Coupa Software, Inc.

Business spend management platform

Coupa runs a business spend management platform whose AI is informed by trillions of dollars of direct and indirect spend flowing across a network of more than 10 million buyers and suppliers. That network position is the product: aggregate visibility across many organisations supports predictions no single company could make from its own purchasing history alone. Customers use it to predict, prescribe and automate purchasing decisions, with the aim of improving operating margins through better visibility and efficiency rather than through blunt cost-cutting.
