GEP SMART

Independent supplier intelligence for GEP SMART

Speya is an independent supplier intelligence layer for teams running GEP SMART. GEP packages supplier discovery as a named agent and publishes a Supplier Intelligence block naming third-party data providers. Speya searches millions of supplier profiles from 250+ data sources, vets them with AI agents, and returns a shortlist your team can write into GEP SMART through Speya’s open API.

What does GEP SMART do for supplier discovery today?

GEP packages supplier discovery as a named agent. As of 3 September 2026, GEP’s supplier management page lists a Supplier Discovery Agent that “identifies new suppliers using performance and public data,” and a Profile Enrichment Agent that “enhances supplier data with third-party sources.” Sibling agents cover performance monitoring, supplier onboarding and certificate extraction, and on the sourcing side a Supplier Recommendation Agent sits inside the RFx flow. The transactional layer is the GEP Business Network, which a GEP customer’s supplier portal guide describes as a one time, two step registration. The same supplier management page carried a Supplier Intelligence partner block naming TealBook, Moody’s, LexisNexis, Dun & Bradstreet, Vertex, CDQ, Early Warning and TrustPair on 3 September 2026, with EcoVadis under risk and compliance on the GEP Quantum Intelligence page. GEP announced Leaders quadrant placement in the 2026 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Source-to-Pay Suites on 23 January 2026, evaluated as GEP SMART running on the GEP QUANTUM platform.

Where it stops

Where does GEP SMART supplier discovery stop?

In our assessment, at the data partner. We found no proprietary supplier universe figure published by GEP as of 3 September 2026. The one coverage figure we found is the “5M+ trading partners accessible” claim on GEP’s Multi-Enterprise Collaboration Network page, which describes a transactional network rather than a search index. GEP’s October 2021 release with TealBook said the partnership gave customers “a clear view into supplier discovery and diversity,” which is why we read the discovery data as sourced rather than built in house. That named discovery partner then changed hands: Supplier.io announced its acquisition of TealBook on 2 April 2026, and as of 3 September 2026 GEP’s TealBook partner page still listed TealBook. GEP does not appear among the Sample Vendors Gartner lists under Supplier Discovery in the Hype Cycle for Procurement and Sourcing Solutions, 2025. None of this says anything about how GEP customers rate the suite. On the criteria above, it means the discovery step draws on a third party’s data.

What Speya adds

What does Speya add alongside GEP SMART?

Minutes

From need to AI-vetted shortlist

Millions

Supplier profiles, searched live

250+

Data sources, cross-referenced

Speya is the discovery and vetting layer beside GEP SMART, not a replacement for it. A team describes a sourcing need in plain language. Speya’s AI agents search millions of supplier profiles built from 250+ data sources, including official registries, trade and customs data, financial filings, certifications and the open web, then vet candidates against certifications, financial health, ESG and sanctions and return a tiered, defensible shortlist in minutes with sources beside every name. Discover handles plain-language search by capability, location and standard. Research runs AI-agent vetting with cited evidence. RFx sends RFIs and keeps an audit trail. Enrich refreshes supplier records you already hold. Monitor keeps watching after the award. Speya Auto runs a whole case on its own. Every search is live, and Speya does not sell listings or rankings to suppliers. GEP SMART stays the system of record.

How it connects

How does Speya connect to GEP SMART?

Through the Speya API, which is live today. Access is reviewed per integration and requested at speya.ai/mcp. Integrations are built on request through that open API, where they make technical and commercial sense. The API returns structured supplier records a system can write into its own tables, so a vetted shortlist and its evidence can be written into your supplier master or a sourcing event. The three calls customers make most often: enrich a supplier you already hold, find the named contact, and pull ESG evidence with sources. On the GEP side, REST and Bulk API documentation is public at api.gep.com, customers can select RESTful APIs, SOAP services or FTP and SFTP, GEP QUANTUM accepts cXML, XML, EDI-X12, JSON, PIDX and CSV, and GEP CLICK is the iPaaS layer. GEP’s agentic integration page states that “integration is standardized through the Model Context Protocol, an industry standard adopted across major model providers.” Speya’s MCP server is coming, not live. Shortlists also export as spreadsheets. Speya has no connector certified or listed by a suite vendor.

Questions

Common questions.

Does Speya replace GEP SMART?

No. Speya is not a source-to-pay suite and does not run sourcing events, contracts, purchase orders or invoices. GEP SMART stays the system of record and keeps the workflow. Speya sits in front of it: discover and vet candidates, then write the shortlist and its supporting evidence into GEP through the Speya API, GEP’s own REST and Bulk APIs, or a structured export.

Doesn’t GEP already have supplier intelligence?

It does. As of 3 September 2026, GEP’s supplier management page lists a Supplier Discovery Agent that “identifies new suppliers using performance and public data,” a Profile Enrichment Agent that “enhances supplier data with third-party sources,” and a Supplier Intelligence partner block naming TealBook, Moody’s, LexisNexis, Dun & Bradstreet, Vertex, CDQ, Early Warning and TrustPair. The part Speya covers is different: a live search across millions of supplier profiles from 250+ data sources, with cited evidence beside every name, owned independently of any suite.

Who owns the supplier data behind a GEP shortlist?

In our assessment, often another vendor. GEP’s October 2021 release named TealBook for supplier intelligence, supplier discovery and vendor certificate data, and we found no other GEP partner named for supplier discovery as of 3 September 2026. Supplier.io announced its acquisition of TealBook on 2 April 2026. Coupa announced a definitive agreement to acquire Scoutbee on 6 October 2025. Speya is built and operated by Findmyfactory AB in Stockholm, renamed from Find My Factory on 1 September 2026, and is not owned by, or bundled into, any procurement suite or ERP vendor.

Does GEP support MCP?

Yes, as its stated standard. GEP’s agentic integration page states that “integration is standardized through the Model Context Protocol, an industry standard adopted across major model providers,” and that MCP “reduces deployment time for new source-to-pay connections by 60 to 70 percent.” Speya’s MCP server is coming, not live, so the path today is the Speya API with access reviewed per integration, plus structured exports.
