Case Study: Lear Corporation achieves visibility and control over $1.5B in spend with Coupa Software

Auto Parts Leader Drives BSM Success with Coupa

Lear, a global leader in automotive Seating and Electrical Systems with 257 locations worldwide, faced fragmented business spend management after years of growth and acquisitions. The company struggled with inconsistent sourcing, procurement and contract processes, limited spend visibility, and paper-based workflows, all amid intense industry pressures to be more agile and cost‑efficient.

Working with Coupa, Lear consolidated its BSM processes onto a single platform (Procurement, Contracts, Sourcing and Coupa Advantage), rolling it out to 189 locations in 18 months and integrating 10 ERP systems. The result was 100% user adoption, visibility into over $1.5B of spend, elimination of manual procurement in Europe, and more than $0.5B of transparent spend across converted locations.
