“It is a great honor to be consistently recognized by Gartner for Procure-to-Pay (P2P) suites. We believe this is a great validation of the customer-centric innovations we have developed together with our Business Spend Management (BSM) community,” said Raja Hammoud, Executive Vice President of Products at Coupa. “With increasing economic volatility, it’s more important than ever for businesses to have transparency and control over every dollar spent. They also need to ensure compliance and reduce risk and fraud.”
“Coupa’s BSM platform brings together powerful technologies to connect teams and achieve new levels of performance and purpose. And with real-time insights from nearly $4 trillion in aggregate business spend, our clients are empowered with community-driven recipes that accelerate their success,” Hammoud said.”
Kantar is the world’s leading data, insights, and consulting company, providing insights and actionable recommendations to clients worldwide. In 2019, Bain Capital acquired a majority stake in Kantar from WPP. With this transition, the company needed to build its own standalone procurement organization to create greater value for the company.
“One of our goals in designing the procurement organization at Kantar was to build on the use of data to drive our sourcing and sourcing strategies, which ultimately led to our choice of Coupa,” said Stephen Day, chief procurement officer at Kantar. “The results so far are impressive. We’re now using our data to ensure a better view of who we’re doing business with, what we’ve linked to our sourcing strategy. We have set a goal for 12.5% of our spend to come from measurable, diverse and inclusive suppliers by 2025, and our data has enabled us to already be halfway there, helping us to make a real impact.”
