Joao Paulo da Silva shared thisI love the commitment of "We will go live in 8 weeks from contract signature for a fixed and competitive price powered by Coupa software 💥."Joao Paulo da Silva shared thisProcurement Transformation delivered in 8 weeks. Yes, that is right. If you have spend between €50M and €500M/yr and believe that your Source to Pay process should be simplified, standardized, integrated and digitized, you are the right customer for us. We will go live in 8 weeks from contract signature for a fixed and competitive price powered by Coupa software 💥. That is something that nobody else can do. And this has always been our objective when we started Digital Procurement Now….. More information is here: https://dpnow.ai/services/ The best business book I ever read is ‘Blue Ocean Strategy’ which talks about developing a proposition that no one else can offer. I think we got this now. BTW, the competition of our proposition is doing nothing and keep procurement as is: siloed, slow and cumbersome. #blueocean #transformation #procurement Adelin Apostu Ariana Moscaritolo-Rodriguez Jules Ladagnous

The Coupa programs winning right now aren't the ones with the most modules — they're the ones connecting Coupa to the rest of the business through panel apps, iframes, AI agents and integration-as-a-service.

Joao Paulo da Silva reacted on thisJoao Paulo da Silva reacted on thisIf a single $0.50 component can halt a $50,000 production line, why are we still sourcing Direct Materials in disconnected spreadsheets? In my 19 years in this space, I’ve seen that Direct Sourcing isn't just a negotiation; it’s an engineering challenge. When you are managing a Bill of Materials (BOM) with hundreds of thousands of items across multiple global sites, "Good Enough" sourcing doesn't just lose you money, it risks your entire operational continuity. In Volume 2 of The Resilience Blueprint, I dive into how we move from part-level bidding to true BOM optimization. We’ll explore: Engineering Certainty: Using the Coupa BOM Service to map thousands of parts to specific products and production sites with surgical precision and then push them to Coupa Sourcing Optimization. The Power of "What-If": Why scenario modeling across half a million data points is the only way to build your supply chain. Structural Resilience: Why the goal of Direct Sourcing isn't to find the lowest price, it's to ensure the line never stops.
