Prioritize transit footprint (proximity to A2 and major distribution corridors), throughput metrics (orders/hour, pick accuracy), WMS and API integrations, returns handling, and flexible capacity for peaks. Also evaluate SLAs for cutoffs, carrier partnerships for domestic and EU lanes, and labor availability for seasonal surges.

Strong motorway and intermodal rail links lower overland transit times and enable consolidated shipments, reducing per‑unit transport costs for cross‑border lanes. Air cargo options from Poznań shorten transit for urgent SKUs, while dense carrier networks improve LTL frequency and distribution reliability across EU destinations.

Model fixed and variable warehousing charges (space, handling), pick-and-pack labor rates, inbound receiving and putaway, storage density and pallet velocity, order processing fees, returns and reverse-logistics costs, and estimated transportation spend by lane to understand total cost-to-serve.
