GEP Unveils Industry's First AI Total Orchestration Solution

GEP, a globally renowned leader in AI-driven procurement and supply chain solutions, is offering more support with the industry's inaugural AI-powered total orchestration solution. 

Through this advancement, it will improve the efficiency of enterprises and revolutionise user experience, setting a new standard for excellence in procurement and supply chain management.

Addressing a growing trend where the majority of procurement application users are non-procurement professionals, this new tool will assist those engaging in the process. Despite advances in software functional capabilities, these users continue to find procurement processes innately complex.

How the tool will work

GEP, known for its leading innovation in the source-to-pay full-suite provider space, is there to support through its Total Orchestration solution, with a built-in co-pilot that embeds intelligence across complex workflows, while also simplifying the end-user experience. GEP’s orchestration engine will encompass cutting-edge AI, low code, data harmonisation and workflow design that reimagines the end-user experience.

"In a few years, more than 80% of procurement transactions will be executed by non-procurement business users," says Santosh Nair, GEP's Chief Product Officer.

"GEP's orchestration solution provides users with a simple guided intake process and visibility into the next steps with conversational collaboration and auto-fulfilment of their needs.

“GEP Total Orchestration Solution is an advanced intelligent engine that orchestrates the whole procurement flow and integrates seamlessly with other applications in the ecosystem."

Through leveraging its GenAI and low-code platform, GEP QUANTUM, GEP's orchestration approach adeptly understands and guides users' buying decisions, streamlines all processes, improves collaboration, decision-making, control and visibility over enterprise spend to uncover and deliver superior value.

GEP orchestration also drives how GEP SOFTWARE integrates with solution and data providers from the wider ecosystem, providing its customers with a command centre across a multi-enterprise network.

GEP QUANTUM

GEP QUANTUM is an AI-first, low-code application development platform designed for agile and dynamic enterprises. It powers GEP’s market-leading procurement and supply chain platforms, GEP SMART and GEP NEXXE, enabling the development of innovative and disruptive solutions. The platform blends AI, data, human expertise and application development to help businesses stay ahead in innovation and future-proof their operations.

GEP orchestration streamlines the entire source-to-pay process for users through:

• Supporting guided purchasing: Users initiate a request or ask for something they need using a simple search bar, eliminating dozens of steps and clicks. Non-technical users are guided to the optimal buying channel or result within one click
• Providing supplier recommendations: Users receive relevant and preferred suppliers using extensive and inclusive factors, including category, sustainability, risk, diversity, and prior participation, as well as price. Additionally, users can also create sourcing events or contracts directly using search.
• Democratising intelligence and dynamic reporting: Using natural-language queries, instead of pre-determined charting, users analyse and create high-level dashboards of data from any source.
• Automating contract management: Users view and manage their contractual obligations and sub-activities, and how they can be automatically marked as complete based on invoice payment or supplier upload.
• Increasing adoption and productivity: By synchronising processes within the entire source-to-pay process, it increases efficiency, transparency, and enterprise collaboration.
• Empowering users: With the intelligence to understand the intent, the system automatically guides employees through the correct process and routes the best possible path through the entire source-to-pay process.
