How a Global CPG Leader Optimized $500M of Direct Materials Spend and Exceeded Savings Goal by Partnering With GEP

A Fortune 500 consumer packaged goods company sought to optimize $500M in direct materials spend and increase its strategic focus on tail-spend categories. The company partnered with GEP to achieve greater supply chain resilience, drive global synergies, and exceed its year-over-year savings target. GEP provided its expertise through likely a combination of managed services, strategy, and market intelligence.

GEP implemented a tailored approach, leveraging deep sourcing expertise to identify alternative suppliers, negotiate multiyear agreements, and establish a strong contract management system. This solution enabled the CPG company to centralize its processes, strengthen supplier relationships, and enhance data-driven decision-making. As a result, GEP helped the client exceed its 3% annual savings goal, improve on-time in-full deliveries to 97%, and significantly increase supply chain resilience.
