Evaluate WMS functionality (real-time inventory, API/EDI), SLA metrics (pick/pack accuracy, order cycle time), handling capabilities (cold chain, hazardous, kitting), throughput capacity, and value-added services (returns processing, custom packaging). Also assess carrier integrations and last-mile options to meet delivery promises.

Proximity to Antalya Airport and Mediterranean ports shortens international lanes and provides multimodal routing; road access reduces domestic transit times to southern and western metros. These factors lower truck kilometers, reduce fuel and carrier surcharges, and enable faster consolidation for export shipments.

Compare landed facility rent, labor wage rates, utility costs, handling equipment availability, inbound/outbound transport tariffs, minimum billing volumes, and value-added fees. Factor in inventory carrying costs from differing lead times and the cost impact of zone-skipping or cross-docking strategies.

Yes. Many facilities provide dedicated cold-chain storage with temperature monitoring, HACCP-compliant handling, and rapid order fulfillment for perishable goods. When selecting a provider, verify temperature range controls, contingency plans for power outages, and traceability for lot control and recalls.
