Strategic Sourcing Guide to Mystery Shopping Programme Procurement

Overview

A changing ecosystem within the Marketing market also affects the procurement process, cost dynamics and supplier attractiveness for the buyers of Mystery Shopping Programme. Price rise in certain essential assets and supplies required to deliver Mystery Shopping Programme is making a significant addition to the supplier's overall expenditure. This could have an inflationary impact on buyer's procurement expenditure in the Mystery Shopping Programme market.

In the broader industry, automated tools and advanced technology is making inroads and even replacing some of the non-core workforce of suppliers. As a result, overall cost structure of suppliers has become more favorable across the industry and buyers of Mystery Shopping Programme can expect to benefit from lower costs of suppliers once they break even with their investments in technology.

An intense competition in the supply market owing to new entrants is expected to provide more procurement options to buyers for Mystery Shopping Programme and offer significant negotiation leverage.

Mystery Shopping Programme 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 Mystery Shopping Programme. To help quick decision making, this report advises on several procurement best practices that have worked well for category managers.

For example, Buyers should engage with service providers that provide services through an hourly based pricing model. Within an hourly based pricing model, buyers would have a fair idea of the exact time required for the work done by service provider. Consequently, billing rates will be implemented accordingly.

Buyers should engage in long-term contracts with service providers to gain value additions and other benefits. Engaging in long-term contracts reduces the total cost of ownership, for buyers, for the service delivered.

Service providers often hire subcontractors to assist in certain aspects of a project. Buyers must ensure that subcontractors are bound by the same terms and conditions that main service providers adhere to. Buyers should also ensure that the project budget does not exceed while negotiating with subcontractors.

  • 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
