The scope of Office Furniture, Fixtures and Fittings spans multiple categories and is typically identified as a procurement category that includes all spend related to the provision of furniture and fixtures and fittings for use within office, sales, production, storage, reception, workstation, meeting, training, boardroom, and waiting room areas, but does not include spend on office machines or equipment.
A changing ecosystem within the Office Furniture, Fixtures and Fittings market also affects the procurement process, cost dynamics and supplier attractiveness for the buyers of Conference Tables. Suppliers are shedding the category expert tag and moving up the value chain to offer an integrated approach to their services. With this new approach, suppliers can offer a wide portfolio of services and position themselves for large contracts that go beyond just Conference Tables.Suppliers have historically gained handsome margin-on-margin by sub-contracting a part of their work to another contractor. However, Buyers are now delving deep into the business models of suppliers and negotiating hard to avoid further sub-contracting. In cases where it is imperative to sub-contract, category managers are employing should-cost models to keep supplier margins on sub-contracting to the minimal.A balanced approach to procurement of Conference Tables has emerged, where buyers with multiple locations first outsource at individual locations and gradually move to standardize and consolidate the services across facilities.
As market conditions become more dynamic and procurement practices get more sophisticated, category managers need to be cognizant of the best practices that work for their Conference Tables category procurement. The report offers a succinct analysis of Conference Tables procurement best practices. For example, Investing in benchmarking studies that help category managers enhance their knowledge on pricing or billing rates of suppliers allows them to not only save costs, but also negotiate better with suppliers. For example, while negotiating for bundled services, they can save significantly on a single service by cross-verifying rates quoted by suppliers against industry benchmarks. Category managers must explore opportunities to integrate planning and management activities of categories using analytics, to gain better control over category spend. This will also allow them to consolidate their supply base easily, as well as to segment suppliers based on requirements and spend on each supplier. Buyers require industry-specific services to effectively operate their production facilities. Thus, they should opt for service providers that can offer customization and bring in years of experience in serving the needs of that industry.
