Forrester Names GEP a Leader in Supply Chain Platforms

Forrester evaluated 13 providers for the report, ultimately highlighting GEP’s focus on AI-native architecture and knowledge graphs as primary differentiators. Analysts specifically pointed to the company’s superior network participant authentication and demand signal collaboration as key strengths for enterprises managing complex supply chains. GEP CEO Subhash Makhija attributed this performance to the company's decision to embed intelligence directly into core workflows rather than applying AI as a secondary overlay on fragmented systems.

This latest assessment reinforces a broader trend of industry recognition for the Clark, New Jersey-based provider. Throughout 2026, GEP has secured leadership rankings from Gartner for source-to-pay suites, The Hackett Group for its holistic procurement solutions, and IDC for AI-enabled direct spend. These independent evaluations consistently point to the firm's unified platform, GEP Quantum Intelligence, as a critical tool for organizations attempting to bridge the gap between procurement sourcing and physical supply chain execution.
