Prioritize infrastructure (racked capacity, temperature zones), SLA performance (picks, packing, same‑day cutoffs), integrations (WMS + OMS + carriers), cross‑dock capabilities, and labor scalability. Also evaluate proximity to the Port of Valencia and major highways for inbound/outbound cost efficiency.

Facilities in Valencia shorten ocean-to-door transit via the Port of Valencia and offer direct highway and rail routes to Madrid and Barcelona. This reduces drayage and inland transit times, often lowering landed cost versus northern Spain gateways for Mediterranean imports.

Look for ISO/OSHA standards, HACCP or GMP for food, GMP for pharma where needed, secure inventory controls, calibrated temperature monitoring for cold chain, and audit trails in WMS. These capabilities protect quality and simplify regulatory compliance.

Expect integrated regional LTL and TL carrier networks, scheduled rail services, consolidated ocean‑less‑than-container (LCL) workflows, and partnerships with last‑mile couriers. Evaluate carrier SLAs, lane coverage, and real‑time tracking to ensure consistent delivery performance.
