The scope of Printed Products spans multiple categories and is typically identified as a procurement category that includes all spend related to the provision of printed products that may be required to carry out daily operations, promotional activities or special events. The spend may encompass books, booklets, brochures, leaflets, business stationery, cards, forms, labels, manuals, maps, pictures, publications, secure printing, tags, transfers and tickets.
Business practices within Notebooks market are heavily influenced by changing trends across the category as well as within the broader Printed Products market. Rapid digitization of workspace and work processes has significantly reduced the use of paper in corporate world and therefore, industry has seen a consistent decline of print volumes. Still, the term \"paperless office\" will take years to become a common phenomenon. Print is here to stay and will co-exist with the digital document solutions in a \"paper-light\" corporate world. High procurement costs put a hindrance for buyers looking for upgrading or replacing a printing asset. As an alternative, suppliers are offering cost-effective re-engineering capabilities such as retrofitting of existing equipment with new systems. Buyers prefer to engage suppliers whose offerings span beyond Notebooks. The practice brings in several advantages such as rationalization of supplier base, economies of scale and reduced category management cost. As a result, category managers need to closely monitor the Notebooks 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 Notebooks. To help quick decision making, this report advises on several procurement best practices that have worked well for category managers. For example, 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.Buyers must clearly define clauses pertaining to the ownership of subcontracted services that are not part of their service providers' portfolios. This is necessary to ensure service consistency and control over sensitive data that are shared with sub-contracted firms.Buyers prefer to engage with service providers that adopt hedging techniques to mitigate the effects of fluctuations in printing ink prices. The majority of printing inks are primarily derivatives of crude oil, the prices of which are highly volatile. Thus, engaging with service providers that adopt hedging will allow buyers to minimize the impact of price fluctuations pertaining to printing inks during the contract tenure.
