Alternatives Considered:

Should be better

5.0 4 years ago

Comments: This platform should be better considering all the investment and is an expensive tool for companies, so you spend more time to do the right thing once.

Pros:

It is a good platform to help companies to buy products and services. The idea is to faster the relation between companies (B2B).

Cons:

It is not a friendly platform for the user, it is full os details and does not allows mistakes, I mean if you start a process with some information and you have to change it, you would take some time to do that.

Coupa review

4.0 5 months ago

Comments: I like the ease of raising purchase orders in Coupa. Purchasing is easy once you set it up, but the inital setup can be painful.

Pros:

Ease of releasing purchase order and copying new ones from existing ones.

Cons:

If you have to setup a new purchase order, looking through inventory for a company as large as ours is a nightmare.

Coupa Review

4.0 5 years ago

Comments: Great software for the end user and supplies but not for the admins.

Pros:

It is very easy for the end user and supplier to submit invoices. Suppliers are able to track the invoice process and payments. Helps reduce the time spent communicating with suppliers.

Cons:

Making changes are not easy. Adding custom fields and changing approval chains have not been easy to adjust.

Coupa's e-Procurement Solution Helps Students in Need

5.0 16 years ago

Comments: I highly recommend Coupa as an e-Procurement solution. Once you get the hang of it, it's really quite easy. And, once you do, your organization's work flow will be enhanced forever. The most amazing part is to be able to take immediate advantage of Coupa's incredible new features, such as iRequest. Coupa is not a static company, and they are constantly updating features. Coupa's team provides personalized service and lots of 'hand-holding'. They listen well to our needs. And, our students in need in the Washington, D.C. area are better served as a result Coupa has helped transformed us into a 21st century organization with streamlined operations that enable us to stretch our donor dollars and help more students in need.

Pros:

Neediest Kids is a nonprofit organization that works with 8 area school systems in the Greater Washington, D.C. area. We provide emergency funds to these school systems to purchase the basics - new clothes, school supplies, medical or dental care, eye exams and glasses, and more - so students (K-12) can stay in school and thrive. Coupa's system has moved Neediest Kids from a traditional paper-based system of authorizations and receipts with school professionals spending their own time to shop for items for their students in need. We operate now through a web-based process of issuing POs that go directly to vendors with products shipped directly to school professionals. Thus, we have efficient purchasing, streamlined requests to vendors, real-time product and budget tracking, invoice reconciliation, and more. It's fast...it's internet fast!

Cons:

There are always a few tweaks that could happen here and there, but we get 95% of what we need!

Positive experience with processing expenses

4.0 7 years ago

Comments: The software allowed for some additional options in our expense reporting policy and for a reduction in training costs

Pros:

The software is easy to use and very intuitive. There is minimal training needed and fields are very clear. The computer based login ties into the mobile receipt capture with no issues and corporate card transactions prepopulate expense reports.

Cons:

There is no way to decline an individual piece of the expense report. The expectation for the user to understand the full reimbursement policy of the company may be to high. There is no built in calculation to reduce a reimbursement by type selected.

Great for Accounts Payable Team

4.0 6 years ago

Pros:

This piece of software has streamlined so many of our organizations processes. It connects with personal purchasing cards as well as invoicing for vendors.

I wish this software had the ability to allow property managers to see their vendors invoices on a regular basis without having to pay extra for a user license.

This product is very valuable to a large organization and specifically the accounting teams of that org. Implementation can be difficult but ultimately Coupa Expense platform is highly configurable to an orgs needs.

5.0 6 years ago

Pros:

1. Can be configured in almost any way a business needs. 2. Approval chains can be as simple or complex as you need them. 3. Administration can be managed by accounting team. 4. Integration with Google maps for mileage records. 5. Super easy for users to adopt

Cons:

1. Implementation can be painful depending on which route you go. Coupa may direct you to a third party they partner with and you may be stuck we super strict deadlines and change orders if you aren't able to stick to them.

Pros:

As a member of the finance team this is a useful too that helps us track expenses and make sure that we are charging to the correct cost centers. The approval process is also very helpful.

Coupa, Corporate Expenses

4.0 6 years ago

Pros:

What I like the best about Coupa is that it automatically creates my expenses for me. Typically all I have to do is add the receipt.

Cons:

What I like least about Coupa is the same thing I like because sometimes I want to get the expense submitted quickly and you have to wait for the card to be charged before you can even put a receipt into Coupa.
