Case Study: Theravance Biopharma US, Inc achieves 100% P2P compliance and $3.1M savings with Coupa Software

Biopharma Company Scales up with Automated AP $3.1M saved in 6 months and 100% compliance

Theravance Biopharma, a mid-sized life sciences company operating in the US and Ireland, was expanding rapidly but constrained by paper-based, time-consuming AP and invoicing processes and strict regulatory requirements (Sunshine Act, SOX) that demanded rigorous spend reporting and audit readiness.

Theravance deployed Coupa’s cloud Business Spend Management (Procurement, Contracts, Invoicing) to automate procure-to-pay, provide real-time spend visibility, and integrate with its ERP. The result: $3.1M saved in employee time in six months, invoice and approval cycles nearly four times faster (a 73% reduction in approval time), 100% P2P compliance, faster audit reporting and reduced IT support tickets.
