With over 2,000 customers and nearly $3 trillion in cumulative spend under management, Coupa Software Inc. offers an intriguing glimpse into how companies will manage spending in the future.

Coupa’s payment management software and analytics platform for managing supply chains and business expenses will be the central focus during coverage by theCUBE, SiliconANGLE’s livestreaming studio, during the Coupa Inspire event, starting April 5 at 11 a.m. ET. (* Disclosure below.)

Growth potential

Coupa has built a compelling story for its future growth with its Business Spend Management solution. Founded in 2006, the firm’s current customers include Amazon.com Inc., BMW, Procter & Gamble Inc. and Walmart Inc. Yet its core penetration among Global 2000 firms is only 20%, so there is room for expansion.

Coupa’s BSM solution provides a cloud platform to manage enterprise transactions across procurement, payments and supply chain. The company’s “Inspire” gathering in Las Vegas will offer further insight into current payment processing trends and new products, and theCUBE will be on the ground to interview company executives and industry experts as part of the two-day event.

Coupa has pursued a three-pronged strategy encompassing full capture of spend, optimizing every organizational dollar for customers, and leveraging community value.

Coupa Pay provides users with end-to-end invoice traceability while reducing the need for supplier onboarding and payment infrastructure maintenance. The company optimizes spending through its supply chain offering, which allows users to design delivery networks and identify key shipping needs.

In February, Coupa unveiled its Community.ai initiative, which benchmarks data from across a user’s vendor base and provides automated insights to strike better deals. Buyers can identify favorable pricing and improve supplier selection to make the purchasing process more efficient.

“Coupa is really focused on business spend management, so they’re really trying to help companies reduce their costs,” said Ivana Delevska, founder and chief investment officer of SPEAR Alpha, during an interview with SiliconANGLE. “JetBlue uses it, Trane Technologies uses it. It’s very easy to adopt, and it drives real savings for these companies.”
