Evaluate warehouse footprint, racking and climate control, WMS integration and reporting, pick-and-pack throughput, accuracy rates, returns handling, and SLA-backed carrier dispatch windows. Also assess cross-docking ability, security, and on-site staffing flexibility to scale by season.

Bayankhongor’s road linkages to central population centers influence carrier run frequencies and fuel/linehaul costs. Shorter pick-up windows and consolidated lanes reduce per-shipment rates; however, seasonal conditions and limited intermodal nodes can affect reliability and require contingency planning.

Critical features include racking density, dedicated packing stations, temperature-controlled storage, real-time WMS with EDI/API, inventory accuracy, and value-added services (kitting, labeling). These drive pick productivity, reduce errors, and lower holding and fulfillment costs.

Compare transparent fee structures, minimums, inventory carrying and handling rates, peak-season scalability, onboarding timelines, technology compatibility, KPIs for OTIF and accuracy, and references from similar verticals to forecast cost-to-serve and growth alignment.
