Overview

Product Information on Coupa

Updated 13th October 2025

What is Coupa?

Coupa is a software designed for business spend management, enabling organizations to control and optimize procurement, invoicing, and expenses. The software provides modules for sourcing, contract management, supplier collaboration, and analytics to help monitor and manage financial operations. Through its cloud-based platform, users can automate purchasing workflows, enforce compliance with policies, and gain visibility into spend data. Coupa addresses challenges such as manual processing, lack of spend control, and limited insight into supplier performance, supporting businesses in improving efficiency and reducing costs associated with unmanaged spending.

Coupa Pricing

Coupa software uses a subscription-based pricing model that typically charges customers based on factors such as organizational size, number of users, and specific modules or features required. The pricing structure is tailored for each deployment, with costs varying depending on the range of spend management functionalities chosen and service support levels requested.

“Coupa Delivers Exceptional Value Through Partnership, Innovation, and Ease of Use”

5.0
Nov 12, 2025
Our overall experience with Coupa has been excellent. It's made a difference in how we manage procurement - everything feels more connected, transparent, and easy to track. The platform is intuitive, which helped with quick adoption across teams. We have seen clear improvements in efficiency and spend visibility, and the integration with our other systems has been smooth. The CVM team has been incredibly supportive and responsive throughout. There were several instances where we had to defer releases due to business priorities and ongoing transformation programs, and they went out of their way to accommodate our needs and get approvals though. This level of dedication and flexibility really stands out and reflects the strong customer-first culture that Coupa has built.

“A useful tool that would deserve a better UI/UX”

Coupa is a very useful tool to manage requisitions and submit contracts for reviews but if you don't have guidelines from your company, it can easily be hard to manage.

Coupa Likes & Dislikes

Like

What stands out the most about Coupa is how user friendly and adaptable the platform is. It's easy for teams across different functions to use without much training, which really helped drive adoption and compliance. We also have the visibility and control that the platform provides - having real-time insights into spend, budgets, and supplier performance has made decision making faster and more data driven. The supplier network and collaboration tools are another major plus. They 've made onboarding and communication with suppliers smoother and more efficient, especially across global operations. Finally, Coupa's continuous innovation and strong customer support truly set it apart. The regular product enhancements, coupled with a proactive and responsive CVM and CAM team, show how invested Coupa is in its customers' success.

Like

I particularly like that besides the onboarding of a new vendor which is done via Graphite, everything is centralized in Coupa, which is immensely helpful for collaboration!

Like

What I appreciate most about Coupa is the level of ownership, visibility, and efficiency it brings to every part of our P2P process. Vendors have full control over their own profiles and onboarding, which has been a major advantage. This self-service model reduces back and forth emails and ensures cleaner, more accurate data. Coupa has empowered our internal teams. Each dept now has real-time visibility into the transactional data that impacts their P&L. They can review, reject, or request we dispute invoices at any point, creating stronger accountability. Reduction in supplier inquiries has been a huge benefit for AP. Suppliers can track the status of their invoices and payments at any time, which has decreased incoming inquiries and improved transparency for our partners. Coupa has created a streamlined, collaborative, and informative purchasing experience for everyone involved.

Dislike

Honestly, there isn't much to dislike. The platform works seamlessly, and whenever we've faced challenges, the Coupa team has been quick to support and resolve them effectively.

Dislike

The thing that comes first to mind is definitely the user experience. Managing contracts, requesting payment isn't fun at all so our experience would be much better if we could do it through an intuitive tool.

Dislike

The one feature I dislike is the amount of invoices we can pay to one vendor at a time. We are limited to 300 invoices per vendor. Our vendors have recently requested we pay in one larger lump sum, rather than multiple small payments - this results in multiple remittance emails/adding time on the supplier's end to reconcile payments. Exporting reports are limited to 200K lines per report - this is challenging when I am running a line level report (even on a monthly basis) example: accruals There have been times when I am logged into Coupa and navigating through the platform has been a bit delayed.

What Your Peers Are Saying About Coupa

IT Analyst
Are there any commercial off-the-shelf products that can help in the bidding/tendering process? I know Ariba, Coupa can, but we are looking for a tool that can help oil and gas downstream companies with these capabilities, especially on the sales side than purchase side. 
Finance Manager
I am interested in seeing the results.  They may come into play as we continually look to improve processes and remove risks, as applicable.  The process we have are more manual and are in the form of templates leveraging Microsoft tools.  Previous employers (retail) used Coupa.

Director of IT
Among the various contract lifecycle management tools available in the market, what do you think of various options like Docusign, SAP ARIBA, Icertis, Coupa? With a dominantly SAP based landscape, which could be a more suitable one? Consider it's a long term investment.
Director of Supply Chain
We are about to start a tender process for this and going to attempt to use the Buy Smart functionality. We also have a SAP based architecture for our ERP however it is unlikely we will go with Ariba mainly based on cost and complexity.

    One of our key objectives was to deliver a great user experience and intuitive UI which Coupa actually offers & it met our expectations. Coupa's automation and customization capabilities has reduced the manual overhead on our AP teams. We were able to use these capabilities and introduce additional controls in system which strengthened the system controls and helped us be compliant. For Admins specifically, it offers a very intuitive admin configuration which makes it super easy for new joiners to understand and use the system.
