The Evolution of Price Sourcing: From Hand Shakes to Clicks.

In the realm of commerce, the process of price sourcing has undergone a fascinating evolution over time. Let's take a trip down memory lane through its various stages and explore the present landscape of the equipment rental industry.

The Three Stages Evolution of Price Sourcing in B2B Space

1. Relationships Reign: It's all phone, friends, and neighborhood. In the days before the digital revolution, securing the best price required personal connections and relationships. A firm handshake, a shared cup of coffee, or a trust-filled conversation were the conduits through which deals were struck. The marketplace thrived on word of mouth and relied on the strength of interpersonal bonds. In this era, one's ability to negotiate hinges on their network and rapport with suppliers.

2. Rise of Search Engines: With the rise of search engines, such as Yahoo and Google, the dynamics of price sourcing shifted. The transition from personal connections to online searches brought about a new way of finding the best deals. People turned to their keyboards, typing their needs into search bars, and like clockwork, results appeared. The world had become digitally interconnected, and the art of the deal started to include algorithms and keywords.

3. Platform Revolution: The winds of change picked up momentum with the advent of powerful platforms and marketplaces. Names like Shopee, Lazada, and Booking.com entered the scene, redefining how consumers seek prices. These specialized platforms created a bridge between the customer and many options. Instead of relying on general search engines, users were drawn directly to platforms tailored to their specific needs. The concept of 'platformtize' took root, revolutionizing the process of price sourcing.

Where's the Equipment Rental Industry Now?

In today's landscape, the equipment rental industry finds itself standing at an intriguing crossroads. The price searching through search engines is taken over relationship reign for the past 5 years. Now, it is time for online sourcing equipment via website or social media giving its way to a new era defined by platforms and marketplaces. The shift from stage two to stage three is palpable. As consumers turn directly to specialized platforms for their equipment rental needs, the tides of change are evident.
