Pipeline Procurement Intelligence Reports

  Commercial Print Services   Procurement Intelligence In this commercial print services procurement intelligence report, we have estimated the pricing of the key cost components. Printing equipment, toner & supplies, and paper form the largest cost component of the commercial printing businesses. Together, they account for more than 70-75% of the total cost. The cost also depends on the type of printing method deployed and the scale of printing operations.  For instance, consider an organization prints 4,000 pages each month, 30% of which are in color, and run the printer for 2 years. Then, they will print 96,000 pages. On an average, a printer yields 7,000 black prints per cartridge and 5,000 color prints per cartridge. Thus, the organization will need 14 black and 18 color cartridges during a printer’s lifetime. Hence the cost of black and color cartridges will be around USD 630 and USD 1,080 respectively. Generally, a case of 8 reams of paper containing 4,000 shee...

  Business Intelligence   Procurement Intelligence In this business intelligence procurement intelligence report, we have estimated the pricing of the key cost components. TCO and licensing make up the majority of the cost, which typically cost USD 4,000 minimum. An annual average of USD 2,400 is spent on support. The pricing structures for on-premises implementations vary greatly. For instance, employing hybrid models based on combinations of user counts, server counts, and disc capacities, or by storage capacity, RAM capacity, or rack (an appliance). An example of a small system would be one with 100GB of data, 50+ users, and daily or weekly updates. An example of a medium system would be one with 1TB, 200+ users, and daily updates. An example of a large system would be one with 10TB, 1,000+ users, and daily or intra-day updates. The starting price for an on-premises system from a large provider is roughly USD 100,000. For small, medium, and big configurations, reasonable (d...

  Corn Starch   Procurement Intelligence In this corn procurement intelligence report, we have estimated the pricing of the key cost components. Land, seeds, and transportation cost form the largest cost component of corn category implementation. Land account for 60-65% of the total cost. Seeds are a significant cost component in the corn market, as they are a seed-propagated crop. The cost of seeds varies based on variety, seed quality, and market conditions. Transportation is another significant cost component, as corn is a bulky crop that can be expensive to transport. The cost of transportation depends on distance, mode, and market conditions. Throughout the first quarter of 2023, total landed expenses for shipping corn through the Gulf route were USD 389 per metric ton (mt). The total transportation cost was USD 132.00 per metric ton for shipping corn through ocean from Minneapolis to Japan in the last quarter of 2022.

  Clinical Research Organizations   Procurement Intelligence In this clinical research organization intelligence report, we have estimated the pricing of the key cost components. The cost of CROs can vary depending on the specific services offered and the scope of the trial. However, some of the most common cost components like cost of hiring staff, purchasing equipment, developing software, cost of data management, site monitoring, and regulatory compliance. The cost of CROs is also influenced by several factors, including the size and complexity of the trial, the number of sites involved, regulatory requirements, patient population, specific services offered, geographic location, technology use, experience, and quality of the CRO. For instance, larger and more complex trials require more resources, time, and money, while trials with multiple sites require more management and monitoring. Rare diseases or patient populations with special needs also increase the cost of CROs. T...

  Artificial Intelligence   Procurement Intelligence Pricing and cost analysis is a process that helps organizations derive and forecast the real cost of products or services over a specified period of time. This analysis takes into account every cost component, and also gives a competitive advantage when negotiating with suppliers by helping organizations understand the true cost of goods and services. Additionally, the outcome of pricing and cost analysis can help procurement leaders understand the detailed cost drivers in a particular category. In this artificial intelligence procurement intelligence report, we have estimated the pricing of major cost components. Data processing & management, hardware, labor, and software form the biggest cost component of artificial intelligence implementation. Further, the cost is dependent on the type of data available, the complexity of problem being solved. For example, in developing an AI-based solution, prototype development cost...

  Rental Cars   Procurement Intelligence In this rental cars procurement intelligence report, we have estimated the pricing of the key cost components. Asset depreciation, fuel, accident insurance, and maintenance form the largest cost component of car rental businesses. Together, they account for more than 80% of the total cost. The cost also depends on the type of vehicle such as sedans, SUVs, or compact cars. For instance, a lifecycle analysis of a typical fleet sedan with an annual mileage of 20,000, an interest rate of 2.8%, and a depreciation rate of 2.25% shows that the cost per mile bottoms out at 48 months, with a value of USD 0.329. This is the optimal time to cycle the vehicles as the cost per mile will start to increase after this point.   Further, the application such as local usage, airport transport, or outstation use also determines the price of the car rental service. When examining airport rental locations, the results were generally consistent with the ...
