Managing spend is crucial for maintaining profitability and operational efficiency. The software of Coupa, a leader in Business Spend Management (BSM), offers comprehensive solutions designed to optimize your company’s procurement processes.

Why indirect spend management matters

Indirect spend refers to the procurement of goods and services that are not directly tied to the production of your core products, such as office supplies, marketing services, and travel expenses. Despite being a significant portion of total spend, indirect spend often remains overlooked and poorly managed, leading to inefficiencies and unnecessary costs.

Key trends in B2B spend management highlight the growing importance of:

  • Data-Driven Decision Making: Leveraging analytics to gain insights into spending patterns and identify areas for improvement.
  • Supplier Collaboration: Building strong relationships with suppliers to enhance value and innovation.
  • Automation and Efficiency: Implementing automated systems to streamline procurement processes and reduce manual intervention.
  • Sustainability: Focusing on sustainable procurement practices to meet corporate social responsibility goals.
