Three paths to your Coupa renewal. The €6M difference between them is which agents you deploy.

Your renewal decision in numbers.

Coupa's proposed uplift is 27%, over 24 months, accepting it costs nearly €1M.
Deploying the Compression Agent turns that into €1.9M in savings.
Add the Bid Agent and it becomes €5M. Adjust the inputs below to your actual figures — the model updates in real time.

Coupa annual spend (€)

Certified admins (FTE)

Admin hrs / month

Renewal due (months)

Vendor uplift (%)

Path 1 — Stay and Pay

Coupa's leverage is at maximum.

Renewal uplift cost —

Admin retraining (50% FTEs × €15K) —

Year 1 total cost increase —

Year 2 cost creep (5% on inflated base) —

24-month cumulative cost —

Year 1 = Coupa renewal uplift + 50% admin retraining cost (€15K/FTE). Year 2 = 5% further cost creep on inflated base. Source: illustrative figures, BASF-scale assumptions.

Path 2 — Stay and Compress

Self-funding from quarter one. Compression Agent

Drop Contracts module (12% of spend) —

Drop Risk module (8% of spend) —

Decline AI bundle (10% of spend) —

Admin layer reduction (50%) —

Year 1 net savings —

Year 2 savings (Year 1 × 1.15) —

24-month net savings —

Year 1 = drop Contracts module (12% of spend) + Risk module (8%) + decline AI bundle (10%) + 50% admin layer reduction. Year 2 = Year 1 × 1.15 (Compression Agent compounding). Source: Coupa module utilisation data, SevenTrain analysis.

Path 3 — Reduce and Redirect

The path to pole position. Compression Agent + Bid Agent

Year 1 savings (same as Path 2) —

Bid Agent sourcing savings (Path 2 Y1) —

+ 16% on €20M addressable spend €3,200,000

Year 2 total savings —

24-month net savings —

Year 1 = same as Path 2. Year 2 adds Bid Agent sourcing savings: 16% on €20M addressable spend, proven in BASF Arkestro event ($590K on $3.6M). Source: Arkestro BASF case study, illustrative scale-up.

What you're looking at

Five suppliers. Two categories. One bid event. This is 90 days of procurement intelligence made visible.

Solid teal lines are supply relationships. The dashed orange line is a risk the graph flagged — not a transaction Coupa records.

Every node connecting to the Q3 Bid Event contributed to $590K saved in 60 minutes. Hover any node to go deeper.

Anchor pricing improves with every bid event — not because we programmed it, but because the graph remembers.

Supplier substitution risk is visible across categories, not siloed in each RFx.

Every Compression Agent action tells the graph which Coupa workflows drive value vs which are ceremony.
