Welcome to a world where measurable business value is delivered as a service: Coupa Software

“Value is worthless until delivered.”

Why should the way we buy at work be any different than the way we buy at home? Answer: It shouldn’t. And so Coupa’s procurement software was born. It doesn’t matter how powerful your procurement system is on the back end, because if people can’t or won’t use it, you won’t save a dime. Companies that use Coupa see unprecedented rates of user adoption. Many of our customers say Coupa makes shopping at work feel just like online shopping at home.

Procurement is not the only way companies spend money, so Coupa set out to build a unified suite that brings that same user-centric approach to all of the ways companies spend money, giving customers 360-degree visibility of spending that’s happening company-wide so they can see and then save. Coupa’s unified spend suite includes invoicing, expenses, sourcing, contract lifecycle management, budgeting, analytics and more. Today, Coupa Software is an award-winning, industry leader in cloud-based spend management, enabling businesses worldwide to recognize bottom-line financial success via Value-as a-Service.
