Coupa Named a Leader in Three 2025 IDC MarketScape Reports

Coupa is honored to have been named a Leader in three IDC MarketScape reports — IDC MarketScape: Worldwide AI-Enabled Source-to-Pay 2025 Vendor Assessment, IDC MarketScape: Worldwide AI-Enabled Procure-to-Pay Applications 2025 Vendor Assessment, and IDC MarketScape: Worldwide AI-Enabled Buy-Side Contract Life-Cycle Management Within S2P 2025 Vendor Assessment. These three reports evaluate companies offering cloud-based procurement solutions that optimize processes, minimize costs, ensure timely delivery of goods and services, and assist in maintaining strong supplier relationships.

We believe the inclusion criteria encompasses all activities involved in acquiring goods and services, from defining internal requirements, identifying and evaluating suppliers, negotiating contracts, and procuring goods and services, to processing invoices and efficiently paying suppliers.

“Coupa’s expansive global reach and adaptable, unified platform make it an ideal choice for organizations of all sizes seeking to streamline and enhance their procurement functions. Their solution is designed to maximize value and efficiency not just within procurement, but also across sourcing, invoicing, payments, and beyond.”

A pivotal time for procurement

Companies are facing continued pressure from global instability, ongoing economic uncertainty, and increasing government regulations, supporting the need for a complete view of total spend as a vital part of modern procurement. Having this visibility on a single platform is key to efficient processes that ensure goods and services meet required quality parameters, invoices are received and verified, and payments are correct and timely — just to name a few.

Without an end-to-end platform, it is difficult and inefficient to verify correct pricing and ensure adherence to agreements. This can lead to off-contract buying, duplicate payments, disadvantaged payment terms, and ultimately, compromised margins.
