Challenge

Issuing blanket POs increased risk and meant finance couldn’t compare item pricing, check availability, or track shipments.

Using four different systems for procurement and payments led to slow operational processes and data silos.

Getting internal stakeholder buy-in for a new spend solution.

Results

A step-by-step controlled buying process with punchout capabilities ensures each purchase is properly captured, approved, and compliant.

One system to connect procurement and payments, including three-way and touchless invoice matching, means two people now seamlessly process over 1,000 invoices each month.

Coupa’s easy integration with NetSuite lightened the load on internal employees.

“With a click of a button every week I can see how many invoices were processed, how many are past due, how many are current, and what is out for end-user review.”
-- Besty Gelfand, VP of Finance
