Case Study: Southcentral Foundation achieves 100% audit compliance and $1.3M savings with Coupa Software

Southcentral Foundation saves $1.3M to reinvest in the community

Southcentral Foundation, a nonprofit healthcare organization serving 65,000 Alaskan Natives and American Indians, struggled with coordinating procurement and finance across remote Alaskan locations, manual spend processes, and strict government-to-government audit and regulatory requirements that limited visibility and control.

By implementing Coupa’s cloud-based BSM suite (Procurement, Contracts, Invoicing and Single Sign-On), SCF digitized and automated approvals, gained audit-ready records, and achieved strong user adoption with minimal training. The organization is now 100% audit compliant and paperless, saved $1.3M to reinvest in the community, and significantly reduced late fees.
