Axiata Supports Global Growth with Coupa
Managing six ERPs separately — each with its own processes — stopped Axiata from driving operational efficiency. Now, all ERP data and processes are connected in one place on Coupa’s platform.

Challenge
- Axiata’s six business units used different ERPs which led to low spend visibility for the company as a whole.
- Separate processes across each business unit prevented Axiata from efficiently scaling.
- With more than 70% of spend going toward capital expenditures, the company needed a solution that could unlock capital and accurately track its complex financial portfolio.
Results
- Connecting six different ERPs with Coupa enables the company to get 94% of spend under management.
- Standardizing processes on one platform provides full visibility and control over indirect and direct spending and a nearly 30% faster purchase cycle time.
- Improving budgeting and resource allocation for future projects thanks to better spending data capture.
“We have six different operating companies with six different ERPs. Coupa is the layer that enables us to put all that information together, letting us collaborate as a team and helping us drive forward as a company.”
