| Coupa Software | Legacy | Coupa Invoice | AP Automation | ERP | n/a | 2018 | 2019 |
In 2018 Rivian implemented Coupa Invoice as its AP Automation solution. Coupa Invoice is deployed as part of Coupa Software's cloud-based Business Spend Management platform, serving as the central invoice processing and accounts payable component for Rivian and explicitly positioned within the AP Automation category.
The implementation leverages Coupa Supplier Portal, PO-to-invoice electronic processing, automated invoice capture and matching, and payment orchestration capabilities. Suppliers receive purchase orders and create invoices electronically, access systems through an internet browser and email, and maintain pertinent company information via a self-service tool, which supports invoice creation and transaction tracking.
Rivian structured the deployment to unify processes across supply chain, procurement, and finance functions, using Coupa as the central repository for all orders and invoice records. Operational coverage spans procurement teams, accounts payable and finance, and the external supplier base, enabling end-to-end PO issuance, invoice submission, and payment workflows within the AP Automation domain.
Governance is centralized on the Coupa platform to standardize workflow routing, approval chains, and transaction auditing, while supplier onboarding and data management are handled through the Coupa Supplier Portal. Stated benefits include zero hassle access for suppliers via browser and email, automated issuance and tracking of POs, invoices, and payments, and no added cost for suppliers when using Coupa.

| Workday | Legacy | Workday Absence Management | Absence and Leave Management | HCM | n/a | 2021 | 2021 |
In 2021, Rivian implemented Workday Absence Management to centralize time off, leave tracking, and compliance workflows. The deployment targeted the Absence and Leave Management function within the HR suite, with Workday Absence Management configured to reflect company leave categories and eligibility rules.
Configuration focused on standardizing absence types, accrual methodologies, eligibility rules, manager approvals, and employee self service for time off requests. The implementation included configuration of leave balances, configurable accrual schedules, absence request workflows, and reporting constructs aligned with HR and payroll processes to support absence lifecycle management.
Workday Absence Management was integrated operationally with the companys Workday Payroll, Time Tracking, and Benefits modules to ensure consistent leave pay processing and benefits eligibility. The scope of coverage emphasized People Operations and Payroll functions across Rivian in the United States, aligning absence data with payroll calculations and time tracking records.
Governance and ongoing operations were managed through a People Systems function, with a Lead People Systems Analyst responsible for Workday Payroll, Absence, Time Tracking, and Benefits during Jan 2023 to Mar 2024, executing configuration changes, validation cycles, and cross functional coordination. Rollout and steady state operations prioritized policy alignment, role based approvals, and iterative configuration governance to maintain absence policy fidelity within Workday Absence Management.

| Rockwell Automation | Legacy | Rockwell FactoryTalk View Site | Manufacturing Execution System | ERP Services and Operations | n/a | 2021 | 2021 |
In 2021, Rivian deployed Rockwell FactoryTalk View Site as a Manufacturing Execution System. The deployment was managed through the IT Infrastructure and Enterprise Applications organization based at the Normal, Illinois manufacturing facility, and coordinated under a full life cycle MES program structure that defined the program charter, roles, tasks, milestones, budgets and success measures.
Configuration work centered on core Manufacturing Execution System capabilities within Rockwell FactoryTalk View Site, including shop floor visualization, operator HMI workflows, work order execution, production monitoring and automated data collection to support traceability and testing workflows. The program emphasis aligned to automotive manufacturing process requirements and included configuration of supervisory visualization, operator interface screens and structured commissioning sequences.
Operational scope covered the Normal manufacturing site while the program manager served as the primary link between assigned program resources and stakeholders across Rivian development centers, ensuring business requirements were captured accurately. Program controls incorporated disciplined project management methodology to define scope, develop end to end plans, and execute sub-projects, along with ongoing tracking of program status, issue resolution, and monitoring of financial delivery.
Governance and organizational change management were core to the implementation, with responsibilities for stakeholder communication, training coordination, lessons learned and formal program closure. Risk management plans, compliance monitoring with audit and information policies, and escalation paths were formalized to support testing and commissioning activities while preserving business continuity.
