Strategic Sourcing Guide to Digital Mapping Services Procurement

Overview

Business practices within Digital Mapping Services market are heavily influenced by changing trends across the category as well as within the broader Technical Services market. 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.

Suppliers are introducing self-service tools such as virtual agents in their customer service ecosystem to reduce the time and costs incurred by customers to resolve an issue.

Lack of skilled in-house manpower continues to be the largest factor for hiring of Digital Mapping Services.

As a result, category managers need to closely monitor the Digital Mapping Services procurement trends and identify changes required in their procurement environment for the category.

Digital Mapping Services Procurement Best Practices

Digital Mapping Services procurement best practices are moving towards a level of sophistication which is typically seen in traditional procurement categories. Category managers now have an attractive opportunity to adapt the best practices seen within this category as well as those being leveraged in other non-related categories. This report summarizes the best practices picked from across multiple categories that could work well for category managers involved with Digital Mapping Services procurement strategy.

For example, Category managers must ensure that they have clearly identified and listed down potential negotiation levers to maximize the value of their category spend before entering into contract-related discussions with service providers. Common negotiation levers to maximize value include deadlines, terms related to payments, (including fees, expenses, and payment timelines) and assistance required from the buyer's organization.

Adequate RFP response time should be built in for prospective suppliers to enable them understand the scope and performance requirements.

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.
