Several macro changes in the dynamics of overall Office Furniture, Fixtures and Fittings as well as Seating Furniture procurement trends are poised to change the business practices and procurement thumb rules. Outsourcing of Seating Furniture now represents a significant part of the global spend on this category, driven by value derived and a growing number of vendors who keep innovating with new services and value propositions. Several macro level trends such as slowing economic growth, trade conflicts, rising wages and technological disruptions have put pressure on managers to reduce their spend on Seating Furniture without affecting the performance. With advancement in technology, service providers are employing diverse tools in their operations to identify opportunities for optimization and greater collaboration with the customers. Category managers need to take note of the potential of these developments and reassess the changes required in their procurement practices.
The report discusses in detail the best practices that have served well the category managers responsible for Seating Furniture procurement. For example, Buyers require industry-specific services to effectively operate their production facilities. Thus, they should opt for service providers that can offer customization and bring in years of experience in serving the needs of that industry. Category managers must explore opportunities to integrate planning and management activities of categories using analytics, to gain better control over category spend. This will also allow them to consolidate their supply base easily, as well as to segment suppliers based on requirements and spend on each supplier. Buyers must clearly define clauses pertaining to the ownership of sub-contracting services that are not a part of their preferred suppliers' portfolios. This will ensure consistency in the services of sub-contracted firms as well as protection of confidential data.
