The short version

  • Each has a real cost: 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.; Yonyou no pricing is published anywhere on the site for any of its three tiered products (YonBIP, YonSuite, Chanjet); the only path to cost is a phone sales line or a contact form for a custom quote and demo

Where each one falls short

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

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.

Yonyou

  • No pricing is published anywhere on the site for any of its three tiered products (YonBIP, YonSuite, Chanjet); the only path to cost is a phone sales line or a contact form for a custom quote and demo
  • Product selection depends on company size tier (large enterprise, growth stage, small/micro) rather than a single scalable plan, so buyers must first identify which of the three separately branded products applies to them
