Prioritize proximity to major motorways and rail links, WMS integration and EDI capability, SLA performance for pick/pack and cutoffs, value‑added service capability (kitting, returns), warehouse racking and temperature control options, and transparent cost structures including inbound/outbound handling and storage tiers.

A Borovnica location shortens road transits to Ljubljana and provides efficient drayage to the Port of Koper, expanding carrier mixes for road, rail, and sea. This typically reduces last‑mile transit within Slovenia and improves gateway access for shipments into Italy, Austria, and downstream EU networks.

Require a modern WMS with real‑time inventory visibility, API/EDI integrations for marketplaces and carriers, scalable labor models for peak seasons, clear SLA metrics for order accuracy and same/next‑day cutoffs, and documented processes for returns and reverse logistics.

Negotiate clear unit rates for receiving, storage (by tier), pick/pack, and outbound; define minimum monthly volumes and overage terms; include performance incentives or penalties tied to SLAs; clarify fuel surcharges and accessorials; and request transparent reporting on inventory days and throughput to monitor cost drivers.
