Community-powered AI insights provide recommendations for items that other Coupa customers are procuring to surface even more savings opportunities. Coupa has the added benefit of leveraging its network (CSN).
Ariba has upped its game with Guided Sourcing, however it’s still in infancy and not widely adopted yet. Operationalising contracts is supported well on both but defining them at purchasing organisation level (especially for SAP customers) is slightly more difficult on Coupa.īoth products are well matched on sourcing features, however Coupa’s UI seems intuitive and the advanced CSO (optimisation engine) seems better than Ariba in complex optimisation scenarios. However, on Ariba, task-based process and more granular access control within contracts allow greater control. Comparing CLMA with Ariba’s Contract Management, both provide similar features, but Coupa has Machine Learning features built in within contract authoring. Smaller organisations can also take the benefit of ‘Coupa Advantage’ where Coupa through its aggregation capabilities has negotiated a better price for many products and services available on catalogs.Ĭoupa’s standard offering is more suited for operational contracts, but the full features of contract authoring & process is through CLMA (Contract Lifecycle Management Advanced) module. If your organisation intends to use the full P2P suite, then Coupa has better features like customisation of Order layouts (you only get one on Ariba). For tail spend management, Spot Buys are supported on both, but Coupa additionally supports Amazon in some EU countries and UK.įor professional buyers the products are fairly matched in terms of features, but Ariba has launched POD (Procurement Operations Desk) allowing control and insight over spend and workloads. However certain features like online ERP budget check, or visual presentation of category tiles is better in Ariba. if most of your users are occasional users, the complexities of the requisition screens are well hidden away and just the important information is presented on the screen. This is not a deal breaker though as Coupa’s UI is very clean and simple.
For a non-professional end user, both products offer regular catalogues, ad hoc requests, customisable forms, quick quotation etc for the users, with policy guidance.įrom a look and feel perspective, Ariba with its new Guided Buying tiles seems more intuitive and can enforce policies to really guide the user.
