Why switch
Why teams are moving off Coupa
Quote-based cost
Coupa does not publish prices. Cost grows with spend, modules and entities, and implementation is billed on top.
Long setup
Buyers report a long onboarding and a tool that is hard to learn.
Limited customization
Reviewers point to limited reporting, confusing requisitions and ERP connectors that need custom work.
Supplier logins
Suppliers have to log in to the Coupa Supplier Portal just to submit an invoice.
Ownership
You own it. No lock-in.
- You own the code and the data.
- It can run in your cloud, in the region you choose.
- You can take it in-house at any time.

How it works
How we build your procurement portal in five days
After launch, we keep updating the procurement portal with you under one flat engagement.
Standard org: up to [TODO] suppliers, [TODO] purchase orders and [TODO] integrations. Larger orgs are scoped on the call.
Migration
How to migrate from Coupa
For a standard org, we export from Coupa, map your data, run both systems for one cycle, then switch before your Coupa term ends. Larger orgs are scoped on the call.
01
Export your data
We export suppliers, requisitions, purchase orders and invoices through the Coupa API and CSV exports, and pull attachments.
02
Map fields and approval rules
We map each record to the new portal and rebuild your approval chains, since approval logic does not export.
03
Run both systems
Both systems run for one cycle while your team checks the data against your ERP. Original PO numbers are kept.
04
Switch before your term ends
We move open POs last, invite your vendors to the new portal and time the switch to your Coupa term end date.

FAQ
Questions about building your own procurement portal
Can I build my own procurement portal instead of using Coupa?
Yes. We build an in-house procurement portal around how your team buys, and you own the code and the data.
How long does it take to build a custom procurement portal?
For a standard org, the first version is ready in five working days. Larger orgs are scoped on the call.
Can I get my data out of Coupa?
Yes. Coupa offers a REST API and CSV exports for suppliers, requisitions and purchase orders. We pull attachments separately and rebuild approval rules in the new portal.
How much does Coupa cost?
Coupa does not publish prices. Contracts are quote-based and depend on spend, modules and legal entities, with implementation billed separately.
Do my suppliers need to register again?
Yes. Coupa Supplier Portal logins do not move. We invite your vendors to the new portal as part of the switch.
What happens to open purchase orders during migration?
We keep original PO numbers and move open POs last, after a short freeze, so matching with your ERP still works.
Can a custom procurement portal connect to my ERP?
Yes. We connect to NetSuite, SAP, QuickBooks, Xero and others through their APIs or file imports.
What does built with AI mean for quality?
We use AI to write and test code faster. Our engineers design, review and ship every change, and they are responsible for it. Skcript has built enterprise AI systems for 13 years.
Is Skcript affiliated with Coupa?
No. Skcript is not affiliated with Coupa. Product names are used only to describe what we replace.
