Case Study: Global Auto Parts Manufacturer and Supplier Company achieves $50M in savings in 18 months with Coupa Software

Auto Parts Supplier Optimizes eTenders with Coupa

A global auto parts manufacturer and supplier with 40,000+ employees and 78B kr revenue rolled out a new ERP across 100 countries but found its native RFx capabilities inadequate. With no historical purchasing data and suppliers forced to provide missing information, leadership insisted any new sourcing solution must fund itself.

The company chose Coupa Sourcing Optimization for its intuitive, template-driven data collection and advanced analytics to enable category-level, global sourcing. Using Coupa they allocated $500M across 20 tenders, saved $50M in the first 18 months (including ~10% on the first seven tenders), achieved rapid supplier adoption and highly structured data, and funded additional staff and budget while expanding sourcing to transportation and MRO.
