SAN MATEO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Coupa Software, the leading provider of innovative cloud spend optimization software that enables customers to reduce expenses and maximize profitability, today announced record-breaking sales, customer acquisitions and usage for fiscal year 2011.
2011 was another banner year for Coupa, with tremendous growth across the board in revenue, customers, spend under management and global expansion. 2011 revenues increased by more than 120 percent while users of the software also rose 100 percent.
“We are thrilled with our record revenue and customer growth,” said Rob Bernshteyn, CEO of Coupa. “It validates that the procurement and finance industries need a cloud-based solution that delivers real measurable results like Coupa does. In 2012, our customers will continue to inspire us to develop tools that help them spend responsibly.”
“The rapid adoption of Coupa in the market is indicative of how enterprises are embracing the cloud to get quick time-to-value from their applications,” said Constantine G. Limberakis, senior research analyst at the Aberdeen Group. “Coupa is a breath of fresh air for companies looking for an alternative to traditional procurement and expense management platforms that require long implementation times and extensive training. Essentially, Coupa has cracked the code on usability based on a walk-up user interface approach. I view this as a major reason for their accelerated growth and continued success.”
“We needed clear visibility into our spend and procure-to-pay processes,” said Matthew O’Malley, Procurement & Sourcing manager, Journal Communications. “We selected Coupa from an exhaustive list of providers because Coupa is the only procurement solution that makes it simple for our employees to use while providing clear visibility into our spend and processes.”
