Strategic Sourcing Guide to Unmanned Aerial Vehicles / Drones Procurement

Overview

Several macro changes in the dynamics of overall Purchase as well as Unmanned Aerial Vehicles / Drones procurement trends are poised to change the business practices and procurement thumb rules. 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.

Many suppliers are reeling under pressure from a lack of sufficiently trained manpower in enough numbers.

The market has undergone several structural changes including M&As and vertical integration efforts of suppliers. This has resulted in some issues such as erosion of previously established supplier relationships but has also opened new opportunities to onboard new suppliers with a wider range of offerings in .

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

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles / Drones Procurement Best Practices

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles / Drones procurement best practices are moving towards a level of sophistication which is typically seen in traditional procurement categories. Category managers now have an attractive opportunity to adapt the best practices seen within this category as well as those being leveraged in other non-related categories. This report summarizes the best practices picked from across multiple categories that could work well for category managers involved with Unmanned Aerial Vehicles / Drones procurement strategy.

For example, 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.

Performing regular preventative maintenance for the assets will help buyers achieve productivity and profitability. Moreover, performing preventive maintenance from time-to-time will help buyers sustain a highly operational fleet, which will reduce operation-related costs for buyers/service providers. Ineffective preventive maintenance will drive the additional cost incurred by buyers and increase in downtime of the fleets.

Buyers should evaluate service providers ability to innovate and reduce carbon emissions from traditional fuel-based vehicles, without compromising on cost and quality aspects.
