Strategic Sourcing Guide to Event Facilities Procurement

Overview

Several macro changes in the dynamics of overall Business Travel Accommodation as well as Event Facilities procurement trends are poised to change the business practices and procurement thumb rules. With regional and national boundaries blurring in today's corporate world, companies increasingly find themselves with a latent need to bring together geographically distant teams, customers and stakeholders. Therefore, the demand outlook for Event Facilities is expected to remain strong.

As costs rise, companies will be pushed towards finding better cost efficiencies in their travel and entertainment programs. Buyers are leveraging new management tools to analyze the costs using a Total cost of trip/event approach as against cost of an individual trip/event cost item. It is now also expected of suppliers to assess the cost effectiveness of any service they provide from a more holistic point of view.

The availability of advanced technologies has prompted travel and event service suppliers to heavily invest in them to improve efficiencies and customer experience. However, most have learnt that technology alone is not a replacement for the human touch when it comes to customer service. As a result, suppliers are spending on both counts - technology and customer service staff. Till the time a formula for perfect balance between the two is discovered, buyers should expect to bear some of this increased OPEX of suppliers.

Category managers need to take note of the potential of these developments and reassess the changes required in their procurement practices.

Event Facilities Procurement Best Practices

The report discusses in detail the best practices that have served well the category managers responsible for Event Facilities procurement.

For example, Investing in benchmarking studies help category managers enhance their knowledge about market pricing or billing rates based on job roles and functions. This allows them to not only save costs but also negotiate with suppliers. For example, while negotiating on rates of bundled services, buyers can save significantly on a single service by cross verifying the rates quoted by suppliers against industry benchmarks.

Large organizations seek engagement with global category suppliers. However, they must try to achieve the right blend of regional and global suppliers in order to ensure availability of management services at locations where global players do not have necessary capabilities.

Engage with suppliers that use technologies, such as SMMPs and holograms, to enable buyers to track expenditure and save on travel costs. This will significantly reduce overheads for buyers.
