Codiligent LLC
This business recycles books. After acquiring used books by the truckload, the books are processed using sophisticated work-now management software that allows high volume throughput. Good quality books are listed on Amazon, eBay, Half.com, ABE, and Alibris. The remaining books are sold to recyclers. There is less than 1% waste created by the business.
This business is E-Commerce it: doesn't require a high-price location; doesn't have to be open on evenings and weekends; and has an international instead of a local market.
A high degree of systematization makes this business easy to learn & operate. The strong systems allow the business to hire low skilled easy to replace employees.
