Coupa Intake Experience

Coupa Intake Experience

If you’ve been using Coupa to manage procurement and spend, you might be worried about the Coupa acquisition and how it might impact your ability to innovate or improve buying experiences. Fear not. You don’t have to rip it out or start over. 

Tonkean wraps around your organization’s existing systems, including Business Spend Management tools like Coupa. 

You can improve the adoption, compliance, and efficiency of things like your P2P process and bring innovation, the power of AI and GPT, and a rich user experience to procurement teams with the systems you already have.

Here’s how it works. 

Tonkean wraps around your existing systems and policies and creates a guided buying experience 

• Tonkean allows people to submit new requests from whatever app or platform they prefer spending time in, like Slack, Teams,email, or powerful custom forms. 
• When a purchase request comes in, Tonkean triages it, automatically sending an email or Slack message to the procurement team with information they need to approve or reject the request, including purchase categories, vendor alternatives and tools the organization might already be using. 
• Tonkean compiles all this information in a centralized procurement dashboard. 
• From the dashboard, Tonkean also empowers procurement teams to automatically and intelligently take new actions, such as auto-generate the RFx process. (There’s even a risk and compliance review included.)
• All stakeholders can view the progress of the request along the way in Tonkean’s tracker. The tracker includes key information about the potential purchase, the business point of contact, key questions, related documentation, additional related processes, and more. 

Because Tonkean is 100% no-code, even non-technical team members within procurement can create these automated processes.

Key Benefits

The primary benefit of using Tonkean to wrap around your existing spend management tools is an improved user experience—one that people will actually use. That user experience results in greater adoption of your processes, which directly reduces risk, increases compliance, and enhances auditability. 

And because Tonkean wraps around your existing tech stack, you don’t need to worry about killing existing software agreements. It makes everything you already use work better.
