Our take
In 2006, Coupa was created to be a provider of business spending management (BSM) services. Since then, it has grown into its niche with a comprehensive platform that enables companies to gain greater control over their spending, supply networks, chain optimisation, liquidity management and payment solutions.
Coupa has been recognized as a leading brand in third-party risk management (TPRM). Using AI software, its TPRM software takes data from hundreds of sources and generates risk flags across the entire platform, informing the user’s processing decisions.
TPRM integrates into Coupa’s business spending management systems to provide one comprehensive platform, a feat that gives it a definitive edge when it comes to secure management of company funds. Most recently, the company acquired intelligent document processing partner, Rossum, in a move set to strengthen its source-to-pay capabilities and expand AI-powered invoice automation across the wider platform.
