Coupa has been recognized by IDC MarketScape as a Leader in the Worldwide AI-Enabled Source to Pay (S2P) 2025 Vendor Assessment, positioning the company as a transformative force in the procurement sector. The assessment highlights Coupa’s ability to harness an integrated, cloud-native platform to streamline rapid innovation deployment and enhance global scalability for procurement operations worldwide.
The platform’s advanced AI capabilities are powered by a vast B2B commerce dataset comprising over $8 trillion in spend transactions from a 10-million strong community of buyers and suppliers. This extensive data foundation enables context-aware insights and prescriptive recommendations embedded throughout the source-to-pay process, providing procurement leaders with unprecedented intelligence for decision-making.
“As business leaders navigate uncertainty, success hinges on their ability to deploy innovative technologies to drive smarter decisions and measurable outcomes,” says Salvatore Lombardo, Coupa’s Chief Technology and Product Officer. “Coupa’s unified, design-to-pay platform arms leaders with a robust picture of their financial landscape, driving cost efficiency and significant bottom-line impact.”
The IDC assessment recognizes Coupa’s comprehensive functionality across eight core capabilities, including AI-driven procurement intelligence, comprehensive spend management framework, advanced fraud prevention technology, global compliance management, automated payment processing, smart contract lifecycle management, robust integration framework, and data-driven category strategy. These capabilities work together to optimize procurement and accounts payable processes while managing both direct and indirect spending.
“Coupa’s expansive global reach and adaptable, unified platform make it an ideal choice for organisations of all sizes seeking to streamline and enhance their procurement functions,” adds Patrick Reymann, Research Director at IDC. “Their solution is designed to maximise value and efficiency not just within procurement, but also across sourcing, invoicing, payments and beyond.”
The platform’s real-world impact is demonstrated through customer success stories like Grupo Herdez, where Chief Procurement Officer Javier Carnevali reports significant operational improvements. “With Coupa, we’ve streamlined over 14,000 sourcing events annually, improved spend visibility and achieved a 91% first-time match rate — reducing friction and building trust across our supply chain,” he explains.
This recognition extends beyond the S2P assessment, as Coupa has also been celebrated as a Leader in the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide AI-Enabled Contract Lifecycle Management Module 2025 Vendor Assessment and the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide AI-Enabled Procure To Pay 2025 Vendor Assessment, reinforcing its position as a comprehensive procurement technology leader in the AI-enabled marketplace.
