Challenge
Limited visibility into spending patterns across 4,000 businesses with no central place to structure data.
The process of manually ordering items through the telephone was time-consuming for frontline chefs and hindered the finance team’s ability to accurately track and manage spend.
The need for a system that could handle millions of invoices, multi-tax codes, and different currencies.
Solution
Results
Automating category management into real-time data dashboards to help the finance team better allocate resources and consolidate suppliers to drive savings.
Simplifying and speeding up the buying process for chefs with an easy-to-use purchase portal while also making it easy for finance to track purchases and ensure compliance.
Automating validation of country-specific tax requirements before issuing an invoice to reduce risks and improve operational efficiency.
“Coupa has the right infrastructure, spread, and localization. They have the ability to handle currencies with a very sophisticated tax code engine.”
