Strategic Sourcing Guide to Embossed Or Perforated Printing Paper Procurement

Overview

The market for Office Supplies and its sub-segments such as Embossed Or Perforated Printing Paper are at an interesting intersection. Recent advances in information technology and online commerce have allowed buyers to increasingly utilize e-auctioning as a mechanism to reduce costs across the value chain.

Service providers are incurring incremental expenditure on technology with the procurement and operation of advanced technologies and software to improve efficiencies and better serve the customers. Increasing technology-related expenditure is expected to have an inflationary impact on the procurement price offered to the buyers.

Many suppliers have begun to use various online media platforms such as social networking sites and mobile applications to expand their digital presence. It is because digital marketing helps suppliers reach target audience in a cost-effective manner. Also, as most of the leading suppliers of the market have invested in online commerce, digital marketing also helps generate online sales and create brand loyalty. Benefits of digital marketing are making suppliers invest in digital marketing solutions.

Trends like these and many others discussed in this report are necessitating a relook at the way Embossed Or Perforated Printing Paper is procured and the procurement cost saving opportunities that exist.
