How can I convince the boss to outsource logistics? We do very hard work in-house, but in order to be competitive, we need a higher income. But he sees outsourcing as a waste of money.

You don’t have to convince your boss, you have to convince yourself first. Go through the business case and determine if that is in fact true first. If it’s true, then it will most likely sell itself.

Just remember to factor in some yearly increases for the supplier. Once it’s done, it is hard to go back or change suppliers.

Outsourcing your logistics can be a great way to increase efficiency and reduce costs without sacrificing quality. By outsourcing, you can take advantage of lower labor costs, newer technology, and quicker turnaround times. You also benefit from greater flexibility in dealing with seasonal increases or changes in product demand. You need to explain that to your boss

Have you heard of Flexe for small scale, DHL supply chain for large scale

Compare your own WH vs outsourcing
Main points could be: labor costs, leadtime, automation of current manual processes, additional services (rework, etc) + IT costs.
And compare inbound&outbound increase for the last two years to make a point that with the growth expected, you can't handle logistics internally anymore.

Hi all, recently in touch by Spotify recruiter for a Sec Engineer position for remote EU and was told that range was 60-80 out of base salary and equity. Had 2 years of security experience out of my 4 years. Was also told that there is no bonus scheme or no sign in bonus 😕 Not sure how I feel about this tbh.
