Case Study: Darling Ingredients achieves 50% faster payment processing and centralized global treasury with Coupa Software's Coupa Treasury

Darling Ingredients Gains Time and Control With Coupa Treasury

Darling Ingredients, a century‑old global producer of sustainable natural ingredients with about 10,000 employees and operations in 200+ locations, needed to build a central treasury after acquisitions and organizational changes. The company faced the challenge of consolidating bank relationships and global payments for 120 entities—handling billions in annual payments across hundreds of accounts—into a single system with a tight 6–8 week implementation window.

Working with Enigma and Coupa, Darling implemented Coupa Treasury with SWIFT gpi for Corporates, established direct bank connections, integrated payment and salary files with the ERP, and adopted MT940/MT101 reporting and dual approvals. The centralized solution delivered straight‑through processing, stronger controls and fraud protection, improved cash positioning, and standardized reconciliation—cutting payment processing and data reconciliation time by more than 50%.
