Case Study: Fast Food Giant enhances supplier visibility and onboarding with GEP SMART

Fast Food Giant centralizes 95,000 suppliers with GEP SMART

A major U.S. fast food chain faced a significant challenge in managing its vast supplier network of 95,000 vendors and an annual spend of $6.5 billion. Data was scattered across multiple ERP and database systems, hindering visibility and control. To address this, the company turned to the vendor GEP and implemented their GEP SMART procurement platform.

GEP cleansed and integrated the disparate spend and supplier data through GEP SMART, which centralized information and improved data quality. This provided the company with better visibility and valuable insights. As a result, GEP helped the fast food giant strengthen its supplier relationships, enhance supplier management capabilities, and significantly speed up the process of onboarding new suppliers.
