Case Study: Alta Devices achieves streamlined, user‑friendly procurement and faster approvals with Coupa Software

CFO at Fast Growing Solar Manufacturer My Day is Easier with Coupa

Alta Devices, a Sunnyvale-based maker of ultra-thin, high-efficiency solar cells, was growing quickly and struggling with a manual purchasing process that required chasing signatures and approvals. As headcount rose, the finance team needed a simple, scalable way to automate procurement without adding overhead.

They implemented Coupa’s procurement solution, which proved flexible and user-friendly—so much so that new hires self-serve via training.coupa.com and no on-site training was required. The result: faster approvals (even via phone), fewer interruptions to finance, smooth support for about 50 new employees, and unanimous user satisfaction.
