Common network partner questions.
Why would you add more services to your logistics business?
Many courier companies, particularly delivery service providers, tend to have one or two major clients. This can be a vulnerable position for a business if that client goes bust or changes provider.
Other couriers only concentrate on a same day service. This may be because they do not have access to the carrier accounts, technology and infrastructure to expand into next day, international and fulfilment services.
Adding diversification of clients and services creates stability, reduces vulnerability, and increases the saleability and value of your business. Diversifying from same day services will also level out seasonality, as next day, international and eCommerce fulfilment all having different focus points. This can provide a revenue boost that is also more constant and set you up with the tools to match your aspirations for growth through sales.
Finally, adding more services will future proof your business. It can prevent your business from obsolescence with new emerging technologies, such as drones, and allow you to thrive by adapting to market changes, for example, the continuing rise of eCommerce. It also mitigates against the risk of substantial changes in the status of self-employed drivers, the impact of which will decrease profit in this element of your business.
What additional services could I add to diversify my business?
There are a number of areas you can expand upon and move into. With a fleet of vans in place and premises, adding next day and international parcels is a good next step. You can also expand your same day services with a mix of local and national contracts. There is also the growing market of eCommerce storage fulfilment and a selection of other bespoke solutions, like outsourced warehousing and distribution.
