Case Study: Leading Energy & Utility Company achieves end-to-end procurement visibility and streamlined supplier management with GEP SMART™ (GEP)

Leading Energy Company Optimizes Purchasing and Supplier Management with GEP SMART

A leading U.S. power holding company that generates more than 60,000 MW and serves 8.1 million customers needed to replace a custom procure-to-pay system that lacked end-to-end visibility, integrated poorly with other systems, and drove low user adoption and weak supplier management. The company’s objectives were clearer process visibility, seamless system integration, stronger supplier management and more powerful reporting.

The firm selected GEP SMART™, an AI-enabled, cloud-native source-to-pay platform, and migrated all P2P activity (including 200,000 historical orders) within 12 months while building new system interfaces and EDI connections for suppliers. The deployment enabled full procurement visibility, rapid supplier onboarding (70 hosted and 6 integrated suppliers within two weeks), more than 500 POs and ~20,000 invoices processed monthly, about 80,000 annual transactions, and high user adoption driven by improved reporting and dashboards.
