A: Focus on fill rates, on-time delivery, picking accuracy, and WMS adoption to gauge how efficiently the operation runs. Q: Can inventory be financed with the acquisition? A: Yes, inventory is often financed as part of the purchase through working-capital facilities or inventory-specific lines. Supply dependability, margin discipline, and logistics execution are core. Look at customer concentration, vendor terms and rebates, inventory turns, and on-time performance. Value-added services like kitting or private label can lift margins and retention.
