Case Study: Dürr achieves €6M in strategic savings with Coupa Software

How Dürr Transformed Fragmented Procurement into €6M in Strategic Savings

Dürr, a global industrial manufacturing company with 18,000+ employees, faced fragmented procurement across three business units, duplicate contracts, and inconsistent supplier terms. After multiple failed SRM attempts, the company turned to Coupa Software and its configurable procurement platform to help unify processes and reduce complexity across its global operations.

Coupa Software implemented a phased rollout spanning source-to-contract, contract lifecycle management, supplier information management, risk, and automation capabilities. The result was €6 million in savings within six months, plus a centralized contract repository that exposed pricing inconsistencies and improved negotiation leverage. Coupa also helped Dürr eliminate silos, standardize workflows, and create a more transparent, efficient procurement organization.
