Absolute shambles of a system Absolute shambles of a system. After a takeover we had to ditch our old ordering system and adopt Coupa, trying to place an order with a supplier now takes hours (sometimes days) compared to 3-4 minutes it used to take. Support is non existent and only work "business hours" which is only one of a multitude of problems. Engineers not able to obtain kit from wholesalers causing multiple site revisits, equipment arriving days late due to Coupa issues adding days on site and penalty charges. I would not be surprised one bit if Coupa caused my company to fold within a year.

If a customer uses this system - STOP NOW. Coupa claim all "issues" with service workflow are due to the Company they represent through their service (ie throw their customer under a bus) - they just implement their Customers workflows. The whole user experience is poor so there could be some truth to this. It could be that a Company with issues is predisposed to accept the lowest bid. Peas in a pod. I experienced data entry without error checking, valid information rejected, forms that fail to submit, illogical messages and workflows and mysterious solutions that only technical support can fix (without explanations). Then the workarounds start. Just take Coupa as a red flag and don't do anything until you have a PO - if your customer can wait that long! It might not be their fault it is hardly a professional service ready for prime time.

It was time consuming and frustrating It was time consuming and frustrating. There was an error in the bank account number and when I went back to change it, I couldn't! I asked for help, the answer I got was, I had to ask the customer to change it for me. Uhh, that didn't happen! Now I still have to wait for my auto pay to get rejected and then a check is mailed. Ugh!

Terrifying user experience… One of the companies I did some work for use Coupa for registering external consultants. Its as if it was written in the 1980s and designed to make life generally very hard. I have no idea why companies use these kinds of programs but I would probably not take on a consulting job for a company that used Coupa.

Probably the buggiest website i've ever… Probably the buggiest website i've ever used. Wasted a lot of time for no reason. Support are prompt though...
