Prioritize WMS compatibility and API integration for order orchestration, measurable SLA and KPIs for pick/pack and shipping accuracy, dock and staging capacity for peak demand, cold chain if required, and transparent pricing structures that include handling, storage tiers, and minimums.

Najran’s southern location reduces overland miles to nearby southern markets, lowering freight costs and transit time for regional distribution. Carrier access is improving via regional highways and the local airport, enabling combinations of road and air for time-sensitive lanes.

Look for validated cold-chain rooms with temperature monitoring and alarms, segregated storage for regulated goods, documented handling SOPs, export/bonded capability if cross-border movement is needed, and audit-friendly traceability within the WMS.

Compare base storage rates (per pallet/CBM), inbound receiving charges, pick-and-pack and kitting fees, returns handling, minimum monthly charges, accessorials (palletization, labeling), and freight contracts or carrier pass-throughs to calculate per-order and per-SKU landed cost.
