Prioritize proximity to the Port of Santander, direct access to major A‑roads and rail interchanges, sufficient dock doors and trailer marshalling, and a dense last‑mile carrier network. Confirm carrier lane coverage for your top SKUs and peak capacity plans to ensure reliable cutoffs and transit times.

Compare per pallet position, handling rates, and labor wage levels versus transport spend to/from your customer base. A lower warehouse rent can be offset by higher transport miles; run cost‑per‑order and time‑to‑customer models to balance storage, pick/pack, and last‑mile costs.

Key KPIs: order accuracy, on‑time dispatch, pick rate, dock‑to‑stock time, and inventory shrink. Technology: real‑time WMS visibility, API/EDI connectivity to your OMS, reporting dashboards, and integration with your carriers and TMS for end‑to‑end tracking.

Confirm bonded warehouse status, on‑site customs brokerage support, experienced documentation handling for exports/imports, and services for VAT/entry processing. Proximity to port and streamlined customs processes reduce dwell time and demurrage risk.
