A GEP Case Study
A Fortune 100 U.S. retailer faced a flood of supplier requests for cost increases tied to tariffs and had no way to validate them. The company partnered with GEP to build a centralized, SKU-level tool for reviewing these claims and recalculating tariff costs.
GEP implemented a solution that automated the process of data ingestion, HTS mapping, and quality assurance for each cost increase request. This enabled the retailer to process over 2,000 requests, reduce its sourcing cycle time by 50%, and successfully stop unsubstantiated supplier cost hikes.
