Case Study: BT Sourced achieves end-to-end spend visibility and strategic savings with Coupa Category Strategy

BT scales procurement strategy across £13B in spend with Coupa

BT Sourced, a standalone procurement company within BT Group, faced the challenge of operating a startup model within a complex enterprise. They lacked a centralized platform for spend visibility and needed to shift their category managers from operational tasks to a more strategic focus. To address this, they turned to vendor Coupa Software and implemented Coupa Category Strategy.

The solution provided by Coupa unified 95 global category managers on a single, centralized platform. This implementation achieved end-to-end visibility across £13 billion in annual spend. The results included the delivery of data-driven strategies for measurable cost savings and improved revenue forecasting across global sourcing. Coupa enabled the procurement team to develop high-quality category strategies that generate savings and present new opportunities.
