The IDC MarketScape named Coupa as a Leader based on its strategies and capabilities. The report notes that "Coupa offers a single, integrated platform built natively in the cloud with a single code base, ensuring rapid deployment of innovations and ease of global scalability.

"As business leaders navigate uncertainty, success hinges on their ability to deploy innovative technologies to drive smarter decisions and measurable outcomes," said Salvatore Lombardo, Coupa Chief Technology and Product Officer. "Coupa's unified, design-to-pay platform arms leaders with a robust picture of their financial landscape, driving cost efficiency and significant bottom-line impact, enabling strategic growth initiatives to optimize business processes, allowing for higher order work. For today's buyers and suppliers to build supply chain resilience, companies must identify and secure alternative sources of critical materials. By partnering with or investing in a vast supplier network like Coupa's, they can help secure future availability. This helps reduce exposure to geopolitical risk, tariff and price volatility, and regulatory bottlenecks, making their companies more resilient."

"Coupa's expansive global reach and adaptable, unified platform make it an ideal choice for organizations of all sizes seeking to streamline and enhance their procurement functions. Their solution is designed to maximize value and efficiency not just within procurement, but also across sourcing, invoicing, payments, and beyond," said Patrick Reymann, Research Director, Procurement and Enterprise Applications, IDC Analyst.
