What is Coupa?

What is Coupa?
Coupa is a cloud-based purchasing tool with an easy-to-use interface that will make it simpler for Stahl colleagues to request what they need (e.g. through catalogues), and for suppliers to connect with Stahl. This new way of working will facilitate all purchase orders for our indirect needs (non-raw material), and communications being managed through the Coupa Supplier Portal.

Advantages of using Coupa and the Coupa Supplier Portal (CSP) include:

• Privileged position for you as a preferred supplier that orders come your way

• Clear expression of needs through catalogue guided buying

• Faster processing of purchase orders

• It’s free! No added costs for suppliers

• No software or hardware to download

• Easily accessible via your e-mail or internet browser

• Self-serve tool for suppliers provided – easily update profiles and contact information

• Easy-to-use – receive all Purchase Orders in real time

• Decreased paperwork – no longer need to print or mail purchase orders
