Xylem cuts RFP prep time by 60%+ with Coupa

Xylem, a global water technology company, faced challenges due to disconnected systems and manual RFP processes across 55 countries. Using email and spreadsheets created data silos and slow collaboration, causing category managers to spend excessive time on administrative tasks instead of strategic work.

Implementing Coupa's AI-driven Sourcing Optimization platform, Xylem unified its procurement on a single system. This solution from Coupa standardized workflows and automated analysis. As a result, Xylem reduced RFP preparation time by over 60%, sourced $200 million across 12 RFPs, and achieved 100% adoption from its category managers, freeing them to focus on supplier strategy and innovation.
