Increased Spend Visibility: Coupa provides a real-time, comprehensive view of an organisation’s spending across all departments and suppliers. This level of visibility helps businesses make data-driven decisions, control costs, and improve overall financial performance.
Seamless Integration with ERP Systems: Coupa easily integrates with major ERP systems like SAP S/4 and Oracle Cloud Applications, providing a cohesive solution that enhances the value of existing systems.
