120 jobs announced at Dublin software company

120 jobs are being created at a software company which is opening its new European hub in Dublin.

Coupa software already employs 60 staff, most of whom are in Dublin.

It is now expected to create 120 jobs over the next three to five years at Eastpoint Business Park.

The firm makes expense management software for businesses, with products for invoicing, procurement, expense tracking, and inventory, among others.

The development is supported by the Department of Jobs, Enterprise & Innovation through IDA Ireland.

Minister for Jobs Richard Bruton said: “Spend management technology is a specific growth sector which we have targeted as part of our Action Plan for Jobs, and in recent years we have seen impressive jobs performance in this area.

"Today’s announcement that Coupa, a highly innovative global company in this area, is establishing a new office in Dublin and is expected to create 120 jobs in the next three to five years is a great boost for north side Dublin."

Meanwhile, PlanNet21 Communications is building a 10,000 square feet data centre in the capital, which will open its doors in November with 30 staff.
