Business practices within Lightship Services market are heavily influenced by changing trends across the category as well as within the broader Transportation Support Services market.

Technological advancements are enabling providers of Lightship Services to leverage a diverse set of tools and identify resource and cost optimization opportunities in collaboration with the customers. As a result, category managers need to closely monitor the Lightship Services procurement trends and identify changes required in their procurement environment for the category.
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 Lightship Services. To help quick decision making, this report advises on several procurement best practices that have worked well for category managers. For example, There are increased exposure risks of confidential data such as product and service information, operations, and customer information when engaging a third-party supplier. Buyers must engage with suppliers that use encryption technologies, password protection, access control solutions, and proper training schedules to prevent possible information breach.Large organizations are optimizing category spend by eliminating tail-spend service providers and engaging with a single service provider to meet buyers' needs. Buyers generally prefer to engage with preferred global suppliers. However, if global suppliers do not have an operational presence in a specified country, buyers should engage with local/regional service providers.Competitive bidding as a cost optimization tool is extremely potent but should be carefully deployed only when there is no significant differentiation among Lightship Services suppliers.
