Coupa named a Leader
in the Forrester Wave™: Supplier Value Management (SVM), Q4 2026
Modernizing Procurement for a Global Non-Profit
By partnering with Coupa, the American Red Cross replaced manual invoicing and centralized purchasing with an agile, AI-powered system that empowers field teams.
Value as a service
Challenge
Lacked spend visibility across lines of business.
Centralized procurement model created purchasing bottlenecks.
Reactive purchasing card program led to after-the-fact reconciliation.
Separation between requesters and buyers delayed essential supplies.
Results
Transitioned to an efficient, user-based requisitioning model.
Eliminated manual invoice entry with automated Coupa Pay processing.
Streamlined supplier onboarding and source-to-pay communication.
Provided finance with real-time spend visibility across operations.
"The whole purchase-to-invoice process has been simplified. Coupa is reducing our manual work, and moving toward automation allows accounts payable to focus on more important tasks than just entering invoices."
— Ben Langenhop, Primary Coupa Admin, American Red Cross
