Procure-to-Pay Transaction Management

We process more than 10 million purchasing transactions for clients on an annual basis.

Our services include requisitioning and governance, PO processing, tracking and expediting, dispute resolution, invoice processing (including two- and three-way match), account reconciliation, T&E processing and several other category-specific activities.

With offices and operations centers in Europe, Asia and the Americas, we provide 24x7 support to a rapidly multiplying roster of Fortune 500 and Global 2000 clients around the world. Repeatedly honored for operational excellence and data security, GEP’s facilities are strategically distributed; they process several thousands of orders every day and are purpose-built to scale with client requirements quickly and easily.

Trained on all mainstream ERP systems, our P2P transactions management outsourcing and consulting teams are a scalable, quality alternative to in-house transaction processing teams, with far more attractive economics.

Many procurement teams struggle to bring the tail-end of their spend under management.

In dollar terms, tail-spend can run into hundreds of millions of dollars at a large company, so the potential savings are often quite significant.

Frequently, tail-spend is, and should be, addressed in a methodical, iterative process (learn more about tail-spend management); but nearly always, there are some purchases inherently tactical in nature that require a different approach.

GEP provides a highly effective "buying desk" to extract value from each purchase at the point of requisition. Our teams use a variety of tools and methodologies to balance cost savings and business criticality for every purchase.

Additionally, we help reduce maverick spend by implementing online and punch-out catalogs, P-cards and improved compliance reporting. Cloud-native GEP SMART^TM provides a ready, user-friendly platform to easily implement catalogs and provide a delightful buying experience to end users.

We leverage the patented, AI-based analytics of our cloud-based procurement platform, GEP SMART, to automate data management and provide intelligent reporting on demand.
