Challenge

Following the merger of Wintershall and Dea, the company needed a user-friendly spend management system that integrated seamlessly with its ERP and facilitated cross-border functionality.

Multiple procurement systems and tools used across regions led to costly IT maintenance and didn’t provide the agility needed to keep pace with market changes.

The procurement and finance teams struggled to complete manual tasks, such as checking each purchase order request, confirming supplier compliance, and approving invoices.

Results

Data from across the organization goes from one Coupa interface and flows directly into Wintershall Dea’s main ERP, providing a harmonized operational database.

One platform for all global procurement and finance processes provides a flexible and scalable tech architecture for the company.

The increase in automated purchasing through catalogs and e-invoicing improves compliance and gives Wintershall Dea’s procurement and finance teams more time for strategic initiatives for the business.

“I’m very pleased with the Coupa solution that my team put in place because it has simplified our tech architecture and landscape.”
