GEP SWAP
"
A complete AI-native rebuild of the platform that promises deeper integration, a more intuitive customer experience, and end-to-end agentic orchestration.
The announcement confirms a capability gap the legacy vendor can no longer conceal: its current architecture cannot natively support agentic AI. As of late 2025, only one AI use case existed in the platform. The rest are on your vendor's roadmap for later quarters of 2026 — meaning enterprises evaluating your current platform's AI story today are evaluating a promise, not a working product. GEP Qi is that working product.
GEP Qi is operational. Your current vendor's Next-Gen is promised.
That gap is costing you now.
FOUR GAPS
YOU SHOULD KNOW
Four reasons procurement leaders are making the SwAP now — not after the next roadmap update.
An AI assistant. One use case.
Surfaces data. Summarizes. Answers questions. One live use case as of late 2025 — the rest is roadmap.
An AI orchestrator.
GEP Qi initiates, routes, approves, and closes — across your full source-to-pay lifecycle. It acts. Not advises.
Requires their full stack.
Full AI capability requires their proprietary integration platform and a specific ERP version. Intake management? Outsourced to a third party — different company, different platform.
Works with what you have.
Any ERP. Hybrid environments. No transformation required. Just procurement AI — running.
"Free upgrade." Check the add-on bill.
Advanced AI is metered separately — billed per unit, above a minimum threshold, on top of existing licensing. The cost of AI scales with usage. That bill arrives after you've already committed.
No meter. No surprises.
You know what you're paying before you sign. No consumption meter. No compounding invoice.
Optimizes for their ecosystem.
Every architecture decision serves platform coherence first. Your procurement outcomes are filtered through what's best for the vendor.
Optimizes for you.
One platform. One purpose: better procurement outcomes. There's only one lens in the room.
