Prioritize measurable SLAs (order accuracy, on‑time dispatch), WMS/API compatibility, scalable storage and labor flexibility, cross‑dock and returns handling, and a demonstrable carrier network for reliable last‑mile delivery. Also verify security, insurance, and documented peak‑season staffing plans.

A Jezersko location typically reduces inland transit to central Europe via efficient road and rail corridors, lowering line‑haul rates and improving delivery windows. Lower facility and labor costs can reduce landed cost, but evaluate carrier tariffs, handling charges, and multi‑modal transfer costs in total landed cost models.

Require racked pallet storage, climate‑controlled zones if applicable, dedicated cross‑dock docks, real‑time WMS with EDI/API, barcode scanning, and lot/serial tracking. Insist on reporting for inventory turns, pick performance, and KPI dashboards for operational transparency.

Negotiate transparent fee schedules (storage, picks, handling), minimums and surge pricing, SLA credits tied to KPIs, liability and insurance limits, flexible terms for scaling footprint, and clearly defined onboarding/offboarding processes to protect inventory and continuity.
