Evaluate dock count and yard capacity, racking and storage density, temperature-control if required, WMS and API integration, SLA metrics (pick accuracy, lead times), labor skill availability, and scalability for peak season. Also confirm carrier pools, cross-dock capability, and real-time inventory visibility to meet omnichannel requirements.

Placing inventory in Chaiyaphum typically reduces landed storage costs while keeping transit to Bangkok within a day for many carriers due to direct highway access. For northeastern provinces it shortens last-mile legs and supports consolidation for LTL shipments, lowering per-unit transport costs and improving replenishment cadence.

Prioritize returns processing workflows, fast pick-and-pack throughput, WMS-driven order routing, integrated carrier connectivity for same-day/next-day options, and value-added services like kitting and light assembly. Confirm SLAs for order cutoffs, peak scalability, and real-time reporting to support inventory accuracy across channels.
