Coupa vs Tipalti
There’s a reason Coupa ranks as a leader and customers’ choice among third-party analyst reports in several categories including e-payables, procure-to-pay, travel and expense, and supply chain. It’s because, unlike Tiptali, we don’t just help with one area of your business. We help with every area across your spending cycle. Here’s what sets us apart as the leading spend management platform for businesses of all sizes.
Myth: My company is too small for Coupa.
Fact: Half of all Coupa customers are small or midsize businesses.
Our user-friendly platform makes purchasing, invoicing, payments, and expenses easier and quicker. We offer online, guided experiences with widely-used suppliers like Apple and Amazon, accessible in our search bar. You can also compare prices and items from multiple suppliers, so you know you’re getting the best deal every time. And with one-time vCards for POs and invoices in partnership with 12 banks, you can be sure your transactions and information are always protected. Tiptali can’t do that.
Scale your Accounts Payable process with multi-level automated invoice validation, dynamic approval workflows, and mobile access. Most Coupa customers achieve a 90+% automatic, first-time, invoice-to-purchase-order match rate, saving valuable time for teams. Tiptali doesn’t publicly disclose what their customers achieve.
Myth: My company only needs a few specific spend solutions right now.
Fact: Fast-growth companies rapidly outgrow point solutions.
Instead of piecing together different point solutions to solve your needs, use one platform that grows with your company and extends the value of your ERP. The benefits of a one-stop-shop platform like Coupa include the ability to address your immediate, urgent needs such as AP automation, expenses, or payments now, and add additional features as your business scales.
As a seven-timed ranked leader for procure-to-pay suites in Gartner’s analyst report, we:
- Automate invoicing processes before and after the invoice is received
- Provide one-time vCards on POs and invoices
- Automatically reconcile back to the general ledger for AP, treasury, payroll, and tax payments
Tipalti doesn’t do any of that.
No matter what comes next for your company — be it IPO readiness or complex sourcing needs — there’s no need to integrate different point solutions at different times. You can be ready and do it all with Coupa.
