Emirates Flight Catering Selects Coupa to Digitise its Business Spend
June 14 2017 - 08:30AM
Coupa Software (NASDAQ:COUP), a leader in cloud-based spend
management, today announced that Emirates Flight Catering has
chosen Coupa Procure-to-Pay (P2P) to obtain greater visibility into
its business spend and to streamline procurement processes across
its organisation, further building upon Coupa’s presence in the
Gulf region.
Operating in a huge growth market and struggling to achieve
operational efficiencies with its prior P2P system, Emirates Flight
Catering needed a new solution to automate its processes from
routine buying to e-invoicing, allowing employees to concentrate on
the more strategic and mission critical aspects of its business.
After conducting a rigorous examination of solutions available in
the market, Emirates Flight Catering selected Coupa’s P2P solution
due to the strength and agility of its product and the
responsiveness of the Coupa team.
“We spent a great deal of time evaluating solutions in depth as
we were looking for the best solution in the market. We’re
extremely confident that we have chosen the strongest possible
solution,” said Kieran Dowd, vice president of procurement at
Emirates Flight Catering. “Not only will Coupa provide us with
greater visibility into our current spend, but it will completely
transform our procurement practices, increase collaboration with
our suppliers and is able to be deployed within a quick time frame
which is vital to our business.”
Coupa’s open and collaborative approach with suppliers also was
a central factor in Emirates Flight Catering’s decision to choose a
P2P solution. Coupa does not charge supplier fees but instead
fosters an environment that supports and allows suppliers to be
engaged, enabled and integrated with Coupa P2P efficiently.
Born in the cloud, Coupa delivers a modern spend-management
platform that accelerates business by unifying processes across all
the ways employees spend money. These processes cover travel and
expense management, procurement, invoicing, and related
source-to-settle areas. Using the Coupa Open Business Network™, the
platform has connected more than three million suppliers and
delivers a powerful solution for businesses committed to
controlling their spend.
Ravi Thakur, senior vice president of services, customers
success and adoption at Coupa, highlighted the strength of Coupa’s
brand, and the company’s growing presence in the Gulf region, which
factored in making Coupa the winning provider for Emirates Flight
Catering.
“Emirates Flight Catering were looking for a comprehensive P2P
solution that it could rapidly and strategically implement within
its business with minimal disruption to daily operations. With its
business growing at an unprecedented rate, Emirates Flight Catering
required a robust spend management solution that can easily scale,”
Thakur said. “We’re very excited about the prospect of working
together with one of the biggest brands in the United Arab
Emirates.”
Headquartered in Dubai, Emirates Flight Catering is a subsidiary
of The Emirates Group. It provides catering and services for
Emirates Airlines and all other airlines based at Dubai
International Airport. The company currently provides 180,000 meals
