Strategic Sourcing Guide to Towing Equipment Procurement

Overview

Several macro changes in the dynamics of overall Purchase as well as Towing Equipment procurement trends are poised to change the business practices and procurement thumb rules. Telematics has found excellent adoption rates the world over and its adoption is only expected to grow more. This is creating challenges for category managers in aligning the specifications to the use of preferred telematics solutions as well as extending procurement activities to this new but still less understood category of products and services.

Traditionally procurement functions had a greater say in deciding the specifics of orders. However, recent trends indicate that all departments of a company, even drivers are included in the decision making and feedback loop. This creates opportunities to benefit for cross learnings but also increases the co-ordination and conflict management tasks of category managers.

Regulatory changes are taking place more frequently and, in some cases, randomly. It is getting difficult to align procurement with all the new regulations, especially when category managers are responsible for multiple regions with different regulations.

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

Towing Equipment Procurement Best Practices

As market conditions become more dynamic and procurement practices get more sophisticated, category managers need to be cognizant of the best practices that work for their Towing Equipment category procurement. The report offers a succinct analysis of Towing Equipment procurement best practices.

Vehicle replacement cycles is a mechanism used to calculate maintenance and depreciation-related costs associated with a vehicle. Service providers perform such calculations on behalf of buyers. Vehicle replacement cycles enable end-users to follow safety measures and minimize operating costs. These are calculated after a certain mileage or specific years of use. Furthermore, buyers should engage with service providers that offer analysis with respect to fuel consumed as well as provide maintenance and repair services.
