This could have an inflationary impact on buyer's procurement expenditure in the Construction Management Software market.

Construction Management Software Procurement Best Practices

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 Construction Management Software category procurement.

Buyers should engage with providers that offer mobile applications and online dashboards to monitor essential performance parameters of the products and services procured.

This increases the risk of overspending on Construction Management Software
An increase in the integration of IT systems is amplifying the risk of cyberattacks and theft of sensitive data
Suppliers may face a situation where they are unable to honor a contract in its entirety due to shortage of resources, finances or capabilities. While contractual terms safeguard buyers from the non-performance, their operations could still face massive disruptions due to suppliers' non-performance
