Coupa Expands Certification Program to Include Tax Regulation Compliance Partners

SAN MATEO, Calif., May 17, 2017 -- Coupa Software (NASDAQ:COUP), a leader in cloud-based spend management, today announced that the CoupaLink program has expanded by certifying apps from global tax regulation compliance partners for real-time, dynamically calculated tax. The new certified apps are from Thomson Reuters, Avalara, and Vertex and are immediately available to connect with the Coupa platform.

The CoupaLink program enables software partners to build complementary solutions that easily connect into Coupa’s globally networked platform. Customers benefit by optimizing their business spend while reducing the cost of third party software integration.

Customers turning on any of the newly certified tax compliance apps gain real-time, dynamically calculated tax applied to Coupa invoice or requisition transactions. This modern app-based approach to tax calculation decreases the efforts required to keep business spend compliant to ever changing global tax regulations.

“We are proud to be a part of the CoupaLink certified program, making tax compliance easier, more efficient, and accurate for customers,” said Marshal Kushniruk, executive vice president of global business development, Avalara. “The integration with Coupa allows its customers to quickly get started with Avalara transaction tax solutions.”
