Challenge
Multiple ERPs were linked to over 14 e-procurement tools that were outdated, highly manual, and not integrated into the larger operational system.
A decentralized procure-to-pay process resulted in low global standardization for making a purchase or processing a purchase order request.
Lack of visibility and control over the procurement and finance functions limited the team’s ability to drive productivity, revenue growth, and sustainability efforts.
Results
Unifying all global spending data and processes into one centralized platform and leveraging AI prescriptions has enhanced sourcing strategies.
Aligning people and processes with a guided procure-to-pay experience boosts on-contract spending, speeds up approvals, and cuts costs.
Gaining greater visibility into the supply chain enables smarter and more sustainable decisions, like finding alternative transportation lanes to reduce carbon emissions.
“Coupa was the product that would allow us to build the right foundation and get us to where we needed to be in the future.”
