Strategic Sourcing Guide to Environmental Health & Safety Software Procurement

Overview

Business practices within Environmental Health & Safety Software market are heavily influenced by changing trends across the category as well as within the broader End User Software and Hardware market. Buyers are showing an inclination to onboard suppliers whose offerings span beyond Environmental Health & Safety Software. The practice brings in several advantages such as rationalization of supplier base, economies of scale and reduced category management cost.

The cut-throat competition in the category is compelling suppliers to go aggressive on their pricing structure and increase their spend on sales and marketing activities. As a result, most suppliers are feeling a pressure on their margins and trying to offer higher margin value added services to have a better control on their profitability.

In a bid to differentiate themselves in an overcrowded technology space, suppliers are now focusing on creating industry-specific specialized products. Buyers see this trend as an opportunity to procure more targeted solutions and are developing internal capabilities to identify and leverage innovations in the supplier base.

As a result, category managers need to closely monitor the Environmental Health & Safety Software procurement trends and identify changes required in their procurement environment for the category.

Environmental Health & Safety Software Procurement Best Practices

The report discusses in detail the best practices that have served well the category managers responsible for Environmental Health & Safety Software procurement.

For example, Procurement functions should develop custom processes to gain better visibility and involve Environmental Health & Safety Software suppliers early in the procurement process.

Investing in benchmarking studies not only helps category managers to improve their knowledge about market pricing or billing rates but also in negotiating with suppliers. In fact, this holds true for all technology procurement sub-categories.

Buyers must clearly define clauses pertaining to the ownership of subcontracting services that are not a part of preferred suppliers' portfolios. Subcontractors should be bound by the same terms and conditions as the main contractor to ensure consistency in quality and manage any adverse event such as data breach.
