Recognized for breadth of functionality, strong integration capabilities, and exceptional user interface
SAN MATEO, Calif., Sept. 28, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Coupa today announced that it has been named a Leader in The Hackett Value Matrix™ Purchase-to-Pay (P2P) Solution Provider Perspective.
In the first-of-its-kind evaluation, The Hackett Group® provides a holistic look at P2P solution providers through its Hackett Value Matrix™. Coupa emerged as a Digital World Class® solution provider – the classification for companies achieving both high customer satisfaction ratings as well as an expanded mix of solution capabilities – with uppermost scores in solution maturity, capability breadth, and value realization.
"It's an honor to be one of the highest-rated solutions in The Hackett Group's report – and a huge validation of the customer-focused platform we've co-created with our Business Spend Management (BSM) community," said Michael Van Keulen, chief procurement officer at Coupa. "There's enormous pressure on CEOs and CFOs to drive profitability, making it more critical for them to have visibility and control of every dollar they spend. With Coupa's AI-powered platform, companies make more informed spending decisions to drive profitability today without sacrificing long-term growth."
The Hackett Group recognized Coupa's exceptional user interface, ease of navigation, strong user adoption, and highly configurable and customizable platform. The Hackett Group noted, "Coupa continues to deliver and expand upon its broad range of capabilities, driving high levels of client satisfaction, an intuitive user experience, and improvements in spend management and visibility for its wide and diverse customer base."
After the pandemic, Freeman, a leading global event agency offering a complete solution for exhibitors, corporate events, and trade shows, was looking to preserve its cash but also ramp up operations to meet the growing demand for in-person events. They turned to Coupa to do just that — and saved $40 million in the process.
"Coupa makes it easy," said Christopher Fontana, director of procurement at Freeman. "It's simplistic. It's intuitive. It's logical. And because it's customizable I can make it easy for end-users to accomplish their tasks. Plus everything connects together. The platform is agnostic for integrations, which is amazing, and makes it so easy to navigate."
