Coupa Software Announces Fall Release of Coupa e-Procurement
Features a new user experience based on answering "What do you need?" with a single search that delivers all the answers.
10.09.2009 – Coupa Software Inc., developer of on-demand e-procurement software that helps companies control spending and generate savings, today announced the general availability of its October 2009 release, the company's fourth product release this year.
The new release features an improved homepage design that places important user-specific information at the employees' fingertips the moment they log into the system - including open "To Do" items like requisitions that need to be reviewed or requisitions awaiting buyer action, status of recent orders, and a chart that graphs spending for the selected period against budgets controlled by the user.
In addition, Coupa's Fall 2009 release adds prominence to Coupa's powerful search feature, and entices users with a large search box that prompts "What do you need?" Employees can type in their request, and the system will return all relevant catalog items, company buying policies, web forms (i.e. standardize forms for temporary labor or vacation requests), supplier punchout sites; and, completely unique to Coupa, a list of results from across the internet for the desired item. Using Coupa's iRequest feature, employees can add then add one of those items to their Coupa shopping cart, and submit them through the normal requisition and approval process, potentially saving the company thousands of dollars by identifying cost savings opportunities at the point of origination for the request.
Another major enhancement in the Fall 2009 release includes new features to support the extensibility of customization of the application. The Fall 2009 release features a new drag-and-drop editor to add or modify custom fields across the system. Users can customize requisitions, purchase orders, invoices, receipts, suppliers, users, items, contracts, departments and commodities. Plus, users can easily modify the attributes on certain standard transaction fields - for example, making the supplier, billing account and shipping address fields required on every requisition.
"It's really hard to practice smarter spending and capture savings when you don't have universal buy-in from your employees to use the tools you provide and follow the policies you set," said Jason Hekl, Coupa's Vice President of Marketing. "With Coupa's Fall 2009 release, we are one step closer to removing all the obstacles companies face to truly executing on their savings initiatives."
