Coupa e-procurement implementation
For this global payments and technology company, the user experience is everything—the fixed compass point around which a future of cashless, frictionless transactions revolves. When the leadership of the procurement organization discovered less-than-acceptable levels of user satisfaction inside the company, it leapt into action. KPMG was asked to bring the company’s global procurement model up to its own usability standards, using Coupa cloud technology.
Building on earlier company initiatives to standardize and globalize procurement, KPMG helped our client design and build a solution that integrates people, processes, and technology into a user-centric whole. The global organization has gained the controls and transparency it needs to make strategic procurement decisions. And inside the workplace, 20,000 employees enjoy the same kind of experience they receive when using their company’s products in their daily lives.
This client benefitted from KPMG's consumer-informed, end-user focus to process and technology challenges, including benchmarked data from thousands of organizations.

Leading organizations understand that employee expectations for user ease and functionality are conditioned by their experiences as consumers outside the workplace. We bring a consumer-informed, end-user focus to process and technology challenges, including benchmarked data from thousands of organizations.
KPMG uses technology alliances with Coupa and other cloud procurement platforms to deliver immediate product and company insight to clients. They benefit from strong day-to-day working relationships that include hundreds of jointly undertaken cloud migrations.
Clients who undertake strategic procurement initiatives want and value both granular technical insights as well as a thorough understanding of procurement leading practices. KPMG has deep knowledge of configurations and integrations while also being a leader in areas such as strategic sourcing, contract management, supplier management, data analytics, organization design, and category management.
When client leadership teams stake out ambitious goals for procurement change, the prebuilt solutions, roadmaps, and accelerators of KPMG frameworks like Powered Enterprise help them get there quickly, leapfrogging generic challenges to arrive at tangible results.
