Case Study: Global Engineering Firm achieves up to 98% spend visibility with GEP SMART

Global Engineering Firm Uses GEP SMART™ to Achieve Up To 98% Spend Visibility

A multinational engineering and technology firm with more than 25,000 employees and $3.25 billion in annual revenue needed to boost savings and bring more spend under management. Its legacy ERP systems left it with almost no visibility into common suppliers and categories across divisions, so the company sought to standardize procurement processes and gain end-to-end spend visibility.

The firm deployed the AI-powered, cloud-native GEP SMART platform, migrating around four years of historical data from about 25 sources and capturing more than 75 spend dimensions. Deployed in roughly 50 days, the solution delivered up to 98% global spend visibility, provided customizable region- and division-level dashboards, onboarded 25+ power users and 80 business users, and achieved ~95% accuracy after spend enrichment—enabling faster analysis and accelerated savings opportunities.
