Prioritize order accuracy, on-time shipping rate, average pick-and-pack cycle time, and inventory accuracy. Also evaluate WMS integration options, real-time inventory visibility, SLA penalty terms, and the 3PL’s ability to handle peak volumes and returns processing while supporting kitting or multi-SKU bundles.

Locating in Ljubno shortens overland transit to neighboring markets and provides access to regional carrier networks, reducing last-mile and regional transit variability. Evaluate the 3PL’s carrier mix, customs knowledge for cross-border shipments, and consolidated distribution options to optimize transit times and costs.

Require high-clearance racking, wide dock doors with levelers, dedicated pallet storage, secure staging lanes for outbound FTL/LTL, and equipment for both pallet and piece picking. Confirm available forklift fleet, cross-dock capacity and segregated staging for mixed-case B2B orders.

Look for a modern WMS with API connectivity to marketplaces, ERP and TMS, support for inventory synchronization, real-time order routing, and reporting. Confirm EDI or API options for order feeds, automated label generation, and cloud-based dashboards for KPI tracking and exception management.
