GET FREE SAMPLEEcosystem of the global Strategic Sourcing Services category is intertwined with the larger parent market of BPO Services. Our category definition describes that overall BPO Services market includes all costs related to Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) Services that cannot be categorized under a category specific BPO classification. If the contract involves working in a 'business-as-usual' function which has been outsourced then the spend should also be recorded in this category.
Business practices within Strategic Sourcing Services market are heavily influenced by changing trends across the category as well as within the broader BPO Services market. New locations and vendors are emerging as cost effective suppliers of Strategic Sourcing Services, offering an opportunity to widen the supplier base and gain further negotiation leverage with incumbent suppliers. Lack of skilled in-house manpower continues to be the largest factor for hiring of Strategic Sourcing Services. Many suppliers are investing in automation technologies such as AI, robotics, machine learning and big data to optimize their business operations and offer new services to their customers. However, a part of this investment is also passed to buyers in the form of high prices being charged for value added services. As a result, category managers need to closely monitor the Strategic Sourcing Services procurement trends and identify changes required in their procurement environment for the category.
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 Strategic Sourcing Services. To help quick decision making, this report advises on several procurement best practices that have worked well for category managers. For example, Investing in benchmarking studies help category managers improve their knowledge on market pricing or billing rates of suppliers by job role and function. This also allows them to save costs as well as negotiate better with service providers.Buyers should engage with service providers that provide AFA in their pricing as negotiating on an hourly basis can increase the procurement cost of buyers due to overruns within lawsuits. AFA also provides buyers with cost predictability, certainty, and transparency.Buyers should set a baseline against which the performance of suppliers can be benchmarked along with setting measurable/quantifiable KPIs. Defined KPIs provides suppliers with clarity on the scope. Besides setting standards for operations, pricing, and performance, KPIs must provide tangible goals in terms of the quality of solutions.
