Case Study: Fortune 300 Consumer Products Manufacturer achieves dramatic procurement efficiencies and rapid PO/invoice turnaround with GEP

Improving Operational Efficieny through GEP's Procurement Outsourcing

A Fortune 300 consumer products manufacturer faced a fragmented, underutilized procurement organization operating in category silos with no clear service targets—more than 30% of POs were open over 90 days, 70% of blocked invoices took seven or more days to clear, 24% of supplier deliveries were delayed over 30 days, and procurement wages were out of sync with the market.

GEP assumed full transaction responsibility in an accelerated six-week transition, deploying cross‑skilled teams, tailored SOPs, SLAs, reporting dashboards, automated P2P workflows and vendor scorecards. The engagement cut PO aging to under 10% beyond 90 days, cleared 90% of blocked invoices within seven days, reduced deliveries over 30 days to 5%, and delivered measurable operational efficiencies across categories.
