Spend Management Software Solutions

GEP SMART is a unified, procurement software platform with end-to-end source-to-pay (S2P) capabilities, comprising comprehensive spend management tools, such as spend analysis, strategic sourcing, savings tracking, contract management, category management, supplier management, and procure-to-pay. With these spend management tools, GEP SMART automates all sourcing and procurement processes – from sourcing to payment.

GEP SMART spend management platform features a comprehensive sourcing functionality that can help enterprises engage with the right suppliers across spend categories to drive best-value deals aligned with strategic sourcing milestones. Using the e-sourcing function, users can collaborate across offices to evaluate suppliers, author RFPs, streamline RFx-to-award cycles, and execute sourcing events like e-auctions. Once the sourcing process is complete, GEP SMART allows you to quickly convert winning bids to negotiated contracts that buyers can use to make compliant purchases.

GEP SMART’s spend analysis function helps users identify savings opportunities and launch new savings projects. Users can establish estimated spend and savings targets, then define milestones based on when they expect to negotiate and realize those savings. Our spend management system includes a savings tracking functionality that allows users to build, track and manage their savings pipeline by collaborating with team members and stakeholders in real time. Users can also leverage our spend management platform’s savings dashboard, performance benchmarking and savings validation capabilities to manage their spend more effectively.
