AUSTRALIA instead of hours . In 2017 Carey wants to see Coupa rolled out to the African business , something that will present a new set of issues to integrate it with the Pulse ERP used there .
The system has already paid for itself , but Harrold and Carey are hungry to see it do much more . “ As a global company , we need a global procurement programme .” Coupa is delivering value in ways not foreseen when the decision was made to invest in it . The data from the field is already making management information and schematics available across Australia , and further innovation in in sight . For example , in the near future Ausdrill ’ s field staff will be able to order purchases directly from exploded diagrams – meaning a part can be ordered at a touch with no form filling . Coupa is just a tool , but it is one that has given all its users the ability to proactively pare down cost , save time and make processes leaner and more dependable . They will have to get used to taking more control over the outcomes of their work , but that change is gathering traction , says Ashley Carey . “ Other contractors in Australia are looking at what we are doing and taking notice . The more people we can get behind us the more we can push the tool to do more things . I have no issues making the mistakes and overcoming them because I am convinced that will help us stay ahead of our competitors .”
