Strategic Sourcing Guide to Diaries Or Personal Organisers Procurement

Overview

Printed Products market around the world is undergoing rapid transitions that have a massive potential to influence the way companies strategize for Diaries Or Personal Organisers procurement and the cost they have to incur. The category is expected to experience a moderate price rise resulting from increasing investment in technologies and automation by commercial printing companies, but long-term price outlook remains positive for buyers as suppliers are expected to recover the technological investments soon.

Suppliers expect an increase in OPEX from rising prices of paper and ink which has resulted from rising input costs and to some extent, from shortening supply. Still, declining use of paper and intense competition will offset this incremental cost.

Many large and mid-sized companies, especially from legal, financial, healthcare and real estate sectors are still heavily reliant on paper. Off late, there is a growing concern on security of documents - whether printed or stored digitally on a connected printing device. To address this concern, suppliers are coming forward with solutions that offer print and document security and monitoring services.

Diaries Or Personal Organisers 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 Diaries Or Personal Organisers. To help quick decision making, this report advises on several procurement best practices that have worked well for category managers.

For example, Buyers should assess factors such as their overall printing requirements, quality of prints required, and need to repeat orders. Such information can be used to take a decision on choosing between a domestic service provider or an offshore service provider based in a low-cost country. Buyers can also choose to attain a balance between offshoring and domestic engagement to optimize their cost-saving opportunities.

Buyers should compare critical capabilities of suppliers based on security policies regarding materials provided, types of printers used, print color guarantees and TAT and onboard those that can offer a one-stop solution.

Personalization of posters, cards, and messages have a high impact on end-consumers during marketing campaigns and therefore, preferred suppliers must have the capabilities to offer personalization in digital printing.

Risks in Diaries Or Personal Organisers procurement

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

Suppliers depend on various third-party vendors for providing IT support, storage, and distribution of print materials and inputs. Any supply failure on third-party vendor's part may lead to inconsistency and delay in the supply of print materials to buyers. Moreover, these supply inconsistencies may compel suppliers to procure the product from other suppliers at the market price, which could be higher than the contract price. This result in an increase in procurement cost for suppliers
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
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
