Strategic Sourcing Guide to Warehouse Layout And Consulting Services Procurement

Overview

Business practices within Warehouse Layout And Consulting Services market are heavily influenced by changing trends across the category as well as within the broader Consultancy market. The market is rapidly showing signs of a great divide - at one extreme is a low-cost market with almost commoditized services and at the other end is the market for high cost specialized services. Warehouse Layout And Consulting Services vendors are adopting starkly different business models and cost structures in an effort to address both the markets.

There are only a handful of \"Tier 1\" vendors in the Warehouse Layout And Consulting Services market and they have traditionally enjoyed a premium in their pricing. However, Tier 2 suppliers are giving them a tough competition now as they can provide similar services at a lower cost. Many tier 2 suppliers achieve this parity by finding right talent at a relatively lower cost and maintaining lean operations without any frills.

Traditionally, clients were charged on per diem basis for Warehouse Layout And Consulting Services. However, rising pressure from clients to decrease pricing has resulted into an alternative pricing model of value-oriented billing where supplier's remuneration is linked to the performance or outcome of the project.

As a result, category managers need to closely monitor the Warehouse Layout And Consulting Services procurement trends and identify changes required in their procurement environment for the category.

Warehouse Layout And Consulting Services Procurement Best Practices

The report discusses in detail the best practices that have served well the category managers responsible for Warehouse Layout And Consulting Services procurement.
