My Opinion
Coupa Cloud Spend Management Software is an effective application that allows a nonprofit organization to manage their expenses easily and efficiently. When I was collecting information for this review I had an added advantage. I was able to talk to associates of Coupa Software plus a representative of the nonprofit organization, Neediest Kids. They work with schools in the Washington DC area to provide critical emergency necessities for students in need. This gave me a totally new perspective seeing how the software was specifically used by a nonprofit organization.
