Evaluate throughput capacity, order accuracy SLAs, pick-and-pack speeds, returns processing, and specialized handling (temperature control, bulky items). Also confirm WMS/API integration, inventory visibility, insurance and liability terms, and scalable labor models to match demand peaks.

Proximity to the Port of Piraeus and Athens International Airport reduces inland drayage and transit time, lowering landed costs and enabling faster restock cycles. Faster inbound access improves safety stock planning and shortens lead times for both sea- and air-forwarded SKUs.

Expect modern racking and material handling, bonded areas for customs processing, temperature-controlled zones, EDI/API integrations, quality inspection, kitting/assembly, and compliance certifications relevant to your goods (e.g., HACCP for food, GDP for pharmaceuticals).

Use demand segmentation to place fast-moving SKUs closer to urban centers, leverage bonded storage to delay duties, consolidate cross-border flows at the port for deconsolidation, and employ periodic reviews of fulfillment zones and carrier contracts to trim transit and handling spend.
