SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Coupa Software announced today a new quarterly record in company revenue in Q3 2015. Coupa’s focus on creating consumer-like, cloud-based, spend management and expense management software that employees across the organization want to use has fueled record results, driven by extreme focus on measurable customer success.
Propelled by enterprise demand for both consumer-driven innovations and true cloud-based technologies, Coupa achieved yet another consecutive quarter of customer subscription revenue growth, setting yet another new record for the company. Customers across the globe including Michael Kors and Dental Corporation of Canada chose Coupa for its industry-leading spend management and expense management solutions, fast deployment, ease-of-use and track record of generating savings.
Recognizing that simplicity and flexibility are critical to achieving full software adoption across employees and suppliers alike, Coupa in Q3 announced two key acquisitions to extend the reach and differentiation of Coupa’s spend management and expense management software. These acquisitions – TripScanner and InvoiceSmash – bring more freedom to business travel booking, accounts payable, and e-invoicing, in turn bringing an even greater proportion of spend under management for customers.
“Companies across the globe are increasingly recognizing the value of bringing the entirety of their spend under management – and the value of doing so by deploying software that reflects the consumer-driven innovations employees have come to expect,” said Rob Bernshteyn, CEO of Coupa. “Our customers are achieving real business success with our industry-leading cloud-based solutions, preparing them for whatever conditions the market throws their way. It is those real, measurable savings we drive for our customers that will continue to propel our leadership position in the industry.”
