Enterprise tax apps to connect with Coupa cloud platform for business spend

SAN MATEO, CA – May 17, 2017 – Coupa Software (NASDAQ:COUP), a leader in cloud-based spend management, today announced that the CoupaLink program has expanded by certifying apps from global tax regulation compliance partners for real-time, dynamically calculated tax. The new certified apps are from Thomson Reuters, Avalara, and Vertex and are immediately available to connect with the Coupa platform.
