Case Study: American Retailer saves $25M on packaging with GEP

American Retailer saves $25M on packaging with GEP

An American Retailer, a leading $16 billion U.S. supermarket chain, was facing high procurement costs and complexity due to a fragmented supplier base and hundreds of redundant packaging SKUs.

GEP intervened with its strategic sourcing expertise and GEP SMART eAuctions platform. The solution led to a supplier reduction of over 60% and the elimination of more than 400 SKUs, generating $25 million in savings for the retailer and transforming their procurement approach.
