Supplier and Contractor
e-Commerce with PPL

PPL encourages its suppliers to use electronic commerce to transact RFQs, bids, purchase orders and invoices for materials.  Contractors can also electronically transact invoices for services.

Using e-commerce to conduct transactions improves lead times, reduces transaction processing costs, speeds the processing of payments, offers competitive advantages in the bidding process and improves communications for both PPL and its suppliers.

PPL uses  GEP, a supply chain e-marketplace, to conduct electronic transactions with its suppliers. Suppliers have the option to use GEP’s Supplier Portal to receive RFQs and orders electronically from PPL and then respond with bids and “flip” orders  into electronic invoices or directly integrate their order fulfillment system to GEP.

There are no fees to use GEP’s Supplier Portal and only a small one-time connection fee for the integration option.
