COUPA - Open source e-procirement

Image
Coupa Express is the world’s leading open source project for e-procurement. It includes support for employee requisitioning, purchase order creation, and PO transmission to suppliers. Built using Ruby on Rails, Coupa Express includes native support for Web 2.0 capabilities like drag-and-drop shopping and tagging. Coupa Express is sponsored by Coupa Software, an on demand e-procurement vendor that offers simple, quick and affordable hosted purchasing systems . Coupa Express History The first version of Coupa Express was released in July 2006. The original target date of July 4th (which we missed by a few weeks) coincided with Independence Day in the United States, and was symbolic of the goal of the project – to “free” businesses from stale, expensive, and old-fashioned purchasing systems that cost too much to buy and even more to own and operate. The project grew quickly, achieving 99% activity status on Sourceforge (a miracle for boring e-procurement software) in
