Case Study: Global Water Processing and Technology Company achieves $40M savings and $500M spend under management with GEP SMART

Water Technology Company Optimizes Procurement Operations With GEP SMART

A major U.S. water processing and technology company with more than $5 billion in annual revenue and operations in nearly 160 countries needed to standardize purchasing, improve spend visibility and savings tracking, and gain control over a fragmented procurement environment that relied on spreadsheets and multiple legacy ERPs across diverse geographies and currencies.

The company deployed GEP SMART, a cloud-native, AI-enabled source-to-pay platform, to consolidate spend and savings data, migrate thousands of projects, and standardize processes globally. The solution processed over $2 billion in spend from 23 ERPs across 78 locations, brought roughly $500 million of spend under management, delivered $40 million in savings over three years, and centralized contract and supplier management for more than 30,000 contracts while supporting regional operations in 25+ countries.
