Story
Industrials work at Boeing spans more than one site, even when headquarters sits in the United States. Financial close was splitting across regional habits. Controllers and shared services asked for a shared way to run record to report without freezing local judgment.
Coupa (Community.ai) is what they standardized on. Coupa is a spend management platform for procurement, invoicing, expenses, and supply chain design used by finance and procurement teams. Boeing uses it as the system of record for financial close, with controllers and shared services as the primary operators and other groups coming in through the same queue.
Leaders get a picture they can actually walk. Teams get fewer mystery statuses. The story is about operating change, not an unpublished percentage.
