Prioritize multimodal connectivity, dock and staging capacity, WMS and integration capabilities (EDI/API), SLA guarantees for pick-and-pack and lead times, scalability of storage and labor, and value-added services such as kitting, returns management and light assembly. Also verify carrier networks and regional last-mile options.

Costs in Prahova are generally lower than central Bucharest due to reduced rent and labor rates. To reduce spend, negotiate:

• density-based storage pricing,
• banded throughput discounts,
• consolidation and cross-dock options to lower transport costs.

From Prahova you can expect efficient road transit to Bucharest and national markets via major highways, with direct carrier routes to principal seaports and airport connections. Rail forwarding options are available for bulk or consolidated flows; confirm scheduled departures and last-mile partners for accurate lead-time planning.

Verify ISO certifications or equivalents, bonded/brokerage capabilities if cross-border shipments are handled, HACCP for food if applicable, and a modern WMS with barcode scanning, inventory visibility, and API/EDI integrations. Confirm SLA metrics for inventory accuracy, order lead time, on-time ship rates and claims-handling procedures.
