Evaluate port and road proximity, throughput and pick accuracy metrics, WMS and OMS integration capability, SLA terms for order cycle time and returns handling, scalability for peak seasons, security and compliance, and visibility into inventory and shipment tracking.

Primary cost drivers include storage density and cube utilization, labor rates and productivity, order profile (pieces per order), value‑added services (kitting, labeling), inbound/outbound transportation costs, and any temperature‑controlled or hazardous handling requirements.

Placing inventory in Pacasmayo shortens transit to northern regional markets and provides nearer access to coastal freight routes, enabling faster replenishment for local customers. Carrier density and multimodal links influence last‑mile coverage; confirm carrier partnerships and cross‑dock capabilities to optimize national lanes.

Require a proven WMS with OMS integrations, secure racking and FIFO/LIFO controls, temperature‑controlled storage where needed, traceability and lot control, appropriate insurance and regulatory certifications (as applicable), and transparent reporting for KPIs and inventory reconciliation.
