Prioritize location relative to ports and highways, carrier connectivity, bonded/customs capabilities, WMS and API integration, inventory accuracy, SLA commitments for order cycle time, scalability for peaks, and transparent cost-to-serve reporting to compare true landed fulfillment costs.

Use metrics such as average pick/pack time per order, orders-per-hour, order-to-ship lead time, on-time carrier handoff, dimensional weight costs, storage density, and returns processing time. Request sample SKU runs and a TCO model that includes pick fees, storage, handling, and inbound/outbound freight assumptions.

B2B distributors benefit from proximity to Derince/Yarımca ports, short drayage to Istanbul markets, access to major highways (O‑4, D‑100), intermodal rail links, bonded yards for customs consolidation, and facilities equipped for palletized bulk handling and cross-dock operations.

Request API documentation and sandbox access, review real-time inventory sync SLAs, examine RMA and reverse-logistics workflows, validate peak staffing and contingency plans, ask for performance references, and negotiate trial periods or pilot projects to measure system accuracy and throughput.
