• GEP recognized for its investments in AI-native architecture, agentic AI, and autonomous decision-making supplier networks
• Recognition follows recent leadership positions from Gartner, IDC and The Hackett Group across procurement, direct spend and supply chain technology

CLARK, N.J., Oct. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- GEP®, a leading provider of AI-powered procurement and supply chain platforms and services to Fortune 500 and Global 2000 enterprises worldwide, today announced that it has been named a Leader in The Forrester Wave™: Supply Chain Platforms, Q3 2026, a recognition that GEP believes places it among the leading providers in the broader enterprise supply chain technologies.

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. It also recognized GEP's superior network participant authentication, and demand signal and forecast collaboration.

 "We have invested in building an AI-native platform because the real value of AI comes only when it is embedded across the work, the data and the decisions to identify new value, reduce risk, and drive competitive compete," said Subhash Makhija, CEO and co-founder, GEP. "GEP Quantum Intelligence provides our customers a fundamentally different advantage: one intelligent platform connecting sourcing, suppliers, risk, demand and execution, rather than adding a thin layer AI on top of fragmented systems."

Forrester said 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 believes this recognition extends its leadership from procurement and direct materials into the broader supply chain platform market. It also 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.

Together, for GEP, the assessments recognize a common set of strengths: Its comprehensive source-to-pay capabilities, unified platform and data, AI and agentic innovation, and deep procurement expertise.

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.

Beim Winterthurer Textilmaschinenhersteller Rieter kommt es zu einem abrupten Führungswechsel. CEO und Verwaltungsratspräsident Thomas Oetterli gibt beide Ämter per Ende Oktober ab. An die Spitze der Geschäftsführung rückt Anfang November der Branchenkenner Daniel Lippuner, während Carl Illi mit sofortiger Wirkung das Präsidium des Verwaltungsrats übernimmt. Rieter begründet den Schritt damit, dass nach der Umsetzung zentraler strategischer Projekte nun der Zeitpunkt gekommen sei, die Verantwortung in neue Hände zu legen.

Lippuner gilt als ausgewiesener Experte für Spinnmaschinen, Garnverarbeitung und Textilkomponenten. Er leitete früher den Textilmaschinenhersteller Saurer und zuvor den Bereich Oerlikon Textile Components. Zudem ist er Verwaltungsratspräsident und Miteigentümer von Heberlein Technology und damit weiterhin eng in der Chemiefaserindustrie verankert. Illi gehört dem Rieter-Verwaltungsrat seit 2017 an und wird vom Unternehmen ebenfalls als Textilexperte charakterisiert. Er soll das Präsidium mindestens bis zur nächsten Generalversammlung führen.

Oetterli, Jahrgang 1969 und früher Chef des Lift- und Rolltreppenherstellers Schindler, war im März 2023 zu Rieter geholt worden, um den bereits damals kriselnden Maschinenbauer zu stabilisieren. Noch im selben Jahr lancierte er das Performance-Programm «Next Level», das ein massives Kostensenkungs- und Restrukturierungspaket umfasst. Der Plan sah unter anderem vor, bis 2025 rund 1400 Vollzeitstellen vorwiegend in Deutschland, der Schweiz und weiteren europäischen Ländern abzubauen und Standorte zu konsolidieren. Parallel dazu übernahm Rieter im Februar die Textilmaschinensparte Barmag von OC Oerlikon, was mit einem deutlichen Anstieg der Verschuldung einherging.

Trotz dieser einschneidenden Massnahmen blieb die erhoffte Trendwende aus. Die Amtszeit Oetterlis war von einem ausserordentlich schwachen Marktumfeld mit anhaltender Nachfrageschwäche geprägt. 2024 hatte er zusätzlich das Präsidium des Verwaltungsrats übernommen – ein Doppelmandat, das den Aktionären ursprünglich als Übergangslösung zur konsequenten Umsetzung von «Next Level» verkauft worden war. Grösster Anteilseigner bei Rieter ist der Schweizer Industrielle Peter Spuhler mit einem Anteil von 33,1 Prozent; er sitzt ebenfalls im Verwaltungsrat. Der Führungswechsel in Winterthur folgt zeitlich auf eine ebenfalls angekündigte Neubesetzung an der Spitze von Stadler Rail, einem weiteren Unternehmen, an dem Spuhler die Kontrolle hält.
