Assess WMS integration, pick/pack accuracy, SLA performance, and facility specs (ceiling height, dock count, temperature control). Review carrier connectivity, returns handling, onboarding timelines, and unit economics (cost per pick, storage rates). Request references and operational KPIs for comparable clients.

Blekinge provides port access for short-sea routes, direct road links to the E22 corridor, and rail connections to southern Sweden and Öresund. This lowers inland transit times and last-mile costs while offering more competitive warehouse rents and a focused regional labor pool.

Negotiate inventory accuracy targets, order lead times, on-time delivery rates, chargeback rules, and defined onboarding milestones. Include audit rights, data-sharing (WMS/EDI), breach penalties, and a review cadence to align cost predictability with service performance.

Confirm the 3PL's customs broker relationships, experience with export/import documentation, and use of bonded or duty-paid storage if needed. Request sample transit times, proof of EDI or shipment tracking integration, and evidence of prior cross-border shipments to Denmark and EU markets.
