Case Study: NEC Europe achieves compliance and €2M in savings with Coupa

NEC Europe saves €2M in 12 months with Coupa

NEC Europe, a regional provider of IT products and services, faced challenges in achieving global compliance and gaining spend visibility across its offices in 30 countries. With complex multi-currency spending and over 1,000 employees, the company needed to make better and faster procurement decisions. To address this, they turned to the Coupa Business Spend Management platform.

By implementing Coupa's solutions, including Coupa Procure, Invoice, Contracts, and Analytics, NEC Europe achieved total compliance for multiple currencies and tax codes. The vendor, Coupa, helped them visualize expenditure in weeks, train over 110 users in four months, and secure €2 million in savings within 12 months. This result elevated the procurement team to a strategic front-office status, with requisition approvals becoming twice as fast within six months.
