Challenge
Decentralized purchasing led to inconsistent pricing and lost buying power.
Thousands of unpaid invoices were reconciled manually.

Fewer than 5% of staff utilized purchase orders.
Results

Centralized supplier relationships for better pricing.
Streamlined onboarding ensured vendors received payments on time.

“Coupa helps with better use of our funds. It helps our staff with ordering more efficiently and saving time so that they can spend that on fundraising.”
