Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use GEP's Quantum Intelligence platform as partners, enabling it for our clients, as a all-in-one and turnkey S2P solution. Our users can get proposal from different vendors, convert them into requisitions, use loaded catalogs and punch-out, confirm what they did receive in front of the ordered quantities, and approve corresponding invoices. All approvals are obtained through predefined workflows and our users can leverage their own data in real time.

Pros

One place to find all the information related to your procurement
Easy document tracking
Connecting buyers and suppliers

Cons

Multi language UX
Separate clients UAT domains and not use them for non stable upgrades testing

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

SMART by GEP (S2C) is used by all procurement professionals at my company in order to facilitate sourcing events, and author/store contracts once executed. This resolves visibility issues we have as we don't have a single instance of backend systems such as P2P or ERP so having a single instance of S2C helps to search for sourcing events and fully executed procurement contracts across all locations.

Pros

SMART is flexible and scalable.
The account team is there to listen client concerns and business needs.
The engineering team is willing to share their concepts in development and vet with their clients prior to production release. They value client feedback.
GEP has a lot of progressive thinkers and is willing to invest in new technology trends such as AI, Machine Learning, digital adoption, etc.

Cons

SMART tends to be too client-focused. This can be a strength while too client-focused approach would not work well as GEP is gaining diverse clients from different verticals. Some functionality was developed for a specific client and it was pushed to production for general clients to use. At the time, SMART was missing some basic functionality and the engineering team was too busy to react to specific enhancement requests from a small pool of clients that it didn't have time to work on basic functionality.
Generally speaking, SMART is easy to use, but it needs to improve its UI. Some icons are hard to see (web accessibility issues) and not logically placed. Their placement of icons or action menus is not intuitive and will need to be enhanced. I expect GEP to hire professional UX/UI experts to revamp their UX similar to more prevalent apps out there as many users are used to performing certain actions in an app in a certain way. For example, in terms of search functionality, many users are used to how Google search results were displayed and returned. I understand that searching is not GEP's core competency, but users are expecting search functionality to behave like Google search as that is what they are used to. Highly recommend GEP to leverage best practices, market trends, end-user behavioral analysis, etc. when developing logic for functionality.
SMART user guides and release notes will have to be revamped. Oftentimes, their user guides and release notes are not available, or poorly put together with typos. This is an area GEP will have to invest in and bring a technical writer to develop step by step user guides and release notes (before and after screenshots would be much appreciated) to help those who manage SMART so administrators have a clear understanding of logic and how-to prior to new functionality introduction.

Return on Investment

It helps users to better project manage their sourcing events and contract negotiations.
Gained visibility across different locations is definitely a positive thing.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

GEP delivers comprehensive spend, sourcing, and procurement solutions to our Supply Management team. Their SMART system provides visibility to material spend globally and standardizes our quotation and contract processes throughout all our diverse businesses.

Pros

Support and training.
Working with us on customized solutions.
Ongoing customer relationships and continuous improvement of their solution.

Cons

Would like to see functionality improvements in better automatic communication of information between modules (e.g. Spend, Supplier, Contract, etc.)

Return on Investment

GEP SMART has improved our spend analytics speed by allowing analysis to be completed in minutes compared to days when we previously used Excel spreadsheets.
The SMART Sourcing (RFX) solution has greatly improved the consistency of our supplier quoting and information gathering process.
