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.

Coupa Express Project Timeline

The project grew quickly, achieving 99% activity status on Sourceforge (a miracle for boring e-procurement software) in a matter of months. After 3 betas, a 1.0 version was introduced in March 2007 – and the current 1.5 version has been available since August 2007. The project has surpassed 12,000 downloads, with production use in most continents.

Coupa Software continues to act as a champion for Coupa Express, and maintain this site. In addition, Coupa Software offers a convenient on demand service at a fraction of the cost of traditional enterprise software.
