FAQ

What type of spend is best for Supply Chain Collaboration?

Supply Chain Collaboration works best for MRO, strategic or raw materials, direct materials, and transportation/logistics spend. These materials are critical for the production of the company’s product or service. However, Supply Chain Collaboration also works well for indirect materials — goods and services that support a company’s operations such as office suppliers, electronic equipment, or IT services.

The biggest benefit of Supply Chain Collaboration is having a single view into and more control over critical material orders and inventory, regardless of whether they’re categorized as direct or indirect.

What are some performance metrics that indicate Supply Chain Collaboration is right for my company?

If your suppliers' on-time in-full performance (OTIF) is below 90%, your first-time invoicing accuracy for direct materials is below 90%, and/or your cost of goods sold (COGS) is 3X or 4X of your operating expenses, it’s a sign you could significantly benefit from Supply Chain Collaboration tools.

What kinds of ERPs work with Supply Chain Collaboration?

Coupa can integrate up to 160 ERPs including SAP, Oracle, Netsuite, and many others. Companies with multiple business units typically have different versions of the same ERP. In effect, they act like separate ERP systems. Supply Chain Collaboration connects these ERP systems and provides visibility to both buyers and suppliers in the PO and forecast management lifecycle.
