Coupa Sets New Standard for Ease of Use in Business Software<br />New Spring ’11 Release Drives Smarter Spending Practices Across Businesses Everywhere<br />SAN MATEO, Calif. – May 18, 2011 – Today, Coupa Software sets a new standard for ease of use and adoption in business software with the latest release of its category-defining Cloud Spend Management platform. The company’s Spring ‘11 release introduces rich feature advancements to empower entire organizations to use a common platform for e-procurement and expense management. With Coupa, business executives have greater visibility into and control over corporate spending practices, giving them an effective platform to curb overspending. <br />“We’re making the Coupa experience as easy to navigate and use as Google, Facebook and Mint.com. We’re doing this because we believe systematic spend management leads to real business impact – to the tune of up to a several percent reduction in operating expenses. This can’t happen without software that anyone can use,” said Rob Bernshteyn, CEO of Coupa Software.<br />Controlling spending is a considerable challenge for companies of all sizes. The nation’s largest industries squander billions of dollars each year on everything from technology to marketing services to office supplies and other categories of indirect spending. Coupa offers companies a systematic approach to procurement and expense management to foster a culture of personal accountability and encourage smarter spending practices across all employees. With Coupa, companies realize massive reductions in their operating expenses, up to several percent in some cases. Also being announced today, the company is now offering new subscribers a success guarantee: control your spend with Coupa and cut one percent from your operating expenses within six months or the service is free (see corresponding release, quot;
Coupa Guarantees 1% Reduction in OpEx within 6 Months” for more information).<br />“Several enterprise solutions are not user friendly and tailored to the everyday business user. I don’t believe it has to be overly complicated,” said Mike Wilding, Chief Procurement Officer at Rent-A-Center. “Coupa gets it. Since subscribing last year, we continue to be impressed by the software’s ease of use and cutting-edge innovation. User adoption is of major concern when investing in any system meant to be used by an entire organization. With Coupa, this has not been a concern for me.”<br />Coupa has purposefully designed its interface to rival the simplicity and ease of use of many of the leading consumer websites today, such as Google, Facebook and Mint.com. The Spring ‘11 release introduces over a dozen new features and usability innovations that minimize the change management risks often associated with a broad software deployment and streamline the requisitioning, review and approval processes. New enhancements allow:<br />,[object Object]
To-Do List functionality for users to review pertinent information and take immediate action to approve, reject or hide purchase requests or expense reports with a single click.
Improved browse functionality and preferred vendors by commodity to make it easier to guide users to content from preferred suppliers, as well as enhanced search functionality to return matching catalog items first, discouraging users from entering a freeform request when approved content is preferred.
