PwC helps transform finance and operations with Coupa's Business Spend Management Platform.

Enabled by Coupa’s industry-leading Business Spend Management Platform (BSM), PwC and Coupa help clients unify supply chain, procurement, payments and treasury capabilities into a single solution that can help increase value across these functions. We can help transform clients into leading source-to-pay organizations through deep cross-functional and Coupa knowledge, accelerating value realization with a focus on adoption, change management and supplier enablement.

“At PwC, the differentiated value we can bring to Coupa deployments comes from our highly skilled team who have built their careers serving the functions of procurement, supply chain and finance, and have developed the technology skills alongside the functional. It’s not just about technology. Deploying Coupa can be the easier part. Successful projects are often the result of engaged and committed stakeholders, putting user experience at the forefront, common-sense design, process standardization aligned with good practices and a proper change management program that includes more than training to help drive user and supplier adoption.”
