Strategic Sourcing Guide to Free-Steered Vehicles Procurement

Overview

Business practices within Free-Steered Vehicles market are heavily influenced by changing trends across the category as well as within the broader Engineering Products and Equipment market. Suppliers are continuously taking efforts to improve efficiencies and productivity and deploying processes and technologies. Some of these investments are likely to increase their costs in the shorter term, but learnings from other sectors keep the suppliers optimistic about a lean cost structure in the longer run.

Suppliers of Free-Steered Vehicles are moving up the value chain - both organically as well as through M&As. Their portfolios are increasingly being diversified with the objective of offering integrated solutions that go beyond just Free-Steered Vehicles. Even buyers are engaging vendors who can act as a one-stop solution provider across their geographic footprint. Such strategic engagements can help buyers with savings associated with economies of scale and management of a much smaller supplier base.

Markets across the globe are reeling under shortage of professionals and workforce that have relevant skills and training. Minimum wages and stringent regulations are compelling suppliers to increase their employee expenses which are expected to have an inflationary impact on buyers' procurement cost.

As a result, category managers need to closely monitor the Free-Steered Vehicles procurement trends and identify changes required in their procurement environment for the category.

Free-Steered Vehicles Procurement Best Practices

Sometimes, procurement functions are unable to timely alter their practices while responding to market conditions. Industry experts acknowledge that periodically reviewing procurement best practices and adopting learnings from across procurement categories can help procurement teams respond to market needs in a more agile way. This report combines our experience of other categories with Free-Steered Vehicles procurement insights and hand picks best practices that can work for category managers delving in this market.

For example, Buyers should invest in benchmarking studies that help category managers to improve their knowledge on market pricing or billing rates of service providers. This helps them to not only save costs but also increase their negotiation power.

Buyers need to evaluate the in-depth expertise of suppliers in the Free-Steered Vehicles industry. This can be assessed by considering factors such as the years of experience, number of resources that have multi-year experience of working in the same industry and at least 3 to 5 credentials for the supplier.

Buyers should engage with suppliers that repurchase used products at fair market value. This assists buyers to dispose of used products in a convenient manner. Also, during such repurchases, suppliers provide credits to buyers for future purchases. This reduces overall procurement costs for buyers.

Risks in Free-Steered Vehicles procurement

Free-Steered Vehicles procurement managers also need to proactively identify and mitigate potential risks that can arise in the supply chain or contracts for Free-Steered Vehicles procurement. Some examples include:


  • With changing technologies, the manufacturing, packaging and labelling requirements have become more stringent than ever across geographies globally. RFID tags, temperature sensors, and barcode scanners, have become common requirements across the category. There is also an increase in the adoption of technologies such as AI and IoT. Therefore, suppliers incur excessive costs to keep upgrading their technology and to ensure maintenance of these technologies across various stages of the product category
  • Procurement without consulting the actual users of Free-Steered Vehicles may result in a mismatch in expectations of the buyer's internal stakeholders versus the actual contract executed
  • Pricing terms in the contract could prove to be inadequate to safeguard the buyer from impact of a sudden increase in supplier's cost, often arising from a lack of clarity on scope of products or services to be delivered
