Procurement leaders in cruising are facing new demands. Connectivity is a strategic lever for customer satisfaction, digital transformation, and long-term competitiveness. But outdated procurement models tied to satellite-only providers create more problems than they solve.
Hidden Costs. Complex Contracts. Poor Flexibility.
Satellite-heavy solutions often come with long-term lock-ins, unclear bandwidth pricing, and hidden charges. Billing based on fluctuating usage means unpredictable OPEX and budgeting headaches. Add to that multiple vendors for ports, ships, and routes, and procurement becomes a mess.
According to the Global Chief Procurement Officer Survey by Deloitte, over 70% of procurement leaders identified increased procurement-related risk and a need for more agility in contract structures.
