Visa Spend Clarity vs. Zip Intake-to-Procure

It is well suited and, I guess, is a primary role for remote or distributed teams - especially when you know a person not well to trust him in managing local costs was agreed to pay. If you work with contractors with irregular payments, it will suit you as well cause of immediate card transfer, but it may be limited by your local KYC policy. It is not typical to pay payroll costs with it because it is focused mostly on operations with virtual card balances, so it is less appropriate for it. So it works best for remote teams.

Zip can be used for routing all vendor-level approvals for new vendors and all renewals across our organization. It can also be helpful for managing all purchases from existing vendors. For non-spend related approvals, it’s not as well suited. Zip was definitely designed for procurement workflows. They also have a vendor management portal that links up directly to something like NetSuite for management and visibility.

• Visa Spend Clarity provides clear and concise spending reports that make it easy to track and monitor spending.
• The reports can be customized to show specific spending categories, merchant types, and time periods.
• Visa Spend Clarity also offers a variety of tools and resources to help cardholders manage their spending and avoid overspending.
• Helping users track their spending in real-time
• Providing budgeting tools to help users stay on track

• No coding - Ability for the administrator to make changes without development resources helps us be agile as a procurement org.
• Visibility to the user in a great user interface
• Accountability (helps us track SLAs on response time), Audit trails keeping track of everything
• The implementation team was incredible, as is ongoing support. They want you to succeed in your goals vs. just implement their tool

• Horribly Dated Interface
• Clunky operation
• Requires 5 clicks where 1 should be sufficient
• Slow
• Worst program I have used in a decade.

• There are some duplicated fields such as anticipated total spend vs. price line item breakdown that asks for the same thing. This is a little bit tedious
• Does not show which invoices got processed and applied to open POs
• Does not integrate / migrate special custom fields within Zip Intake-to-Procure into other tech stacks (NetSuite)

We found the results and returns with the Visa Spend Clarity were more positive than some other platforms. After researching competitors like, Data Card Wizard and Airwallex, we found the ease and comfort for our customers was more beneficial by using the Visa Spend Clarity application. The brand name helped ease the customer's concerns.

I prefer Zip for its for its user-friendly interface and ease of adoption, especially if the organization values a simpler and more intuitive system for users across various departments. Comparatively, Zip is a more budget-friendly solution compared to some enterprise-level systems like SAP ARIBA or Oracle PeopleSoft, especially for smaller or mid-sized organizations with specific procurement needs.

• It is not feasible, but probably it takes 20% less time to start work with you contractor.
• Once having integrations with Uber, Booking - probably discounts accumulated with funding accounts will influence the performance.

• Visibility for all necessary approvers and reviewers of the process.
• Lack of open API to other systems (i.e Mondays, Smartsheet) is causing concerns for team that might want to move away from current tool.
• No 3rd party implementation required is huge cost / time savings.
