Coupa Supplier Portal - Made Better !

Posted on Mar 26, 2017 by Simon
Coupa as a procurement system has much to be admired. Strength after strength throughout the entire application. Yet supplier item management can be greatly strengthened with the usage of the Rinktee catalog system.

The following is a list of weaknesses that Coupa exhibits and which Rinktee can remedy (as noted by our customers that use Coupa).


  • The Coupa Supplier Portal is confusing for suppliers to maintain items.
  • Coupa's internal catalog loses its portability once an item file is over 5MB zipped.
  • The technical steps in CSP for the publication of items are confusing.
  • Coupa system often complains about duplicate items.
  • Cannot ever really delete items that are in Coupa.
  • Suppliers with over one hundred items can be more efficiently maintained when using a punchout catalog.

We have sample catalogs that can be easily uploaded (or take one of your own), and have a quick look at how efficient catalog management can be. Soon enough you'll be asking yourself, "what were we waiting for?"

Cheers!
