Case Study: Leading Oil & Gas Company achieves unified source-to-pay operations and 100% eProcurement with GEP SMART (GEP)

Leading Oil & Gas Company Unifies Source-to-Pay Operations with GEP SMART

A global Fortune 500 oil & gas and chemical manufacturer was hindered by fragmented, largely manual procurement processes, legacy on‑premise and homegrown tools, and low visibility across source‑to‑pay operations. The company needed a single, configurable procurement platform that respected regional nuances, tightened control and compliance with global policies, and sped up sourcing and purchase‑order cycles.

GEP deployed the cloud‑native GEP SMART platform in phased rollouts over 18–24 months for 32,000 users across 40+ countries, integrating seven SAP instances and enabling automated workflows with a center‑led, distributed procurement model. The transformation delivered 100% eprocurement adoption, 2,000+ catalogs through simplified supplier onboarding, shorter sourcing cycles (from 70–90 days to ~50 days), faster PO turnaround, improved real‑time reporting and analytics, and greater use of master agreements to drive contract compliance.
