Turn the proposal into a test
Evaluate Cart.com by separating required warehouse services from optional commerce tools, then compare the total operating cost.
Published fulfillment services
Define the pass conditions
Before scoring Cart.com, write down the outcomes you need from its commerce and logistics service. Separate requirements that must pass from preferences you can trade against price or convenience.
Which services and software modules are necessary for our scope, and which can be contracted separately? What sample, definition, and result would let us test the answer consistently?
Ask for a repeatable test
Use the same sample and definitions across candidates. Record the result, the evidence, and the unanswered items; do not award a score simply because a feature appears in a proposal.
Score total cost, not one fee
Hold order volume, stock levels, parcel mix, and destinations constant across quotes. Test low-volume and peak scenarios before scoring the total fulfillment cost.
