For example, Large organizations are optimizing category spend by eliminating tail-spend service providers and engaging with a single service provider to meet buyers' needs.

However, if global suppliers do not have an operational presence in a specified country, buyers should engage with local/regional service providers.

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.

Engage suppliers that have adopted a high degree of automation in their business model. Automation of supplier's operations can offer benefits such as decrease in operational costs, reduction in the need for manual labor, lower chances of operational errors and optimized use of space.
