With GIB embedded in SAP, our buyers now accept over 80% of the recommended purchase requisitions. The intelligence GIB brought to our business improved buyer productivity four fold." **Director of Purchasing | Construction Materials, Wholesale Distribution** ![Quote](https://www.gibsupplychain.com/hubfs/Quote.png) Because GIB lives in the SAP HANA environment, it's really a couple of transports and you're ready to go. **Zinpro** GIB was significant in our successful SAP go-live and continued improvement efforts. The GIB team has been an excellent partner in our continued success.  **Business Analyst** Consumer Goods | $1B+ Annual Revenue In addition to cost, the software's clarity and user-friendliness were crucial factors. **Diana Piltz** Manager, Corporate Business Systems | R&M GIB makes navigating SAP much easier.
