Case Study: a global hospitality service provider achieves better spend visibility and compliance with GEP SMART

Leading Hotels Chain Boosts Spend Visibility And Compliance With Gep Smart

The customer, a leading hotels chain, is a global hospitality provider with a franchise-based model, which limited its ability to enforce spending compliance and gain visibility into group-wide procurement. To drive savings and improve supplier relationships, they partnered with vendor GEP Nexxe to implement the GEP SMART spend management platform.

GEP Nexxe deployed its SMART software, which was fine-tuned to incorporate the client's complex business rules and existing sourcing templates. The solution provided complete spend visibility, enhanced data analysis capabilities, and improved reporting. This resulted in increased compliance from franchisees, maximized value from suppliers, and a significantly improved ability to negotiate the best deals and drive savings.
