​Is my parcel cost savings business a good idea?

Hi all,

I’m currently a logistics procurement specialist at a leading pharmaceutical business that shall remain unnamed. My speciality is conducting parcel, road, and air analysis in EMEA to discover areas we can save costs, and communicating as well as negotiating with suppliers to realize these cost savings through contracts whilst maintaining similar levels of service.

I’m looking to start a business outsourcing these services to businesses in the UK and Europe, particularly in the e-commerce and B2B space. I’m planning to offer a number of initial Parcel Audits & Analysis on the house to test if this will be as impactful to UK and European SMB’s as I believe it could be. I suspect there is a huge amount of money left on the table by many SMB’s who don’t have the time or skills to identify and extract these cost savings from parcel logistics suppliers.

I would essentially be an outsourced parcel procurement specialist for SMB’s who don’t already have a team in house. I think it’s a valuable service but would love your thoughts. Looking for all feedback. Positive or negative!

Thanks
