I am a contractor who has done work for a large company. This large company proudly announced that they were moving to Coupa at the start of the year. The user interface is awful, it says I need to add an address. I added an address at the start of the process, but it won't let me use that address from the invoice. My profile says its 58% complete, but I can't move on from the bits I've already done, which means - to me - it must be completed. Every step you get told that the process would be easier if I paid for Coupa, why should I have to pay in order to get paid?!? This whole system is beyond a joke, and it looks so unprofessional! Avoid!! Seriously not worth the time or money!!! I've honestly spent more time trying to sort this out, than I spent on the actual job I'm trying to get paid for. This whole system is a joke and it may now lead to my invoice payment being delay. Ultimately, if the company continue to use Coupa, I will no longer do business with them, and I'll make sure others avoid it too. Sort it out Coupa!

Apparently my company never read any of these reviews before deciding on Coupa. I am an end user and my experience has been short but painful. I think it is a combination of Coupa and our IT department unwillingness to support the end user. Coupa is very slow to respond. Old AP software support responded in hours. Coupa takes days. Plus our IT can only point to the manuals which leads me to believe that our IT was never well trained by Coupa. Certainly more difficult than our old software but Coupa does have cute little icons like trucks. Almost 2 weeks and I still don't know if my first invoice to be paid is actually processed. In the real world my 3 questions would have been answered in 10 minutes and I could be up and running. But, alas, in the Coupa/remote world I turn on my computer each morning just hoping for email or zoom that will answer my questions. Hasn't happened yet. Hopefully things will improve.

Really poor on-line help advise. Now have an account locked out for connections requests for 30 days, and there is nothing they can do! It was due to their advise! Also, they are unable to do a simple thing as update my email address without me having to contact all my customers and get them all at once to simultaneously change their ends and send new connection requests. Absolutely stupid!

Having been involved trying to implement a Coupa IT system, I have been appalled at the lack of experience they appear to have. Even basic functions such as initial high level specifications and gap analysis between the existing system and Coupa have been totally absent. It feels like what has been asked for by the vendor has never been attempted before. I will think twice next time I get involved with this cowboy outfit

One of the companies I did some work for use Coupa for registering external consultants. Its as if it was written in the 1980s and designed to make life generally very hard. I have no idea why companies use these kinds of programs but I would probably not take on a consulting job for a company that used Coupa.

They are a horrible company to do business with as a vendor and as a contractor!!

Found this really frustrating and time consuming. It's written in some weird hybrid language, instructions are meaningless, form filling is repetitive and when you've finally completed everything you have no idea if anything has been registered or received by the client.

THis lot are money-grubbing shysters. I've never come across a system more willfully impenetrable. They must get bonused by their clients because so many suppliers just give up and go and shoot themselves. An absolute disgrace
