Strategic Sourcing Guide to Drawing Boards Procurement

Overview

Several macro changes in the dynamics of overall Office Supplies as well as Drawing Boards procurement trends are poised to change the business practices and procurement thumb rules. Offices in large corporations and organizations generate a lot of solid waste every day. Many organizations are now adopting practices to reduce their environmental footprint. In line with these aspirations, demand for recyclable office solutions and supplies is increasing. Parcel/courier packaging, stationery, small equipment and consumables are either being recycled or being manufactured with recycled materials.

Service providers are incurring incremental expenditure on technology with the procurement and operation of advanced technologies and software to improve efficiencies and better serve the customers. Increasing technology-related expenditure is expected to have an inflationary impact on the procurement price offered to the buyers.

Recent advances in information technology and online commerce have allowed buyers to increasingly utilize e-auctioning as a mechanism to reduce costs across the value chain. E-auctioning allows buyers to reduce the procurement lead times, increase their supplier base and connect with sellers and intermediaries simultaneously.

Category managers need to take note of the potential of these developments and reassess the changes required in their procurement practices.
