Evaluate dock and trailer capacity, racking type and slotting flexibility, cold chain certification for perishables, and bonded status for export. Confirm carrier integrations (national and regional), EDI/WMS connectivity, SLA for pick‑and‑pack, and demonstrated performance on lead times and pallet turn rates.

Misiones often offers lower land and labor costs versus primary hubs, which can reduce fixed facility expenditure and handling rates. However, evaluate carrier density and transit time tradeoffs—savings on occupancy may be offset by longer trunking distances unless the 3PL optimizes consolidation and routing.

Prioritize temperature control if SKUs are perishable, bonded storage for cross‑border or export inventory, high dock throughput for peak season scalability, and a cloud WMS with carrier and marketplace integrations for omnichannel order routing, split shipments, and return processing.
