It’s no secret that leading companies in the global banking, financial services and insurance (BFSI) sector are looking to operate more cost effectively and boost savings from their procurement and supply chain operations. Increasingly stringent regulatory requirements, shifting consumer behavior and changing competitive landscapes are putting BFSI enterprises under considerable pressure to manage associated costs and enhance the overall customer experience.
Digital transformation offers an answer — it creates opportunities to reduce costs, concentrate on innovation, and enhance customer centricity, while focusing on technology and cybersecurity. If you want to raise the bar and build a next-generation enterprise that can deliver impressive savings through the foreseeable future, GEP can help.
We selected GEP SMART … and we delivered P2P in seven months. The outcomes speak for themselves. Four-fold increase in savings … and a 50 percent reduction in the time it takes for us to process work. And that’s an indicator that it’s improving all the time.

Banking
It’s time for banks to move from analysis to action. In the post-reform environment, they must take on a new role to meet government, market and management expectations, boost their return on equity, and spur growth.
To revitalize growth, banks must adopt new strategies, embrace technology in a much more meaningful way, and leverage the value of outsourcing.
GEP can help. We have proven expertise to help banks achieve savings targets and accelerate returns on investments. Our team of banking sector experts can foster efficiencies through greater centralization, as the operations of most large banks are highly fragmented across geographies and business units. GEP addresses these challenges by:
- Focusing on core business processes
- Identifying critical versus non-critical spend
- Developing consistent data tracking
Procurement’s Role in Modern Banking
In the last decade, banks have started taking steps to become truly “digital.” With changing regulatory environments and growing expectations of tech-savvy customers, procurement must provide efficient category management of its major spend and better manage supplier risks, which will help the organization achieve savings, innovation, agility and flexibility.
