Prioritize real-time inventory visibility (WMS/API), proven pick-and-pack and returns workflows, bonded storage if cross-border shipments apply, scalability for peak seasons, and SLA-backed outbound lead times. Also evaluate cross-dock capacity and local carrier integrations to ensure last‑mile flexibility.

Rabat’s road and rail links to Casablanca and Tangier corridors, plus airport handling, let shippers route via different gateways to optimize cost and transit. This enables flexible carrier mixes—ocean consolidators, express couriers, and domestic carriers—so you can trade off speed versus cost by lane.

Key components include monthly storage per pallet or sqm, inbound receiving and putaway fees, per-pick and packing fees, minimums, return processing charges, and customs handling. Negotiate volume discounts, fuel and seasonal surcharges, and transparent billing cycles tied to agreed KPIs.

Request API/EDI documentation, sandbox access, and examples of prior integrations with marketplaces and ERPs. Validate real-time inventory sync, exception reporting, SLA dashboards, and onboarding timelines. Pilot a controlled volume test to confirm data accuracy, throughput, and support responsiveness.
