Prioritize transit times to your customer base, inventory accuracy (WMS capabilities), minimum order quantities, pick/pack pricing model, and SLA for returns. Also confirm availability of temperature‑controlled zones if required and integrations with your OMS and major carriers for real‑time tracking.

Carrier access in Nayarit affects routing options—strong highway links reduce domestic drayage, regional port access enables sea consolidation, and feeder services can cut export lead times. Efficient multimodal routing lowers landed cost per unit by optimizing mode selection against delivery deadlines.

Verify available square footage for surge storage, modular racking, cold‑chain capacity and monitoring, rapid inbound/outbound cross‑dock lanes, and staffing flexibility. Check disaster contingency plans for coastal weather and documented procedures for product traceability and quarantine handling.

Compare occupancy and handling rates, inbound receiving and putaway fees, pick/pack and fulfillment fees, storage tiering (racked vs bulk), and value‑added service charges. Also evaluate carrier discounts, fuel surcharges, and minimum monthly commitments that affect effective unit economics.

Assess WMS features (lot/serial tracking, batch control), API availability for OMS/ERP/cart integration, EDI support for B2B customers, reporting and KPIs, and the provider’s roadmap for automation. Request references and a live integration test to validate real‑time inventory and order flows.
