Case Study: Aggregate Industries achieves streamlined procurement and an 80% improvement in process time with Coupa Software

Aggregate Industries Streamlines Procurement With Coupa Invoicing

Aggregate Industries, a UK‑based manufacturer and supplier of construction materials (aggregates, asphalt, cement and ready‑mixed concrete) with 1,000–5,000 employees, faced procurement challenges from an ERP that lacked the functionality and structure needed for procurement excellence. The old system made it difficult to buy from national contracts and preferred suppliers, hampering compliance and efficient supplier adoption across a complex, diverse business.

By deploying Coupa Procurement and Coupa Invoicing — going live in just 12 weeks — Aggregate fast‑tracked supplier integration with no commercial impact and leveraged Coupa’s intuitive UX to drive adoption. The result: 60,000 purchase orders processed annually (7,000 through catalogs), a 40% reduction in maverick purchasing, a 15% increase in invoice matching rates and an 80% improvement in process time, with improved visibility breaking down supplier barriers.
