SAN MATEO, Calif., Feb. 18, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Coupa Software
(NASDAQ: COUP) today announced that Casey's General Stores
selected Coupa to transform its procurement operations amid the
chain's significant growth. As the fourth-largest convenience store
retailer in the United States,
with 2,200 locations in 16 Midwestern states, Casey's was looking
to modernize its largely manual and paper-based procurement system
to create more visibility, control, and value for the company's
future.
"After joining Casey's, we set out to establish a digital
process for the procurement function and make it a self-service
capability for everyone at the company," said Jaime Robles, vice president of procurement and
sourcing at Casey's General Stores. "As part of the procurement
overhaul, we knew technology was going to be central to achieving
our goals, and after evaluating the market, we selected Coupa to be
our Business Spend Management partner."
Previously, Casey's relied on largely manual and paper-based
processes that were becoming more costly and inefficient,
especially as the company worked to grow and scale. With Coupa, the
company will be able to achieve full visibility, control, and
management of procurement spend while saving valuable time. Casey's
plans to run almost all of its procurement spend through Coupa,
having set ambitious goals for reducing costs and strengthening
relationships with suppliers. Additionally, Casey's employees will
be able to purchase the goods and services they need through
Coupa.
"We couldn't be more excited to welcome Casey's General Stores
into the Coupa community, bringing them best-of-breed solutions to
support their exponential growth," said Mark Riggs, chief customer officer at Coupa.
"As Casey's builds a foundation for procurement on Coupa's
comprehensive Business Spend Management platform, the impact will
be felt throughout their business and ensure future success and
resilience as the company continues to expand."
Robles expects that Coupa will help Casey's continue to
successfully navigate the COVID-19 landscape with a diversified
supplier network and more collaborative relationships with new and
existing suppliers. "Like the rest of the world, Casey's was not
immune to the supply chain disruptions that have resulted from
COVID-19," Robles said. "Coupa's risk management
capabilities alone have already been a game changer."
