CLARK, N.J., July 1, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- GEP^®, a leading provider of AI-driven procurement and supply chain software, consulting, and services to Fortune 500 and Global 2000 enterprises, announced today that it has acquired OpusCapita, a leading provider of e-invoicing and procurement solutions based in Helsinki, Finland. This acquisition combines GEP's industry-leading procurement and supply chain software with the foremost e-invoicing and accounts payable automation solutions, and expands GEP's global operations across the Nordic countries.

"OpusCapita is a kindred spirit with a proven track record of strong organic growth, tenured customers, a relentless focus on fostering top-tier talent and investing in AI-driven procurement software and services," said Subhash Makhija, CEO and cofounder, GEP. "OpusCapita is a perfect fit for GEP and vice versa, because it unites the foremost e-invoicing and AP automation solutions in the Nordic region with GEP SMART, the industry's leading AI-driven global procurement and supply chain platform, and combines deep regional expertise and relationships into a robust customer base of global enterprises."

Founded in 1985, OpusCapita is at the forefront of e-invoicing, accounts payable automation and supply chain document management, supporting 600 clients, with 220 employees located across offices in the Nordics, continental Europe, and Pittsburgh, U.S.  Similar to GEP, which introduced the industry's first AI-native, low-code platform, GEP QUANTUM, for its flagship software solutions, GEP SMART™ (procurement), GEP NEXXE™(supply chain), and GEP GREEN (sustainability), OpusCapita recently launched its ground-up remade SaaS platform with AI and low-code. OpusCapita will operate as a stand-alone subsidiary of GEP, leveraging GEP's scale, global presence, broader product portfolio, and deeper R&D capabilities to drive growth.

"We are coming together with OpusCapita to further our mission to apply AI and low-code solutions to automate and streamline procurement, enabling companies to make a marked leap in impact and value," said Santosh Nair, chief product officer, GEP. "We're excited about our shared future, and to introduce OpusCapita customers to our solutions, which help the world's best companies create greater value from their spend," added Nair.
