"When it comes to office supplies, there are a few strategies to consider when both quality and price are important."
A buyer seeks out suppliers to obtain a product whose price and quality are defined. Cost is rarely the deciding factor in purchasing decisions. Concerns about the products or service's quality, on the other hand are frequently important in making a final decision. Here is how you can save and opt for quality with price while purchasing for your company.
Procurement When Price Matters:
Special offers, discounts, and promotional events
Keep an eye out for discounts and promotional events whenever possible to get the most money's worth while saving money.
Cutting down delivery costs
By ordering in bulk or planning your monthly supplies and ordering wisely, you can cut down on delivery times and costs. Ordering in bulk not only saves you money on shipping but also helps you negotiate better prices with your vendor.
E-Procurement’s gaining traction
By eliminating duplicate spending, taking advantage of volume buying discounts, and avoiding the costs of running a manual, paper-based system, organizations can save money with an automated E-Procurement process.
Office Supplies of Generic Brands
For indirect procurement such as office supplies, generic brands are preferred over branded ones. These brands perform similarly to their branded counterparts while being significantly less expensive. For items such as desk organizers and writing supplies.
Procurement When Quality Matters:
Delivery on time
The supplier’s promise for on-time delivery, and the method of safely delivering the products you've ordered says a lot about the service quality of your supplier. When it comes to choosing a supplier, price and product quality aren't the only considerations.
Quality service by the supplier
In this case, the amount of time it takes a supplier to complete a job is genetically determined, with higher quality resulting in higher costs. Working with a reputable procurement partner who keeps their end of the bargain can be the difference between success and failure. As a result, a good supplier's accountability for quality issues is at the top of the list of qualities to look for.
The similarity in objectives
When we talk about objectives, it's critical that your procurement partner, understands your procurement goals, for example, the types of businesses they generally work with, flexibility towards minimum order quantity (MOQ), how well they know your industry, how detailed is their quote as well as the ability to tailor the quotes according to specific requirements. These factors frequently supersede price when choosing a partner.
One of the most difficult and stressful aspects of product sourcing is finding a supplier. Finding a supplier who is easy to work with and will deliver the best product possible is critical.
