Story
Industrials work at Krones AG spans more than one site, even when headquarters sits in Germany. Procurement and payables was splitting across regional habits. Procurement and AP asked for a shared way to run source to pay 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. Krones AG uses it as the system of record for procurement and payables, with procurement and AP 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 The story is about operating change, not an unpublished percentage.
