The power behind Coupa is its incredible flexibility. Quite simply - we’re open where others are closed. Coupa's open architecture allows customers to integrate any 3rd party system on the market. Our service can integrate with limitless types of software applications - from financial/ERP, to HR, to Inventory Management.

So if you have a preference or standard, we can use our API platform to hook directly into your existing tools. And if you don’t, then we’ll recommend a best practice based on your environment and integration points. Either way we keep it simple. Integration isn't the main driver for any project. The driver is for you to save money!

You can use either the Coupa API, flat files, Web Services, custom code, or any integration provider to make seamless connections between Coupa and your ERP platform.
