Case Study: a large gas distributor achieves 3% savings with GEP Nexxe

Large Gas Distributor - Customer Case Study

The customer, a large gas distributor and pioneer in India's city gas distribution business, faced challenges with supplier retention due to low volumes and reactive procurement practices as it pursued an aggressive expansion plan. The company engaged GEP Nexxe for its category management expertise to help address this supply-demand mismatch.

GEP Nexxe implemented a comprehensive category management initiative, which included a supplier landscape assessment framework and improvements to strategic sourcing and tendering processes. This solution enabled the client to rationalize its contractor base from nine to three suppliers and streamline its operations. The project resulted in an additional 3 percent in savings and a reduction in source-to-pay cycle times.
