CLARK, N.J., Oct. 6, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- GEP, a leading provider of AI-powered procurement and supply chain platforms and services to Fortune 500 and Global 2000 enterprises, has been named a Leader in The Forrester Wave™: Supply Chain Platforms, Q3 2026. This recognition places GEP among the top providers in the broader enterprise supply chain technologies market.
Forrester evaluated 13 of the most significant supply chain platform providers and named GEP a Leader. GEP also received the highest possible score of 5 out of 5 in the Innovation criterion. Forrester specifically cited GEP's investments in agentic AI, knowledge graphs, autonomous decision-making, and AI-native architecture. The report also highlighted GEP's superior network participant authentication and demand signal and forecast collaboration.
GEP Quantum Intelligence, the company's AI-native platform, connects sourcing, supplier intelligence, multi-tier visibility, and risk management with demand signals, supply collaboration, and execution. This platform provides a fundamentally different advantage, offering a unified procurement and supply chain solution rather than adding a thin layer of AI on top of fragmented systems.
The recognition from Forrester follows a series of major independent analyst assessments placing GEP at the forefront of enterprise procurement and supply chain technology. Gartner named GEP a Leader in the 2026 Magic Quadrant™ for Source-to-Pay Suites. The Hackett Group named GEP a Leader in its Fall 2026 SolutionMap, with GEP the only provider at the top of the "Sophisticated & Holistic" category across all 15 evaluated areas. IDC MarketScape named GEP a Leader in its 2026 assessment of AI-enabled direct spend.
GEP's comprehensive source-to-pay capabilities, unified platform and data, AI and agentic innovation, and deep procurement expertise are recognized in these assessments. GEP Quantum Intelligence brings procurement and supply chain capabilities together on an AI-native platform, connecting sourcing, supplier intelligence, multi-tier visibility, and risk management with demand signals, supply collaboration, and execution.
According to the report, GEP is best suited to large enterprises seeking a unified procurement and supply chain platform with strong agentic AI, network collaboration, autonomous decision-making, and multienterprise orchestration capabilities. Customers interviewed by Forrester also praised GEP's service and transparency and expressed positive repurchase intent.
GEP, headquartered in Clark, New Jersey, has offices and operations centers across Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Americas. The company's services and solutions help global enterprises become more agile and resilient, operate more efficiently and effectively, gain competitive advantage, boost profitability, and increase shareholder value.
