Expense management add-on for ERP systems.
Coupa Expenses for Salesforce is part of the Coupa Cloud Spend Management platform, a cloud-based service that, according to the company, “consolidates e-procurement and expense management into a single solution for managing, and more effectively controlling, all business spending.”
“A small company like Coupa needs association with a big, known company like SalesForce,” noted Jason Hekl, VP of marketing at Coupa.
In a similar vein, Outright.com recently announced its availability through Google Apps.
The product allows salespeople to electronically file receipts and put the information into expense reports, and lets managers see how travel and entertainment expenses impact their budget before reimbursements are approved, according to Daniel Dern writing for InformationWeek. Additionally, according to the company, “accounting managers gain intelligent scoring to prioritize expense report audits, and executives finally have insights into the true cost of sales.”
Pricing for Coupa Expenses for Salesforce starts at around $20,000 per year for 20-50 users.
