Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Our GEP SMART e-procurement software is designed to enable seamless ERP integration and also work with any F&A or local accounts payable system. GEP SMART has similar integration capabilities with both, on-premises software as well as cloud-based ERP systems.
Unlike stand-alone or integrated e-procurement solutions, GEP SMART is a unified source-to-pay procurement platform with inbuilt procurement capabilities that enterprises can use to automate every source-to-pay process. With SMART S2P, you can automate your spend analysis, e-sourcing and procure-to-pay processes as well as optimize your supplier/vendor management and category management processes. In addition to these, SMART S2P helps you in monitoring your procurement savings using the in-built savings tracking function.
Yes. Following the implementation of GEP SMART, the supplier on-boarding process is initiated during which EDI connections can be established with suppliers to help them directly connect with the procurement platform. Suppliers without EDI connections can connect to SMART S2P through the supplier portal.
The time required to implement SMART S2P varies from customer to customer. It largely depends on the number of users, geographical locations and the number of functions from the unified source-to-pay platform that the customer wants to enable.
GEP SMART e-procurement software is designed to optimize the user experience and to make navigation through the software highly intuitive. In addition, the sleek, minimalistic interfaces ensure ease of use with minimal or no training. You can read more about GEP SMART’s user centric design here.

GEP SMART is a unified, cloud-native procurement platform and cannot be implemented as on-premises software. GEP SMART is a multi-tenant software system and each customer can use the functions that are right for their organization. In fact, instead of implementation, customers need only have SMART S2P configured for their requirements. Being a cloud-native platform, GEP SMART offers the inherent benefit of being accessible anytime, anywhere and on any device.
As a multi-tenant cloud system, GEP SMART is designed to automate every process of your source-to-pay cycle straight out of the box. In addition, SMART S2P can be configured to accommodate customer-specific requirements and use cases. Our technology experts work with you to understand your business and make the necessary configurations and workflows so that it does just what you want it to do.
Technology and procurement process experts at GEP understand your procurement requirements and work with you until the implementation process of our e-procurement solution is complete. Also, since SMART Source-to-Pay is a cloud-native platform, every system maintenance activity is performed on the cloud with zero downtime for the user. Unlike purchasing a stand-alone, on-premises software and its consequent upgrades, the subscription to GEP SMART comes bundled with the cost of usage, maintenance, upgrades, support and ongoing assistance.
Your data on GEP SMART is probably more secure than the data secured by any behind-the-firewall system because our e-procurement software is built on the Microsoft Azure cloud platform that provides multiple-layers of security. GEP SMART and Microsoft Azure apply state-of-the-art encryption, cryptography and database infrastructure to ensure that your data is safe, even if your device is stolen.
