Coupa’s Growth Continues in Q3 with 100 Percent Increase in Spend Volume Through Platform

SAN MATEO, Calif. – October 16, 2012 – Coupa Software, the leader in cloud spend optimization software, today announced its Q3 2012 results, highlighted by its continued global expansion and major customer wins. Spend through the platform increased by more than 100 percent this quarter compared to the same quarter last year.

Other customer wins in Q3 include: Garcia Government Innovations, Hulu, Intermountain Healthcare, Nextag, Synapsense and Violin Memory. 

Coupa executives attribute the company’s success to a myopic focus on making customers successful by leveraging the Coupa cloud-based solution which delivers fast time-to-value.

“Our recent achievements in Q3 further solidify our goal of transforming the old face of procurement into a new age of spend optimization,” said Rob Bernshteyn, CEO of Coupa. “Our next logical step is to take our momentum in the United States and apply it globally – and we’re looking closely at accelerating momentum the UK, Asia-Pacific and Latin America as the next steps in making that a reality.”

Coupa also grew its international customer base by securing Asia-Pacific customers Bistro Americano Corp (AGS), Maynilad Water Services (AGS) and MediaQuest Holdings Inc. Philippines (AGS).

The new capabilities are pre-integrated with the rest of the Coupa platform and help customers further reduce costs and directly impact the bottom line.
