Jalon King's review of Coupa
When a key supplier's manfiest showed as 'on-time' in Coupa but our driver reported a 36-hour delay, dozens of loads were misrouted and we incurred hundreds in detention feees. Our previous logistics tracker - simple ETA and GPS alerts - flaged the discrepancy instantly; switching to Coupa traded that immediacy for a spend-centric dashboard that buries shipment signals in purchsing data, so we couldn't react. After five years running a 15-truck fleet in the Southeast this cost us real money and downtime; Coupa might be fine for finance teams, but for hands-on routing it fell short.
