Case Study: Woodward Inc. achieves immediate control, visibility, and $7.6M+ savings with Coupa Software

Woodward Inc. Gains Immediate Control, Visibility, and Savings

Woodward Inc., a Fort Collins–based designer and manufacturer of control systems for aircraft and heavy engines with 5,000–10,000 employees, faced fragmented data and limited spend visibility due to multiple, outdated ERPs that were difficult to learn and navigate—especially for spend on credit cards or in different systems.

By implementing Coupa Procure, Coupa Invoice, and Coupa Spend Analysis, Woodward consolidated purchasing into one streamlined platform, gaining immediate visibility, improved compliance, and strong user adoption. The company achieved more than $7.6M in savings in one year, rejected over $255K in unnecessary spend, and reached 86% electronic invoicing.
