Coupa Acquires Tonkean: Accelerating AI Intake Systems

Coupa has announced its acquisition of industry-leading agentic intake and orchestration platform, Tonkean. 

With this acquisition, Coupa is now able to offer fully integrated agentic-as-a-service capabilities, adding agentic workflow automation and execution into its global network. 

“The acquisition of Tonkean is game-changing for Coupa and the market. For twenty years, we’ve built a global trade network that brings together buyers and sellers for the purpose of optimising trade and spend. To date, we’ve delivered more than US$300bn of value to that network and amassed a dataset of US$10trn,” says Leagh Turner, Coupa CEO.

“To deliver the promise of increasingly autonomous execution of transactions between buyers and suppliers, you need three main things: industrial-grade and unified orchestration, best-in-class buyer and supplier workflows and clean, trusted data. With the acquisitions of Rossum and Tonkean, in short order, we have now amassed all the assets to make this promise possible for both buyers and suppliers at a time when buying and selling is getting more complex and costly. We couldn’t be more excited to welcome Sagi and the Tonkean team to Coupa.

Coupa’s strategic acquisitions

This latest acquisition marks the fourth in recent months for Coupa, furthering its vision to build the world’s foremost agentic trade network. 

Cirtuo

At Coupa Inspire 2025, Coupa announced its acquisition of Cirtuo, a Croatian AI-driven category management platform, to advance autonomous procurement within its Total Spend Management framework. This strategic integration bridges the gap between long-term category strategy and daily execution. 

Scoutbee

In late 2025, Coupa signed a definitive agreement to acquire Scoutbee, an AI-powered supplier discovery platform, to build the world’s smartest sourcing network. Integrating Scoutbee’s advanced LLM search technology into Coupa's platform of 10 million users will streamline buyer-supplier matching, accelerate onboarding by automating up to 80% of data entry, and enhance risk and ESG intelligence.

Rossum

At Coupa Inspire 2026, CEO Leagh Turner announced Coupa's acquisition of Rossum, a market leader in intelligent document processing (IDP). Building on a partnership since 2024 that automated complex AP invoicing, this acquisition extends IDP across Coupa’s entire source-to-pay portfolio. 

Combined, they create a unified capability to deliver agentic trade and autonomous spend management.

"This is a deliberate, strategic step toward building the #1 agentic trade network and delivering autonomous spend management at speed and scale like no one else in the market," says Salvatore Lombardo, Chief Product and Technology Officer of Coupa. 

"We’ve assembled the ultimate procurement toolkit: a US$10trn data foundation, eyes to read any document, intelligence to source smarter, and now the ultimate engine to orchestrate modern, agentic work. Tonkean brings a 100% no-code process builder and 250+ native connectors that wrap seamlessly around customers’ existing architecture. This delivers advanced orchestration and unified integrations on day one with zero rip-and-replace. With Tonkean natively embedded in Coupa, customers get best-in-class orchestration and the best spend platform they already trust, in a single, unified agentic architecture."

AI-driven workflow automation and execution

Tonkean brings to Coupa a natural language interface that will allow users to submit and track requests, as well as an advanced framework for multi-agent orchestration and agent-to-agent (A2A) coordination. 

Combined, they execute complex workflows and replace manual handoffs to reduce cycle times by 50%, saving operations teams more than 30 hours a week. 

Additionally, suppliers can benefit from unified API integration that facilitates one-to-many connections, enabling them to grow their businesses faster.

“We couldn’t have created a more powerful combination in the market than joining forces with Coupa, unlocking tremendous value to customers far and wide,” adds Sagi Eliyahu, Co-Founder and CEO at Tonkean.

“With our industrial-grade intake and orchestration now serving as the backbone and foundation for their industry-leading agentic trade network and data, we will seamlessly connect buyers, sellers, and agents in a unified way to deliver autonomous trade in a way that no other company can match, and in turn drive exponential business value for customers. This massive opportunity greatly excites my team and me, and we are thrilled to join Coupa.”
