Case Study: Leukemia & Lymphoma Society achieves $2.4M in annual savings and full procurement visibility to fund cures with Coupa Software

Leukemia and Lymphoma Society's Savings Help Fund Finding Cures

The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS), the largest nonprofit funder of blood‑cancer research, needed to modernize procurement and finance to better support its mission of finding cures. An outdated, decentralized system with limited visibility led to duplicated buyer effort, compliance risks, and difficulty aligning spend with budgets.

LLS implemented Coupa Procure, Invoice, Pay and Analytics (including Supplier Information Management) to streamline supplier-to‑requisition-to‑PO workflows, onboard roughly 400 suppliers per month, and gain real‑time spend visibility. The organization saved $2.4M in one year, achieved 100% Phase I adoption, reduced duplication and compliance issues, and redeployed the savings back into research and patient programs.
