Coupa Software Wins Best of SaaS Showplace Award

Software-as-a-Service Procure-to-Pay Solution Provider Helps Companies Spend Smarter and Save Money

San Mateo, CA - June 22, 2009 - Coupa Software, developer of category-disrupting Web-based spend management solutions, today announced that it has been named by THINKstrategies the latest winner of the Best of SaaS Showplace (BoSS) Awards program, which is aimed at promoting the measurable business benefits being delivered by today's Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solutions.

The BoSS Awards program was announced in January 2009 as the latest initiative by THINKstrategies to bring attention to SaaS and cloud computing companies which are producing tangible business benefits for specific user organizations. These benefits include increased sales, lower costs, higher customer satisfaction, faster operations, and greater profitability. Coupa Software is a leading on-demand provider of solutions that control and streamline purchasing for organizations beyond the Fortune 500. Coupa e-Procurement delivers an easy to use, fast to deploy and affordable solution for requisitions, purchase orders, RFQs, inventory and invoicing, with no hardware to buy or software to license. Coupa e-Procurement allowed DirtPros--a leading janitorial maintenance service provider in the Southeast--to automate its procurement approval, tracking and receiving processes, reducing the number of hours need for the manual tasks involved by 25-30 hours per week. Another success story is the University of California at Santa Barbara's Marine Science Institute which used Coupa to automate more than 65% of its purchasing spend and streamlined the time from requisition creation to placed order to less than 48 hours. As a result of these measurable business benefits, Coupa Software has been named the latest BoSS Award winner. A full description of the company's winning BoSS Award submission can be found at http://www.saas-showplace.com/awardSummary.php?key=517.
