Frequently Asked Questions

Will my suppliers use the GEP Supplier portal? Are there any fees?

Yes, and it is likely that many of them already are. GEP does not charge suppliers fees to use the supplier portal. The success of supplier adoption is more closely tied to the enablement plan designed by your implementation partner. At Optis, we have regularly achieved >90% supplier adoption across direct and indirect spend.

How do we do supplier enablement and supplier adoption?

This is the number one contributor to realizing the benefits outlined in your business case and is also the number one long term failure point of source-to-pay programs. The approach to ensuring success is having a comprehensive enablement program that includes collaboration in the project across catalogs, purchase orders, invoices, and engagement methods (email, supplier portal, and cXML). Most importantly, after go-live, full supplier adoption either requires transition to dedicated client resources, or ongoing "white glove" support from your implementation partner.
