Evaluate on these operational and commercial criteria:

Expect primary highway access via I‑15 enabling efficient routing to Southern California ports and southwestern markets, regional LTL and parcel coverage, and access to nearby intermodal railheads for longer-haul moves. Evaluate specific carrier lane density and scheduling to confirm transit-time objectives.

Require a modern WMS with real-time inventory, integration APIs, barcode/RFID capability, and reporting. Track KPIs such as order accuracy, orders per hour, on-time shipments, dock-to-stock velocity, and return-processing cycle time to benchmark performance.

Cedar City generally offers lower real-estate and labor costs, reducing storage and handling rates. Trade-offs include slightly longer transit to some coastal consumers; however, improved inland proximity to western markets and cheaper occupancy often offset added transport cost. Model landed cost by SKU and lane to decide.
