Case Study: Greif achieves $3.5M in annual savings and improved spend visibility with Coupa Software

Happy With Savings, Greif Counts on Coupa for Future Expansion

Greif, a global leader in industrial packaging with 10,000–25,000 employees, needed a scalable procurement system to manage a diverse supply chain and drive bottom-line savings as it expanded into Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. Poor visibility, limited strategic sourcing, and unnecessary spend were preventing the company from optimizing costs.

Greif implemented Coupa Procurement, Invoice, Pay, and Analytics, managing 97% of indirect spend through the platform. That combination of better visibility, supplier adoption driven by strong UX, and data-driven sourcing led to $1.2M in unnecessary spend rejected and $3.5M saved in one year, delivering scalable savings for future growth.
