Case Study: Barclays achieves procurement transparency and faster regulatory reporting with Coupa Software

Barclays Gains Transparency In Complex Procurement Process

Barclays, a global banking and investment firm headquartered in London with more than 75,000 employees, faced rising procurement priorities driven by regulatory and compliance changes. The bank needed better cost control, reduced backend procurement work, and modernization to achieve OCI compliance, but lacked transparency across third‑party and contract spend.

Barclays deployed Coupa Procure, Coupa Invoice and Coupa Analytics to centralize spend and supplier data on the cloud. The solution delivered clear visibility and auditability—achieving 92% on contract spend and 84% spend under management—streamlined regulatory reporting and cut the time to produce third‑party liabilities to 24 hours, improving compliance and control.
