Coupa FAQ
To optimize connectivity with our supply chain partners Novolex has partnered with Coupa, a leader in Procure-to-Pay (P2P) digital technology. Coupa solutions enable purchase orders, invoices, and payments to go paperless, providing benefits to both suppliers and Novolex resulting from process efficiencies, data transparency, and enhanced security. Formal migration to the new platform began in 2023 and is being deployed in phases to Novolex business units and their suppliers. As part of deployment, all current and first-time suppliers must onboard on the Coupa platform to establish a formal supplier record for digital transactions. Novolex will invite current suppliers to self-onboard via the Coupa Supplier Portal in accordance with the phased deployment schedule. See the FAQs below for additional information regarding the deployment schedule, supplier onboarding, and complimentary access to Coupa features.

The Novolex Supplier Diversity Program implements our commitment to promote diversity in our upstream and downstream supply chains. We identify suppliers who meet diversity criteria for inclusion in our search for new vendors. We also track our quarterly and full year spending with diverse suppliers. These metrics are an important tool for measuring the success of our supplier diversity program.
