Strategic Sourcing Guide to Mobile Apps Procurement

Overview

End User Software and Hardware market around the world is undergoing rapid transitions that have a massive potential to influence the way companies strategize for Mobile Apps procurement and the cost they have to incur. Rise in the cost of certain essential assets and supplies required to deliver Mobile Apps is making a significant addition to the supplier's overall expenditure. This could have an inflationary impact on buyer's procurement expenditure in the Mobile Apps market.

Global market is facing a shortage of professionals with requisite 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 buyer's procurement cost.

The cut-throat competition in the category is compelling suppliers to go aggressive on their pricing structure and increase their spend on sales and marketing activities. As a result, most suppliers are feeling a pressure on their margins and trying to offer higher margin value added services to have a better control on their profitability.

Mobile Apps Procurement Best Practices

It has become imperative for category managers to remain as agile as possible in terms of their procurement practices. However, it is not always easy to quickly spot and implement alternative practices in a category like Mobile Apps. To help quick decision making, this report advises on several procurement best practices that have worked well for category managers.

For example, Buyers should ask for a detailed account of the data protection capabilities of the supplier. In addition, buyers should also enquire regarding the redundancies available during instances of outages or disruptions. While some providers can provide backup, others may have limited capabilities in hardware redundancy.

Category managers must explore opportunities to integrate planning and management activities using analytics to gain better control over category spend. This will also allow them to consolidate supply base easily as well as segment service providers depending on requirements and spend on each service provider.

Developing a strong understanding of the potential vulnerabilities of service providers can help buyers limit their potential losses and also gives the bargaining power to demand services from more robust measures in the SLA.

Risks in Mobile Apps procurement

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


  • When requirements of the buyers are not absolutely clear or usage patterns are not stable or predictable, suppliers often build in \"cost buffers\" for unforeseen risks due to a lack of complete understanding on buyer's requirements. This increases the risk of overspending on Mobile Apps
  • An increase in the integration of IT systems is amplifying the risk of cyberattacks and theft of sensitive data
  • Privacy regulations regarding the information gathered, used, and exchanged by service providers vary across regions. This increases the risk of non-compliance, which can lead to the payment of hefty fines and penalties
