Case Study: Leading Utility Solutions Company achieves 12% procurement savings through post-merger synergies with GEP

Global leader in Utility solutions Achieves 12% Procurement Savings through Post-merger Synergie

A global leader in utility solutions faced a post‑merger challenge: decentralized procurement across $1.8 billion of direct and indirect spend, inconsistent source‑to‑pay processes and no clear strategy to capture synergies, which limited efficiency, visibility and accountability.

GEP performed spend and supplier analysis, designed a future‑state S2P operating model, standardized taxonomy and contracts, established procurement governance, ran change management and delivered a CPO KPI dashboard. The initiative produced 12% annual savings on addressable spend, streamlined operations, increased accountability and is projected to deliver an 8–10x ROI.
