Insights into the market price trends

What are the strategies to adopt to optimize procurement spend in this market?

Bundling of services

Buyers will benefit from engaging with service providers who provide one-stop solutions by bundling warehousing services with transportation and packaging services. This allows buyers to negotiate better on the price of services and reduce overall logistics costs and operational risks involved in coordinating with multiple vendors for different services.

Attain supply assurance

Buyers from the retail sector will face fluctuating demand for warehousing services because of factors such as seasonality of the demand for their products. To tackle such uncertainties, buyers must partner with warehousing service providers who have the requisite capacity to ensure supply for meeting their demand fluctuation requirements. This will also reduce the need to engage with multiple service providers in an ad-hoc manner, thereby reducing the overall procurement expenditure for buyers.
