Managing enterprise-wide tail spend is a challenge for many procurement teams. Tail spend at large organizations often runs into hundreds of millions of dollars and the potential savings through effective tail-spend management can be significant.
While most tail spend requires methodical, iterative processes, some tactical purchases demand a different approach. GEP has a highly effective “buying desk” that specializes in extracting value from each purchase at the point of requisition. We deploy proven-effective tools and methodologies to balance cost savings and business criticality for every purchase.
