Strategic Sourcing Guide to Scanner Transparency Adapters Procurement

Overview

Several macro changes in the dynamics of overall Printing Machinery and Equipment as well as Scanner Transparency Adapters procurement trends are poised to change the business practices and procurement thumb rules. Many large and mid-sized companies, especially from legal, financial, healthcare and real estate sectors are still heavily reliant on paper. Off late, there is a growing concern on security of documents - whether printed or stored digitally on a connected printing device. To address this concern, suppliers are coming forward with solutions that offer print and document security and monitoring services.

Digital printing has made significant in-roads at the expense of offset printing owing to its benefits such as order flexibility, optimized stock handling, and minimization of time-to-market for printed content.

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.

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

Scanner Transparency Adapters Procurement Best Practices

The report discusses in detail the best practices that have served well the category managers responsible for Scanner Transparency Adapters procurement.

For example, 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.

Engage suppliers that can offer digital print outputs in different dimensions to help increase the visual appeal of printed materials. Service providers should be capable of offering a wide range of dimensional digital print outputs, such as pop-up cubes and multi-dimensional shapes that can expand, fold, and explode, as this increases the visual appeal of the printed product.

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.

Risks in Scanner Transparency Adapters procurement

Scanner Transparency Adapters procurement managers also need to proactively identify and mitigate potential risks that can arise in the supply chain or contracts for Scanner Transparency Adapters procurement. Some examples include:

Pricing terms in the contract could prove to be inadequate to safeguard the buyer from impact of a sudden increase in supplier's cost, often arising from a lack of clarity on scope of products or services to be delivered
Suppliers may face a situation where they are unable to honor a contract in its entirety due to shortage of resources, finances or capabilities. While contractual terms safeguard buyers from the non-performance, their operations could still face massive disruptions due to suppliers' non-performance
Suppliers depend on various third-party vendors for providing IT support, storage, and distribution of print materials and inputs. Any supply failure on third-party vendor's part may lead to inconsistency and delay in the supply of print materials to buyers. Moreover, these supply inconsistencies may compel suppliers to procure the product from other suppliers at the market price, which could be higher than the contract price. This result in an increase in procurement cost for suppliers
