Evaluate inbound/outbound transit times, yard and dock capacity, IT/ERP integration (WMS/APIs), SLA for pick/pack and returns, and value‑added service capabilities (kitting, labelling). Also assess labor availability, seasonal scalability, and clear KPIs for inventory accuracy and order cycle times.

Isparta typically offers lower land lease rates and reduced labour costs versus major coastal hubs, which can materially lower fixed and variable fulfillment spend. Savings depend on service level, automation needs, and transport distances to primary markets.

Primary considerations are trunk road connectivity to Antalya and western Anatolia, proximity to regional freight operators, access to refrigerated truck networks, and feasible transit times to national motorways for domestic and cross‑border road shipments.

Require scalable pick/pack capacity, flexible labour arrangements, overflow storage options, rapid onboarding for seasonal SKUs, robust WMS with peak‑period performance, and contingency plans for carrier delays and returns processing.

Define metrics such as on‑time delivery, transit variance, damage rates, and landed cost per SKU. Use carrier lane cost modeling, zone density analysis, and periodic audits to compare actual performance against contractual SLAs and adjust routing or carrier mix accordingly.
