Require order accuracy, on-time-in-full (OTIF), average order cycle time, dock-to-stock lead time, picks per hour and labor productivity, inventory accuracy from cycle counts, and cost-per-order metrics. Also evaluate incident response times, returns processing speed, and system uptime for WMS integrations.

Location in Trebnje shortens road transit to key markets in Slovenia, Croatia, and surrounding Central European countries, improving frequency and decreasing transportation cost. Close access to national carriers and regional terminals enables faster consolidation, more reliable LTL and FTL schedules, and simplified routing for cross-border lanes.

Prioritize facilities with configurable racking and slotting, separate returns processing and inspection areas, cold-chain options if needed, automated sortation or pick-to-light for high-SKU counts, and the ability to perform kitting, labeling, and multi-channel order routing. Confirm WMS features and API/EDI connectivity for omnichannel visibility.

Model storage by pallet or cubic meter, handling and pick/pack fees, inbound receiving and QC charges, minimums and throughput commitments, value-added service costs, local labor rates, and transportation to primary lanes. Include seasonal density, inventory turnover, and potential dwell fees to compare true landed cost across providers.
