1What Procurement Can Learn From The Hotel Industry

2The hotel industry has gone through some major
changes in recent years. Not only has it had to
adapt to the Internet, but it has also had to
find ways to stay competitive in an environment
with increasing pressure from sources other than
traditional hotels.
Even though the changing landscape has presented
very real challenges for hotels across the entire
industry, the ones that have continued to thrive
share some key characteristics. Specifically, the
hotels that keep making progress are those that
have embraced what technology can do for them.
Although it would be easy to only view technology
in a negative light as a result of the additional
competition it has created, savvy hotels have
taken a different approach. Instead of trying to
resist the major ripples created by technology,
theyve found the best ways to harness the
technology thats available.

3Technology Can Play a Key Role in PROCUREMENT
Growth and Efficiency
Since technology is having a major impact across
most industries, those in procurement should take
a cue from the hotel industry and take advantage
of whats available. Specifically, PURCHASING
MANAGERS can gain a lot from using purchase order
software. With help from PURCHASING SOFTWARE,
procurement professionals will no longer need to
stress over things like enforcing budget
thresholds.
Instead, theyll have the tools that are needed
to make this process a breeze. The reality is
thats just one of numerous examples of the way
that the right software can help optimize
procurement activities. While this type of
software is very powerful, what makes it
especially compelling is that it can be used
without the need for IT support. And to top
things off, the cloud functionality of purchasing
software means that data is easy to access,
completely secure and backed up at all times.

4An Important Takeaway for Salespeople and
Customer Service
This isnt an issue thats only relevant to
procurement. Its also a topic that salespeople
and customer service can learn from. For
salespeople, the lesson is to keep an eye out for
ways to make the lives of prospects easier. By
actively looking for solutions instead of just
trying to sell a product, salespeople can frame
their offerings in a manner that is much more
compelling to purchasing managers and other
professionals within an organization.
The lesson for customer service is similar to
that of salespeople. When someone calls a
customer service representative, its generally
because they have a problem that needs to be
solved. Customer service professionals can get a
leg up by always having their eyes open for the
most efficient way to tackle problems. By being
open to even better ways of doing things, members
of the customer service team can make things
easier for themselves and others.
