The 2025 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Source-to-Pay Suites evaluated 12 providers based on independent data in ability to execute, including product capabilities, financial viability, sales and pricing, and customer vision, and completeness of vision, including market understanding, product and industry strategy, and innovation.
We are thrilled to be recognized again as a Leader and this year are positioned highest for our Ability to Execute.
Why we believe it matters
The Magic Quadrant™ can help procurement leaders evaluate and select the most suitable vendor to support in transforming manual and semi-manual sourcing and procurement processes into efficient, automated workflows that save time and money. With this report, we believe Gartner has a deep understanding of procurement’s expanding role and influence in driving smarter business decisions with a holistic, integrated approach.
The Coupa difference
For 19 years, Coupa has offered collaborative, seamless, and efficient spend management solutions that have always been cloud-based. Our AI-native Total Spend Management platform supports our customers with the ability to predict, prescribe, and automate smarter business decisions.
Prescriptive AI-driven insights
Our AI-native platform is purpose-built with AI models trained using a dataset that represents over $7 trillion in customer-permissioned and ethically sourced community transactions. This intelligence helps our customers negotiate the most competitive prices, drive efficiencies, and improve operational performance.
Guided and unified direct and indirect spend management
The Coupa platform helps streamline spending across procurement, supply chain, and finance supporting collaboration with clear visibility. Teams can optimize operations through enabling an adaptive supply chain with the ability to predict and recover from disruptions, enhancing supplier collaboration to ensure reliable sourcing and negotiate the best rates, and securing financial success through fueling sustained revenue and budget accuracy.
Intelligent fraud detection
Our purpose-built, native AI platform detects anomalies in spending, invoicing, and payment processes, assisting in preventing fraud and errors. Through learning typical spending and process patterns, the system can quickly flag suspicious transactions for further analysis across business spend.
Compliant invoicing
Our invoicing tools help make smarter decisions faster and speed up approval cycle times. For global enterprises, you can keep up with changing regulations while managing suppliers across borders with Coupa’s built-in Compliance-as-a-Service (CaaS) capabilities.
Seamless payments
The AI tools and unified platform enable you to automate reconciliation and efficiently manage all payments to suppliers, employees, subsidiaries, and other beneficiaries, all in one place. This gives you visibility into payment status and reduces time in onboarding suppliers and processing payments, freeing up time for higher value tasks.
AI-powered contract management
Our AI-powered contract lifecycle management automatically extracts key terms and clauses from contracts, identifies potential risks and compliance issues, and suggests standardized language for new contracts based on historical data. Generative AI can streamline the contract review cycle by providing approvers with contract summaries that cover the key terms, dates, and obligations.
Broad ecosystem of partners
Our partner ecosystem offers certified pre-built apps in our App Marketplace to extend the capabilities of our platform along with trusted partnerships that offer support through third-party companies including payment partners, suppliers, and technology partners.
What we’re saying: “In our opinion, Coupa is the industry’s first and foremost AI-driven source-to-pay platform, spanning sourcing, direct and indirect spend, supply chain, and financial management. We are completely focused on uniting people and companies to operate smarter and grow faster, creating more sustainable, profitable business outcomes. This recognition from Gartner, we feel, is a testament to the quantifiable value our platform delivers for our customers and the exceptional work of our 3,000 global employees.”
