Category teams are drowning in scattered insights, stale benchmarks and manual Excel tracking. The result is suboptimal strategies, missed savings and limited visibility into the changing dynamics that shape category outcomes.

GEP SMART centralizes category intelligence into a single, orchestrated ecosystem powered by GEP Qi. Specialized AI agents apply intelligence across spend, supplier performance and market signals to keep benchmarks current, surface opportunities early and prevent value leakage before it impacts your bottom line.

GEP’s solution will provide clear visibility into our category spend, to help us better identify savings opportunities across the enterprise and drive greater value to our organization.

We selected GEP software as an integral part of our overarching digitalization program to optimize our sourcing and procurement processes across the company and deliver greater value.

We have been very satisfied with the quality of services and GEP's procurement technology. Some of the key benefits are hugely improved compliance, flexibility in use, collaborative approach and increased savings.

We selected GEP SMART because it is intuitive and easy to use. It provides us with quick insights into our spend and supports end-to-end process transparency and compliance.

GEP’s Savings Project Management function provides a full life cycle view of the project from an ideation phase to the realisation phase, enabling CITGO to update the projected, negotiated and realized savings in each stage of the procurement process.
