Webinar: Streamlining Buying with Coupa & Amazon Business
For every business, streamlining the purchasing experience is of paramount importance, helping to unlock significant cost savings in procurement operations.
Having full visibility over the procurement lifecycle is no longer optional, but a critical requirement.
Thanks to a partnership between Coupa and Amazon Business, businesses now have unprecedented tools at their disposal to streamline purchasing decisions and truly benefit from their value chains.
It's a collaboration that ensures buyers enjoy a straightforward workflow, leaving them well placed to optimise costs and provide visibility into expenditures – absolutely essential if organisations are to ensure their ongoing competitiveness viability.
In an upcoming, exclusive webinar hosted by Procurement Magazine, find out how Coupa and Amazon Business joined forces to deliver a streamlined purchasing experience for the Veterinary Emergency Group (VEG).
Join us on Wednesday, 13 November from 5pm GMT for Streamlining the Buying Experience with Amazon Business & Coupa.
Michael van Keulen, CPO at Coupa, and Mobeen Khan, Director of BD and Partnerships at Amazon Business, will be joined during the webinar by Brittany Caruso, Director of Accounts Payable at VEG.
Since 2014, VEG has been reinventing the emergency experience for people and their pets. Recently, the business launched a bold project to expand beyond its 40 existing locations in the US.
As a result, VEG needed to improve its business buying process and sought a solution that would provide end-to-end spend control.
Brittany will discuss how Coupa and Amazon Business helped VEG simplify purchasing, increase user adoption, manage spend and discover new cost-saving opportunities.
