Coupa and the San Francisco Giants Announce Expanded Partnership

Coupa's leading AI total spend management platform will transform the Giants finance and procurement operations

FOSTER CITY, Calif., Nov. 14, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Coupa, the margin multiplier company, today announced its expanded partnership with the San Francisco Giants to digitally transform and optimize business processes across finance and procurement. Coupa will unify the Giants procurement and finance lifecycle, replacing three disparate systems with its industry-leading, unified platform for total spend management.

Coupa will connect and automate processes across purchasing, supplier management, invoicing, expenses, and payments. With the support of Coupa, the Giants will reap the benefits that come from complete visibility and control over all spend in a single system and improve business efficiencies.

Coupa is now proud to count all three major sports franchises in the Bay Area as customers, including the San Francisco 49ers (National Football League), Golden State Warriors (National Basketball Association) and now the San Francisco Giants (Major League Baseball).

"We are thrilled to complete our sports 'trifecta' in the Bay Area by expanding our partnership with the Giants who join the 49ers and Warriors as highly valued Coupa customers," said John Frank, Coupa Chief Customer Officer. "By partnering with the Giants on their spend transformation, and replacing its intake solution from Zip and other legacy systems with one seamless platform, we'll help the Giants shatter silos and make margins multiply."

"With Coupa, we are now able to completely orchestrate our spend processes with one end-to-end platform from purchase to payment. Our procurement and finance teams can seamlessly collaborate with each other and our suppliers on one easy-to-use, unified platform. As a result, we'll make smarter, more profitable business decisions and drive efficiency-led growth across the business - hitting our digital spend transformation out of the park," said Lisa Pantages, Chief Financial Officer at the San Francisco Giants and Financial Women of San Francisco's 2024 Financial Woman of the Year.
