A leading provider of AI-driven procurement and supply chain software and offering services to Fortune 500 as well as Global 2000 enterprises worldwide, GEP went on to announce on February 12, 2026, that Ports America, which is the leading U.S. marine terminal operator and stevedore, has gone ahead and selected AI-driven procurement software for spend analysis by GEP in order to establish enterprise-wide spend visibility and also create the foundation when it comes to a more data-driven procurement function.
It is worth noting that Ports America goes on to operate throughout over 70 locations as well as 33 ports in the US and also handles almost 19 million TEUs per year. The company was for long looking to address the challenge pertaining to limited visibility into enterprise spend throughout its geographically distributed operations.

Through rolling out AI-driven procurement software from GE so as to evaluate spending, Ports America will go ahead and establish a unified spend intelligence foundation that is integrated with its disparate data sources, helping procurement and operational leaders in order to gain visibility throughout the major spend categories.
