Overall Satisfaction with Coupa Supply Chain Design & Planning

I have used Coupa for network optimization a while back, determining strategy related to where our facilities should be located, what facilities should support production for which markets, etc. I have recently used it for safety stock optimization and inventory strategy-related goals. The SSO models manage about $100M in inventory for the company I work for.

Pros

  • Network Optimization
  • Safety Stock Optimization
  • Transportation Optimization

Cons

  • Community user group
  • Free, accessible training
  • Simulation to solve the problem...not just to test the optimized solution against
  • Safety stock optimization
  • Network optimization
  • Transportation optimization
  • Service level up
  • Inventory down
  • Sensing issues with our supply chain in near real-time
We evaluated a ton of other solutions; With some solutions, I liked their simulation aspects better. Coupa (formerly LLamasoft), can model with a duration-based service level target. That was the only solution I saw that offered that service level definition (Type 1: event-based, or Type 2: Quantity based)
