For example, it may be fine to manage a heavy MRO spend, and still do requisition to pay on a $10M-$20M contingent workforce spend, it probably is not suited to manage a $100M+ services requirement under an MSP model. Even so, it may not be the best in every space or for your indirect needs. While you could certainly execute the occasional direct materials PO, to my knowledge I don't expect it to t do S&OP or master scheduling and inventory management particularly well, and has no capability that I am aware of for managing a complex Bill of Materials.įor indirect specifically, if I had to do a clean sheet re-design, I might try to do much more in Coupa, because I believe it is best of breed for indirect procurement (in a rapidly evolving marketplace with some worthy competitors). I agree with your observation that Coupa is designed as an indirect P2P module, not direct. In addition, their B2B Marketplace application is truly best in class. We aren't running full Coupa today, but are using some modules for indirect procurement only. That approach seems to be cyclical in nature given that as recently as 5 years ago we were focused on all-in-one on-premise solutions. Overgeneralization is dangerous, but we learned in our discovery and design process that many medium to large companies are moving to fit-for-purpose Cloud based (emphasis on Cloud) applications with broad scope (logistics, indirect) rather than trying to do it all in core ERP. I am leading a large indirect transformation.
