Lack of Early Delay Alerts (% of parcels at risk without proactive monitoring)
* Many businesses only discover late deliveries when customers complain. Procure Partners continuously monitors parcel statuses and generates “risk flags” for shipments likely to miss SLA. Those flags enable your customer support to take fast, preventive steps — for example, sending a proactive message to the buyer with an updated ETA, offering an alternative option, or pre-authorising a partial solution — all before the customer posts a complaint or requests a full refund. In practice this reduces the number of refund cases, lowers negative review incidence, and cuts support handling time.
Potential annual savings:

Calculated as:
% of parcels at risk × average cost per case × annual parcel volume
Parcel Carrier Overcharging on Invoices (% of invoices)
* Many businesses need to manually check carrier invoices line by line, and system errors often go unnoticed. Procure Partners has built-in capabilities to automatically detect overcharges and ensure you only pay the correct rates.
* Industry benchmarks suggest that shipping invoices contain errors or hidden overcharges in the range of 5–10%. For calculation purposes, this tool applies an average assumption of 7%, unless you specify otherwise.

Calculated as:
Monthly parcel spend × % of invoices overcharged × 12 months
Parcel & Courier Service
SLA Failures (% of orders not meeting SLA)
* Industry experience shows that without collective bargaining power, 3PL SLA failures affect around 3–5% of orders. In practice, smaller businesses rarely receive compensation, as SLA enforcement is weak without scale. Procure Partners negotiates collective SLAs and ensures accountability.
Potential annual savings:
£ 0.00
Calculated as:
Annual order volume × % of SLA failures × average cost per failed order
Staff Time Communicating with 3PL (hours/month)
* On average, small and mid-sized e-commerce businesses spend 10–20 hours per month on calls, emails, and escalations with 3PL providers. With Procure Partners, integrated reporting and SLA monitoring reduce this time significantly, freeing up your team for value-adding work.
Potential annual savings:
£ 0.00
Calculated as:
Hours per month × average staff hourly cost × 12 months
Warehouse Error Rate (% of orders)
* Industry benchmarks show warehouse error rates at 2–3% of orders for SMBs. Without collective SLAs, compensation is rare. Procure Partners enforces accountability to reduce these costs.
Potential annual savings:
£ 0.00
Calculated as:
Annual order volume × % of warehouse errors × average cost per error
Cost of Resolving Warehouse Errors (£/month)
* Industry benchmarks show the cost of resolving a single warehouse error (reshipment, support time, refund) averages £15–20 per order. The calculator multiplies this by your error rate to estimate total monthly cost.
Potential annual savings:
£ 0.00
Calculated as:
Monthly order volume × % of warehouse errors × average cost per error × 12 months
Overcharging on Invoices (% of invoices)
* Industry audits suggest 3PL invoices include hidden overcharges in the range of 5–10%. These often go undetected because businesses lack the time or tools to validate charges line by line. Procure Partners provides invoice accuracy monitoring to automatically flag and recover these errors.
Potential annual savings:
£ 0.00
Calculated as:
Monthly 3PL & warehousing spend × % of invoices overcharged × 12 months
3PL & Warehousing
Incorrect Packaging Used (% of shipments)
* Industry benchmarks show that 10–15% of e-commerce shipments use oversized or incorrect packaging, driving up both packaging material costs and shipping fees. Procure Partners help with the packaging audits to reduce this waste.
Potential annual savings:
£ 0.00
Calculated as:
Monthly packaging spend × % of incorrect packaging × 12 months
Right-Sizing Audit Result (% of units mispacked)
*Benchmark studies show that around 8–10% of individual units are mispacked — for example, too much filler, unnecessarily heavy cardboard, or incorrect slotting in multi-packs. These errors increase packaging costs, slow down fulfilment, and raise the risk of damages. Procure Partners includes packaging right-sizing audits to identify and reduce such inefficiencies.
Potential annual savings:
£ 0.00
Calculated as:
Monthly packaging spend × % of mispacked units × 12 months

Customer Support Time on Order Issues (hours/month)
*Industry experience shows that small and mid-sized e-commerce teams spend 15–25 hours per month resolving order issues (late deliveries, lost parcels, warehouse errors). The calculator applies your input and converts it into cost based on average support hourly rates.
Potential annual savings:
£ 0.00
Calculated as:
Hours per month × average support hourly cost × 12 months
Estimated Cost of Lost Productivity (£/month)
*Research suggests that inefficiencies in parcel, packaging, and 3PL processes cost small and mid-sized businesses the equivalent of 5–8% of monthly overheads in lost productivity. The calculator applies a default assumption (e.g. 6%) unless you specify otherwise.
Potential annual savings:
