Case Study: Leading Home Construction Products Manufacturing Company achieves enterprise-wide procurement visibility and accelerated sourcing with GEP SMART

Home Construction Products Manufacturer Improves Strategic Sourcing With Smart by GEP

A leading manufacturer of home improvement and new construction products—composed of more than 20 companies with 60+ U.S. and 20+ international manufacturing sites—needed to increase enterprise-wide spend under management and gain a single view of procurement. Its decade-old legacy system was not mobile or configurable, delivered poor user adoption, slow refresh cycles, and limited visibility across the procurement chain, prompting a search for a modern source-to-pay solution.

The company implemented GEP SMART, a cloud-native, mobile-enabled source-to-contract platform, migrated three years of legacy data, integrated its contract administration tool, standardized RFx templates, and deployed automated supplier scorecards. Within six months it created 200+ contracts, now analyzes $5 billion in annual spend with quarterly refreshes, executes 80+ sourcing events per quarter (inviting 400+ suppliers), and achieved over 95% spend-classification accuracy while improving user adoption and reducing turnaround times.
