Case Study: Leading U.S. Retail Outfitting Company achieves complete spend visibility and 90% spend data accuracy with GEP SMART

Leading Clothier Enhances Spend Visibility and Analytics With GEP SMART™

One of America’s leading clothiers — a retailer with more than $990 million in annual sales, 200+ North American stores and global sourcing and manufacturing operations — faced a fragmented procurement process. The company lacked visibility into roughly $250 million of spend, ran more than 100 RFx events annually, experienced long spend-analysis turnaround times, and used an inflexible procurement system that needed modernization and mobile capability.

GEP deployed its cloud- and mobile-native GEP SMART platform, automating data collection, spend analysis and sourcing while configuring workflows with the client’s procurement team. Within a month the team migrated 12 months of spend data, achieving complete spend visibility across business units, over 90% spend-data accuracy, standardized RFx templates and significantly faster, more flexible procurement and analytics.
