Pricing varies by storage type (ambient, chilled, frozen), slotting density, handling fees, pick/pack rates, inbound receiving charges, and value-added services. Compare minimums, activity-based fees, and true cost-to-serve for each sales channel to forecast margins accurately.

Naxxar-based 3PLs often offer shorter door-to-port drayage, consolidated distribution lanes, and multiple local carrier contracts, which reduce transit times and enable competitive LTL and parcel pricing. Evaluate lane coverage and contract flexibility for your destinations.

Onboarding typically ranges from 4–12 weeks depending on system integration complexity, SKU setup, and process alignment. Plan for data mapping, test orders, inventory reconciliation, and a phased SLA ramp-up; allocate resources for training and acceptance testing.
