Christel Constant Coupa

Connecting Unite’s B2B Marketplace with the Coupa BSM platform will provide customers with access to a one-stop shop for procurement matters. We’re excited to be part of Coupa Advantage as a trusted supplier partner. We look forward to our relationship with Coupa to further help customers gain best-in-class pricing and assortment.

How does it work?

Unite connects to Coupa via two integration modes. Each serves a different procurement priority. Pick the one that fits your organisation.

Coupa Open Buy

Search smarter, stay in Coupa

Your team searches in Coupa as usual. Unite’s API returns matching results from its marketplace — inline, clearly marked as ‘from Unite,’ with full pricing, product detail and availability. No platform switch, no new login. Ideal when speed and price visibility matter most.

Best for: teams that want instant benchmarking against contracted catalogues, fast access to tail-end items, and a seamless user experience inside Coupa.

Punchout

For full compliance and control

Your team clicks through from Coupa into Unite’s complete marketplace experience. They search, compare, build a basket with full documentation — then transfer it back to Coupa for approval and PO creation. Every step is recorded.

Best for: organisations that require automated purchasing protocols, audit-ready records per transaction, and access to Unite’s full range of procurement services (catalogue hosting, spend analytics, ESG reporting).

Not sure which mode is right for you?
Our integration specialists will assess your setup and recommend the best fit – typically in a single call.

Beyond your contracted catalogues

Your framework agreements cover your core needs. But what about everything else — the tail-end items, the urgent one-off requests, the categories nobody got around to negotiating?
Unite fills that gap with a curated European marketplace:

  • 117+ million articles across 25,000 product categories
  • Pre-vetted suppliers in 12 European markets — compliance-checked, locally based
  • No conflicts of interest — Unite earns a transparent service fee, not supplier commissions
  • AI-supported search that classifies and matches across catalogues, so your team finds the right item faster
  • 25+ years of B2B procurement experience — we’ve been doing this since 2000
