GEP leads the Spend Matters SolutionMap Spring 2025 and reinforces its position as a global reference in procurement

GEP SOFTWARE™ was once again recognized as the leading technology solution for procurement and supply chain in the Spend Matters SolutionMap Spring 2025 report, taking first place in 12 categories. With this new assessment, the company achieves its eighth consecutive year of leadership in one of the most detailed and respected analysis in the sector.

This recognition reinforces the trust that large organizations place in GEP to transform their procurement processes and relationships with suppliers through well-integrated, data-driven digital solutions.

How does Spend Matters evaluate solutions?

The methodology of SolutionMap, developed by Spend Matters, is known for its level of rigor. The study combines detailed technical criteria — with more than 500 features evaluated — with practical demonstrations of the platforms and direct feedback from corporate users. The result is a transparent reading of the real performance of each solution on the market.

In this 2025 edition, the following were analyzed: 106 suppliers more than 500 RFI requirements, as well as practical demonstrations and direct evaluations by platform users.

At the end of this process, GEP was classified as the best solution in Source-to-Pay (S2P) and Source-to-Contract (S2C), in addition to reaching the top in other 10 strategic categories.

According to Spend Matters itself:

“GEP’s Value Leader placements in our SolutionMaps clearly describe its market dominance, technical capabilities and functional breadth. These positions demonstrate its ability to drive procurement and supply chain transformation programs in large companies.”

GEP Featured Categories in SolutionMap Spring 2025

Among the evaluation criteria, GEP stood out in areas that make up the complete acquisition cycle, supplier relationships, cost analysis, sustainability and contract automation. Check out the categories in which the company achieved the greatest highlights:

Source-to-Pay (S2P) and Source-to-Contract (S2C)

GEP was recognized for its ability to offer a complete solution, from demand analysis and sourcing to contract formalization and payment processing.

Sourcing and Direct Sourcing with Cost Modeling

The platform allows the construction of sourcing strategies based on simulations and accurate financial data, integrating suppliers and categories in a structured manner.

Supplier and risk management

GEP achieved the best indexes in risk visibility, supplier onboarding, performance monitoring and compliance with internal and regulatory policies.

Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM)

With advanced automation features, the platform allows full control over contracts, including auditing, expiration alerts, versioning and sensitive clauses.

E-Procurement and Invoice-to-Pay (AP/I2P)

Integration with ERPs and financial systems allows for more transparent and controlled purchasing and payment flows, with analytical support for decisions on supplier prioritization and payment terms.

Carbon Management (CO₂ Tracking)

GEP also stood out for its solutions focused on sustainability, with tools for tracking emissions in the supply chain and supporting environmental compliance.

Intake & Orchestration

A growing category within the sector, GEP leads with solutions that connect business areas to the procurement team, organizing requests and processes clearly, prioritizing visibility and traceability.

Those who lead, use GEP SOFTWARE

GEP positions itself as a strategic partner for organizations that wish to increase control over their procurement operations, strengthen visibility over the supply chain and make decisions based on consistent information connected to the business.

Your platforms — GEP SMART™, focused on procurement, and GEP NEXXE™, focused on supply chain management — are cloud-native and built on the technological environment GEP QUANTUM™, developed to promote integration, adaptability and intelligent automation.

These solutions connect seamlessly to the main ERPs on the market, such as SAP and Oracle, accommodating different operating models — centralized, decentralized or hybrid — with the same responsiveness and control.

To be recognized as a leader in so many categories by a technical and independent source like Spend Matters reinforces GEP's commitment to developing solutions aligned with the real needs of the market. More than offering technology, the company delivers an approach that allows it to face structural challenges, improve relationships with suppliers and support strategic decisions at different levels of the organization.

GEP's history in SolutionMap, with a continuous presence among the leaders, demonstrates its consistency in maintaining high performance even in changing contexts. This trajectory is the result of constant evolution of the platform, combined with active listening to customers and the ability to anticipate the direction of the sector.

GEP's recurring presence in the highest quadrant of the assessment — where solutions with greater functional depth and technical sophistication are found — reflects a solid proposal, built to support long-term objectives with clarity and focus.

It’s not just about keeping up with digital transformation. It’s about driving it.
Don't get left behind. It's time to evolve.
