Case Study: Fortune 500 Heavy Equipment Manufacturer achieves streamlined source-to-contract operations and 90% spend data accuracy with GEP SMART

Heavy Equipment Manufacturer Streamlines Source-to-Contract Operations with GEP SMART™

A Fortune 500 heavy equipment manufacturer with more than $30 billion in annual revenue and operations in 30+ countries faced fragmented source-to-contract (S2C) processes, multiple ERPs and limited procurement engagement, which reduced spend visibility and impeded standardized supplier selection. The company’s goals were to centralize sourcing, digitize strategic sourcing, drive use of preferred suppliers and bring more spend under control.

The firm deployed GEP SMART — a cloud-native S2C platform — in nine months for ~3,000 users, integrating with existing ERPs, embedding approval workflows and taxonomies, and delivering extensive user training. The solution centralized RFXs and supplier management, onboarded 1,800+ suppliers, achieved over 90% spend-data accuracy, increased procurement involvement in high‑value decisions, sped approvals and invoice matching, and improved compliance and enterprise-wide spend control.
