The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Deposco pricing is entirely quote-based, and the annual figure puts it out of reach for smaller operations that its marketing sometimes attracts; GEP SMART gEP sells the software, the consulting and the outsourced procurement team, so the vendor measuring the savings is often the vendor delivering them, which makes independent verification difficult.
  • They diverge on capability: Deposco covers Warehouse management, GEP SMART covers Unified source-to-pay.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 31 August 2026.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Deposco

  • Pricing is entirely quote-based, and the annual figure puts it out of reach for smaller operations that its marketing sometimes attracts
  • Implementation is still a project with process design and integration work, even though it is shorter than the enterprise incumbents
  • Less established than Manhattan or Blue Yonder, which matters in procurement processes that weight vendor longevity
  • Deep manufacturing execution is outside its scope, so operations needing both will run two systems
  • Reference customers cluster in retail and 3PL, so unusual verticals should ask hard questions about fit

GEP SMART

  • GEP sells the software, the consulting and the outsourced procurement team, so the vendor measuring the savings is often the vendor delivering them, which makes independent verification difficult.
  • Nothing is published and reported entry points around half a million US dollars a year exclude implementation, which GEP typically delivers itself rather than through a competing integrator.
  • Implementation being delivered by the vendor limits the pool of independent consultants who can advise you during the project or take over afterwards.
  • Combined software and services engagements are difficult to unwind, because replacing the platform also means rebuilding procurement capability the outsourcer was providing.
  • The platform is scoped for very large enterprises, so mid-market organisations face both a price and a complexity floor that no module selection brings down.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Deposco: What does Deposco cost?

Not published. It is an annual contract quoted on volume, sites and modules, and it is priced as enterprise software rather than as a per-user SaaS tool.

GEP SMART: Is GEP just a software company?

No. It sells procurement software, procurement consulting and outsourced procurement operations, and deals often combine all three.

Deposco: How does it compare to Manhattan or Blue Yonder?

Comparable warehouse capability with a shorter implementation and lower entry cost. The incumbents are ahead on the largest and most complex networks.

GEP SMART: What does GEP SMART cost?

Not published. Third parties report deployments from around 500,000 USD a year, scaled by managed spend, modules and users.

Deposco: Is it suitable for 3PL?

Yes, explicitly. Multi-client warehousing with per-client billing is a first-class capability rather than an adaptation.

GEP SMART: Who implements it?

GEP typically does, which shortens the project but reduces independent advice during and after it.

Deposco: Does it replace an ERP?

No. It handles warehouse and order execution and integrates with NetSuite, SAP and similar for finance and broader business processes.

GEP SMART: How does it compare with Ivalua?

Both are single-platform enterprise source-to-pay. GEP adds consulting and managed services; Ivalua is software only and stronger on direct materials.

Deposco: When do companies buy it?

Usually when order volume has outgrown a basic inventory tool and the warehouse itself has become the bottleneck. Below that point it is more system than the operation needs.
