Coupa has acquired intelligent document processing (IDP) provider Rossum as the company looks to expand AI-driven automation across procurement, invoicing and source-to-pay workflows.
Coupa Expands Procurement AI Capabilities with Rossum Acquisition
The acquisition builds on an existing partnership between the two companies focused on automating complex invoicing processes for accounts payable teams. Coupa said the deal will now extend Rossum’s intelligent document processing capabilities across its broader autonomous spend management platform using agentic AI.
The move comes as procurement and supply chain organisations increase investment in AI-enabled automation to improve efficiency, reduce manual processing and strengthen spend visibility across increasingly complex supply networks.
Coupa Sees Long-Term Opportunity for AI Across Source-to-Pay
Coupa said the acquisition reflects a broader strategy to build more autonomous procurement and spend management capabilities using AI-driven decision-making and transactional intelligence.
“The combined value of Coupa and Rossum has been proven in AP and invoicing, and we see massive future value in applying Rossum’s T-LLM and AI-first technology across the Coupa platform,” said Leagh Turner, CEO of Coupa.
“We’ve been able to deliver over $300 billion in customer savings over the past 20 years. With Rossum, we believe we can help them save the next $300 billion in five with a system of decision and intelligence that is unrivalled.”
Rossum’s platform uses a proprietary transactional large language model (T-LLM) trained on tens of millions of transactional documents to automate document processing workflows beyond traditional OCR-based systems.
The technology continuously learns from customer-specific document environments, helping improve processing speed and accuracy over time.
The integration is intended to allow procurement and finance teams to gain faster invoice processing, improved data control and reduced operational costs across both direct and indirect spend categories.
Automation Expands Beyond Traditional OCR
Rossum said the acquisition represents the next stage of a long-term collaboration centred on AI-enabled transactional automation.
The company specialises in automating supply chain paperwork and transactional document workflows across goods and services supply chains using an AI-first, cloud-native platform.
“By combining our proprietary T-LLM transactional intelligence with Coupa’s massive $10T data set, we are well positioned to create immediate customer value and fundamentally change how the world buys and sells,” said Tomáš Gogár, CEO and Co-Founder of Rossum.
The companies said the combined platform is designed to support broader automation initiatives spanning procurement, invoicing, supplier collaboration and transaction processing.
The news was announced at Coupa’s flagship annual conference, Inspire.
