San Mateo, CA—Coupa, the leading AI-driven platform that helps you operate smarter and grow faster, today announced it delivered over $1 billion in billings for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2024. The Coupa platform manages more than $5 trillion in overall business spend. The company has helped global businesses achieve more than $175 billion in savings and working capital improvements over the past decade.

“Businesses today are looking for trusted partners to deliver digital transformations that deliver tangible value. Our recent recognition by Gartner as a Leader in its first-ever Magic Quadrant for Source-to-Pay Suites is a testament to the business value and operational confidence that Coupa’s AI-driven platform delivers,” said Leagh Turner, Coupa CEO.

“In 2023 alone, we helped our customer community unlock more than $30 billion in bottom-line savings. That’s real value that gets reinvested in innovation, customer service, and profitability. And it wouldn’t be possible without the greatest competitive edge that’s driving this company forward – our agile, passionate, and committed global team,” Turner said. 

Business highlights for the fiscal year: 

  • 300+ companies joined Coupa’s global community of 3,000+ customers. New customers include: Albemarle Corporation, Allwyn, Great Dane, Idahoan Foods, Mobico Group, Patterson-UTI, Penguin Random House, and The Scion Group.

  • Hundreds of new innovations launched, with a focus on AI and Gen AI. Surpassed 150+ issued and pending patents. Coupa continued to bolster its AI innovations to help businesses drive efficiencies at scale, mitigate risk, and improve profit margins. 

    For example, Coupa’s AI:
    • Protects customers from overpaying for goods and services across frequently purchased items, ocean freight, and full truckload bidding 
    • Identifies suspicious, potentially fraudulent transactions in real time, stopping them before they damage bottom lines

New Gen AI co-pilot features in development will make Coupa even easier to use, with smarter self-guided experiences, contract writing assistance, and recommendations to reduce supply chain risk. 

  • 25+ leading industry analyst report positions, 15+ G2 leader badges and positions, and 250+ 5-star G2 reviews. Coupa’s AI-driven platform continues to be recognized for automating and connecting purchasing, sourcing, supply chain, and financial management for a unified view of real-time insights for easier decision making.

    Earlier this month, Coupa was chosen as a Leader in the inaugural Gartner Magic Quadrant for Source-to-Pay Suites. Coupa’s position validates the company’s ability to execute for customers, as well as the platform’s completeness of vision.  

    Coupa was named first on Procurement Magazine’s Top 10 Generative AI Platforms.
