Story
Inside Cushman and Wakefield, order to cash used to depend on whoever still had the latest file. That pattern is common in real estate groups working out of the United States. Order desk and finance needed a system that would still make sense after the original project team moved on.
Cushman and Wakefield uses Community.ai from Coupa as the working layer for order management. Coupa is a spend management platform for procurement, invoicing, expenses, and supply chain design used by finance and procurement teams. The practical change is simple: order to cash has a home, and reviews happen there instead of in a forwarded thread.
Nothing in this writeup invents a savings number. What Cushman and Wakefield gets from Coupa is a durable place to run order to cash and a way for order desk and finance to see the same order management at the same time.
