Prioritize WMS integration, dock-door count and configuration, racked versus bulk storage flexibility, cross-dock capability, and proven carrier connections. Confirm staffing levels, peak-season scalability, SLA definitions (order accuracy, TAT), and real-time reporting to match omnichannel throughput and B2B replenishment cadence.

Villa Hayes’ proximity to Asunción shortens first/last-mile legs; river access enables lower-cost bulk movements on the Paraguay waterway; and national highways provide road connectivity across Paraguay and into Mercosur. These factors let you choose between road-heavy express lanes and cost-efficient barge or intermodal options to balance speed and freight spend.

Negotiate transparent rate tables for storage tiers, pick-and-pack, inbound receiving and returns; minimums and surge pricing; billing cadence and reconciliation windows; fuel and accessorial rules; and KPI-based penalties or credits for on-time delivery, order accuracy and inventory integrity to preserve margin predictability.
