NORTH AMERICA SCI has also turned its attention to the digital world to drive value . As part of the company ’ s supply chain transformation , SCI zeroed in on new trailblazing technologies such as Coupa ’ s procurement platform which has helped to make procurement more visible and accessible . “ Coupa is a unique procurement platform . Overall , it ’ s a very user-friendly environment for our locations to order products we procure on their behalf . We put these products into Coupa into what are called catalogs , which allows our team to almost shop like they ’ re on Amazon . They can put items into a cart , check out and it automatically creates a purchase order ( PO ) which is systematically sent to our vendors .”
“ We work every day to ensure that our families are taken care of , that they don ’ t have to worry about the little details when they ’ re grieving over a loved one that they ’ ve lost ” 83 — Christopher Jones , Director of Indirect Procurement , SCI
