Harness Transactions To Optimize Spend
Companies usually spend money in two types of ways– either employees create requests, issue purchase orders and process invoices, or they just go spend money and then expense it! Coupa’s first goal is to enable you to completely own both of these types of transactions and to amplify your spend power.

Coupa’s Procure-to-Pay solution covers all the steps from Procurement to Invoicing including RFQs, Contracts, Requisitions & POs, Budgets, Invoicing and Inventory Management. Coupa Expense Management is used for Expense Reporting, Budgets and Auditing. And all transactions can be in multiple currencies and languages.
But owning the transactions is just a start – it’s not nearly enough to help you optimize your spend. To optimize your spend and keep it that way, you need to do a few things:
- Promote a culture of responsible spending by all employees
- Get full visibility into all the non-payroll spend transactions
- Amplify your spend power by leveraging the collective might of your employees and partners
And this is where Coupa excels and sets itself apart from all of the other solutions in the market. Coupa goes beyond the process automation that most solutions focus on. We enable you to harness a transaction to fully optimize your spend with four key industry defining paradigms –
- Community – Coupa fosters a culture of responsible spending by making it easy for employees to follow company policies, learn best practices and find savings opportunities by being a part of the community of buyers and suppliers.
- Network – Coupa customers and their suppliers don’t have to sign up and pay fees to join the Coupa network - they’re automatically part of it. Buyers and suppliers can interact with each other in any desired method: CSV, CXML, EDI, direct input. And suppliers don’t have to incur costs to create punch-out sites.
- Analytics – Coupa’s analytics provide an unparalleled visibility into your spend by ensuring that spend data is accessible, accurate and actionable for all decision makers.
