As associations grow and expand their activities, they need accurate, responsive, and easy-to-use financial management. Coupa offers them its ecosystem of spend management tools, enabling them to automate key operations, track purchases in real time, control supplier risks, and meet compliance requirements that are becoming more stringent every year. Drawing on the experience gained from thousands of companies such as SalesForce that use its platform, Coupa combines autonomous AI agents, a network of more than 10 million buyers and suppliers, and its flagship applications in a single platform that naturally automates the entire purchasing process and creates a new way of collaborating with partners. In total, the California-based company has saved its customers more than $273 billion. It is precisely this ability to manage complex environments that Coupa is now putting at the service of leading humanitarian organizations, such as Save the Children International.
Operating in 110 countries, this British NGO processes more than 4,000 transactions per month through more than 120 banking partners. Coupa enables it to track, secure, and automate all of these flows with unprecedented accuracy. More than 97% of transactions are now integrated electronically. This control has been decisive in emergency situations, such as the implementation of a new payment system in three days during the escalation of the conflict in Ukraine. By optimizing its cash flow and reducing the time spent on administration, the organization can redirect more resources to its educational, health, and child protection programs.
Other organizations are following suit. The ACLD, an association dedicated to people with learning and developmental disabilities, has modernized its expense management to free up time for support services. The Charter School Growth Fund, which supports more than 1,600 schools serving over 725,000 students, also relies on Coupa to improve the reliability of its financial controls and process a large volume of grants and contracts with a small finance team.
The American company is also expanding its impact through the commitment of its own teams. The Coupa Cares program mobilizes thousands of volunteer hours around the world each year. This year, the group's 3,000 employees supported 31 associations in 18 countries, including tree planting in Germany, blood collection in India, and support for cancer patients in Ireland.
