Barkers won the Partner Connect Spartan Award at Coupa Software’s flagship business spend management event in London, Coupa Inspire 2023.
The award recognised a rising star within the Coupa partner ecosystem, celebrating perseverance, a strong demonstration of Coupa’s core values, and an outstanding commitment to collaboration.
“We worked extremely hard over the eighteen months leading up to this award to develop our practice, building a compelling market proposition, a strong track record of delivery and a team of highly skilled Coupa Software and procurement practitioners. Working collaboratively with Coupa, we developed strong relationships that enabled us to deliver outstanding implementations for our clients.
As a procurement consultancy, the added value we offered was a holistic review of our clients’ procurement functions, recommending solutions that delivered long-term value and aligned closely with their strategic objectives. Helping clients transform their businesses is hugely rewarding in itself, and to receive this recognition from Coupa Software was the icing on the cake.” – Matthew Hardaker, Senior Delivery Director, Barkers
