Coupa Software launches business spend management app marketplace

Business Spend Management (BSM) platform Coupa Software has launched the Coupa App Marketplace to give customers an easier and smarter way to maximise the power of the BSM platform.

The Coupa App Marketplace connects businesses with certified, pre-built solutions that simplify the process of tapping into a trusted global community of BSM partners.

As the business landscape becomes more complex, companies increasingly need innovative technology partners that help them deliver greater efficiency, agility and value.

Coupa’s focus on building an open BSM community helps businesses develop genuine partnerships that enable them to thrive in today’s environment.

Roger Goulart, executive vice president, Alliances and Business Development for Coupa, said that companies have emerged from the pandemic with a newfound appreciation for managing spend effectively and comprehensively.

“Coupa’s BSM platform is a core system of record for them, with the expectation that it can be extended to deliver even more value,” Goulart said.

“We launched the Coupa App Marketplace as a significant evolution of our open platform, to make it even easier for customers to discover and connect solutions from our rich partner community to empower businesses to spend smarter,” he said.

The Coupa App Marketplace is the first marketplace in the comprehensive BSM space that offers solutions to extend a customer’s existing tech stack and deepen their BSM capabilities. This allows businesses to easily share information, automate workflows, and conduct key tasks.

Solutions from the marketplace range from supply chain insights to supplier risk analysis, including travel and expense and IT management, which are designed to be adaptable, connected and efficient.

The Coupa App Marketplace features a growing range of apps for a vast array of business functions, from key partners such as Kofax, Vertex, SourceDay, Per Angusta, and The Smart Cube.

“We are proud to be a part of the Coupa App Marketplace and a trusted CoupaLink technology partner,” said Tom Kieley, CEO of SourceDay.

“Our team leverages Coupa’s open BSM platform to combine our leading supplier collaboration capabilities with Coupa’s comprehensive approach to direct and indirect spend,” Kieley said.

“Together, Coupa and SourceDay enable unbeatable supplier network collaboration, creating resilient supply chains, and fueling critical savings for our customers,” he said.
