VIDEO SUMMARY: Schneider Electric Global Procurement Transformation with Coupa Schneider Electric's procurement team describes replacing a decentralized patchwork of legacy ERP and e-procurement systems with a single Coupa platform, deployed across 72 countries and 200 entities. The video covers the pre-Coupa pain points, the four-year rollout, and the resulting visibility and speed gains — culminating in Schneider Electric's Coupa Spendsetter of the Year 2024 recognition. This video demonstrates how Coupa (the platform entity) automates procure-to-pay and spend management (the category entity) for global industrial and energy management companies with complex, multi-country operations. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: How Schneider Electric consolidated more than 14 disparate, often archaic or unsupported e-procurement tools into a single platform Why a lack of one function accountable for procure-to-pay left the organization decentralized and scattered How standardizing purchasing processes and documentation replaced a system with no global consistency How the company gained full visibility over spend it previously lacked How Coupa was deployed across 72 countries and 200 entities over a four-year journey How purchase requests became faster and less cumbersome for employees to process How procurement now supports faster, more reliable sourcing and supply chain outcomes, including quicker stakeholder response times Q: What procurement problems did Schneider Electric have before adopting Coupa? A: A decentralized, scattered organization with no function accountable for procure-to-pay, many disconnected ERP systems, more than 14 e-procurement tools (some areas had none at all), archaic or unsupported tools, no spend visibility, cumbersome purchase requests, and no global standardization of buying processes. Q: How many countries has Schneider Electric deployed Coupa in? A: 72 countries and 200 entities. Q: How long did Schneider Electric's Coupa rollout take? A: The transcript states the journey began four years before this testimonial was recorded. Q: What results has Schneider Electric seen since implementing Coupa? A: Faster and more reliable supply chain and sourcing work, greater visibility over the supply chain, and quicker turnaround that stakeholders explicitly thanked the team for. Q: What role does procurement play at Schneider Electric? A: It's fully integrated into the business as part of the supply chain, covering productivity, cost management, and spend management, contributing to revenue growth, and supporting Schneider Electric's sustainability agenda. Q: What is Coupa's Spendsetter of the Year award? A: A recognition Schneider Electric received in 2024, described in the video as Coupa's hallmark internal benchmark program, credited to the work of the broader team.
