“ If we ’ re able to drive savings down to the bottom line in each function , this frees up additional funds to spend on tools which allow for a better student experience ”
– Charles Leslie , Vice President of Procurement
the use of Coupa has enabled ECA to not only centralize its supply purchases and look at the remaining spend and use of resources , and led the team to analyze the top 200 items purchased at campus level .
“ I think we found that our campuses were ordering 10 different types of staplers , for example ,” chuckles Leslie . “ We decided to find the one stapler that ’ s going to give us what we need , and negotiate better pricing for that one particular item .” Going forward , ECA ’ s e-procurement solution will only enable contracted items to be purchased to steer all campuses in the same direction .
