Strategic Sourcing Guide to Swimming Pool Equipment & Supplies Procurement

Overview

Several macro changes in the dynamics of overall Learning and Development Materials as well as Swimming Pool Equipment & Supplies procurement trends are poised to change the business practices and procurement thumb rules. Buyers are moving towards longer contract durations with suppliers of Swimming Pool Equipment & Supplies to benefit from value-based discounts, integrated products and services, lower renewal cost and lesser expenses on contracting activities.

Suppliers are disrupting traditional business models with new offerings and terms. These disruptions are also necessitating buyers to relook their procurement practices and standards with respect to supplier selection and price benchmarking activities.

The global industry has seen a gradual increase in labor cost due to several factors, such as shortage of a trained workforce, increase in minimum wages, regulations around employee benefits and declining appeal for what have been traditionally called unskilled jobs. As the employee expenses increase, suppliers are compelled to pass some of this increase to their buyers by charging higher prices.

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

Swimming Pool Equipment & Supplies Procurement Best Practices

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 Swimming Pool Equipment & Supplies. To help quick decision making, this report advises on several procurement best practices that have worked well for category managers.

For example, Large organizational buyers can leverage their scale of operations to initiate competitive bidding between suppliers. Competitive bidding would enable buyers to have a better visibility of the market prices and may help identify suppliers that offer the most competitive price offering viz-a-viz other players.

Strong R&D focus is the sign of a supplier committed to enhancing the quality and cost proposition of its solutions. Buyers should collaborate with such suppliers for development of low-cost but highly efficiency products that can bring their OPEX down.

Buyers need to evaluate the in-depth expertise of suppliers in the Swimming Pool Equipment & Supplies industry. This can be assessed by considering factors such as the years of experience, number of resources that have multi-year experience of working in the same industry and at least 3 to 5 credentials for the supplier.
