Summary
In today’s volatile macroeconomic landscape, global organisations are shifting procurement from a traditional cost-reduction exercise to a strategic pillar of enterprise resilience and growth. Recognising that over two-thirds of its cost of goods sold is external, Rolls-Royce recently elevated procurement to sit alongside engineering and manufacturing as one of its three core operational pillars.
Behind this organisational elevation was a decade-long digital transformation powered by Coupa.
Join us for a fireside chat between Coupa and Chris Thomason, Vice President - Indirect Procurement at Rolls-Royce. We will explore how Rolls-Royce moved from siloed data and manual Excel questionnaires to unified spend visibility, touchless purchasing, and collaborative, AI-driven risk management.
