Coupa Software, a leader in business spend management (BSM), and Uber for Business, the division of Uber, today announced a collaboration to dramatically improve end-user experience and expense compliance. The integration will be available in February.
Coupa is the first BSM platform to leverage Uber for Business’ receipt API for expense automation. Through the Uber for Business Receipts API, Coupa automatically creates expense reports for Uber for Business trips with the receipt already attached, saving employees valuable time. This step also helps eliminate risk for organizations battling incomplete or inaccurate compliance reports. This skips other integration models that require employees to manually find and attach receipts for rides completed with Uber for Business.
“At Uber for Business, we are committed to creating magical experiences for businesses and their employees,” said Susan Anderson, Global Head of Uber for Business. “We are excited that our latest business output innovation is brought to life with Coupa. With this easy-to-use integration, expense reporting becomes seamless for everyone. Reports are conveniently generated automatically, so employees don’t have to waste time finding and attaching individual receipts for rides ordered from Uber for Business. Companies also benefit from this. The new integration can provide a better understanding of business spend, which can lead to opportunities to intelligently navigate the current economic landscape and reduce costs accordingly.”
“User centricity is at the heart of Coupa’s travel and expense management solution,” said Raja Hammoud, executive vice president of products. “From using voice to create expense lines to automated mileage tracking, we have a history of innovations that delight business travelers by eliminating manual effort.”
“Coupa data shows that Uber is one of the most expensive merchants of all time on the Coupa platform. This new integration with Uber will create immense value for our users and customers by making ridesharing billing easier than ever. Gone are the days of manually attaching receipts for Uber rides,” Hammoud said.
Coupa helps organizations like Bowery Farming, Thumbtack and World Vision realize the full potential of their travel and expense spend to promote transparency and control. Learn more about how Coupa Expenses is powering the future of business travel here.
