London, 10 April 2026 – Coupa will host The Guide to Intake & Orchestration workshop at Procurement & Supply Chain LIVE: The US Summit on 22 April 2026. Led by Tricia Miller, SVP of Product Marketing and Chief Evangelist at Coupa, the session will explore how Intake Management and Orchestration are challenging traditional paradigms and becoming the primary catalysts for procurement innovation. Attendees will discover how to bridge the gap between goals and execution by turning their procurement function into a streamlined, automated power centre. The workshop takes place on 22nd April at 2:00 pm CDT.
Beyond Source-to-Pay: the rise of orchestration
Intake and orchestration software has rapidly evolved from a "nice-to-have" tool into a critical engine for business alignment. It acts as the "Digital Front Door", ensuring that every request, from a simple office supply order to a complex multi-year service contract, is captured, categorised and routed correctly from the very first click.
The workshop will teach attendees how to streamline intake and orchestration, critical for aligning procurement with broader business objectives. This workshop provides practical approaches to intake management, process orchestration and workflow optimisation.
Matching AI to your maturity journey
A highlight of the session will be insights from Tricia Miller. As one of the leading voices in procurement, her insights will provide vital resources for attendees. Tricia has spoken on a number of topics, including the Procurement Maturity Curve. She explained how one of the most common pitfalls in AI adoption is a mismatch between tech investment and organisational readiness.
"We as procurement leaders have to be very thoughtful about where we are on that maturity journey and then make the right bets based on that," Tricia says.
By recognising where inefficiencies lie, leaders can decide whether to deploy predictive AI or autonomous agents to ensure they get the most "bang for the buck" sooner rather than later.
Coupa has been recognised as a leader in this department by a number of organisations, including Procurement Magazine.
"We launched our Smart Intake & Orchestration solution to address the critical need for an intuitive, compliant experience for businesses of all sizes," said Salvatore Lombardo, Coupa Chief Product and Technology Officer. "Coupa's holistic approach and AI-native platform advantage have allowed us to rapidly deliver scalable solutions that accelerate time-to-value and ensure compliance from the very first step of the spend process."
