Predicting the future of business spend, faster
Coupa + MIT Data Science Lab move beyond sentiment
Building procurement excellence for members with Coupa
Nationwide Building Society transformed fragmented procurement into a unified, AI-powered platform — automating workflows, improving compliance, and saving time across 15,000 employees.
Value as a service
Challenge
Disconnected systems and offline processes made it hard to track spend, enforce compliance, and manage supplier relationships efficiently.
Manual approvals slowed procurement, and finance lacked consistent data for forecasting.
Teams spent more time on administration than strategy.
Results
Gained real-time visibility, improved stock control, and more time for strategic sourcing.
Automating e-invoicing compliance and invoice matching drives efficiencies for the AP team.
Intelligent routing of warehouse picking is now done 100% digitally on iPads.
“We don’t want just efficiency, we want excellence. Coupa supports that across every layer of our operations.”
— Sarah Dryden, Head of Digital Procurement, Nationwide Building Society
