SAN MATEO, Calif. – January 30, 2019 – Coupa Software (NASDAQ:COUP), a leader in business spend management (BSM), today announced that Provident Financial Group (PFG), a leading provider of financial services in the nonstandard credit market based in the UK, selected Coupa to transform its business by improving group-level supply side synergies, maximizing spend under management, and increasing operational efficiency to deliver new savings for the organization.

Coupa’s ease of use and fast implementation will allow PFG to quickly onboard core platform capabilities including Coupa Procure, Contract Management, and Invoice.

“To chart a path toward best-in-class performance, we provide global benchmarks with KPIs against which customers can measure progress,” said Mark Riggs, chief customer officer at Coupa. “We are delighted to be working with Provident Financial Group on implementing a cloud-first approach to BSM and look forward to supporting its procurement transformation.”
