What differentiates GEP SMART from other similar products?

GEP SMART is the best tool to manage tenders, it gives you opportunities to setup all the requirements and questions and score in the system. It only requires a bit more software upgrade for P2P purchases, in this field it lacked more reports of vendor, spend analysis to become top of the class Procurement Software.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

My favorite aspects of this product is the incorporation of all the tender process automatically in the system, all the scoring, evaluation and history of all processes.

What do you dislike most about this product?

What I most disliked about the products was on the P2P software system, it dis not had many reporting tools and it too simple, for a complex environment it requires more field to insert more information about the purchases, Transport carrier etc

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

I would suggest the use of this software mainly for complex service tenders usage.

Pros

Helps Innovate
