Strategic Sourcing Guide to Countertop & Cabinet Installation Procurement

Overview

Business practices within Countertop & Cabinet Installation market are heavily influenced by changing trends across the category as well as within the broader Office Furniture, Fixtures and Fittings market. A balanced approach to procurement of Countertop & Cabinet Installation has emerged, where buyers with multiple locations first outsource at individual locations and gradually move to standardize and consolidate the services across facilities.

Countertop & Cabinet Installation 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 Countertop & Cabinet Installation procurement insights and hand picks best practices that can work for category managers delving in this market.

For example, Buyers must ensure the participation and collaboration of all related cross-functional teams (procurement, electrical, engineering, and housekeeping) in category management and planning activities. This is crucial, as these teams will be the primary end-users of the services offered by suppliers, and this step will ensure consistency in services.

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.

Risks in Countertop & Cabinet Installation procurement

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


  • Irregular inspections of facilities and installations can lead to the failure of electrical and maintenance-related equipment. This leads to downtime and interrupts the day-to-day operations of the buyers, thereby resulting in huge losses
  • 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 Countertop & Cabinet Installation
  • Contract-related risks where unfavorable credit terms may severly penalize buyers for delayed payments or entitle the supplier to demand pre-payments or shorten the payment terms are not very common in the category but they do exist in certain situations where buyers' liquidity or financial health is in question
