We use Zip Intake-to-Procure to manage our procurement process. We process all purchase requests as well as virtual card requests through the Zip Intake-to-Procure platform and take the user through all stages of approval (security, IT, legal, and finance). Zip Intake-to-Procure allows us to give visibility to our employees on where their request is at all times and helps us measure SLAs for everyone involved.
  • 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
  • Netsuite integration is great but could be better
  • The credit card functionality is usable but could improve the dashboards here
Zip Intake-to-Procure is a modern platform and fits perfectly with the way SaaS companies operate now. The product gives viability to our users and everyone involved in the procurement process, allowing procurement to focus on adding value vs. pushing paper. Their product team pushes out improvements weekly. Zip Intake-to-Procure is so customizable, but the implementation didn't even take that long and wasn't onerous + the Zip team held our hand throughout implementation in a way I have never experienced before. Other systems just don't compare.

Intake portal for all company requests. Central hub for spend data/contact documents and great flexibility on building and customizing workflows. Allows for requesters to track progress on their requests and have communication documented for future reference. Lots of integrations allowing ability to leverage automation and the Zip Engineering team is very agile, constantly making improvements to the product based on user feedback.
  • Easily customizable
  • Great support
  • Ease of use
  • Better reporting capabilities
Great for building custom workflows designed around business needs. Central location for all approval parties and storage of documentation and notes.

We use Zip for all of our purchase requests. We manage all approvals (Business Leader/Budget Owner, Finance, Legal, Security, Procurement) in the tool and also leverage it for document collection. Zip alleviated visibility issues for requestors around status of their requests and enabled us to reduce cycle times for end-to-end approvals of requests & contracts.
  • Ease of setup and use
  • Highly configurable
  • Flexible to use for different request use cases
  • High level of support and a development team that listens to customers
  • More robust reporting - ability to configure reports
  • Can improve ability to interact externally with vendors
Zip was created for the intake process and it shows. It's easy to set up and use as an admin and intuitive for submitters of requests. It has a highly configurable workflow engine that is also easy to update and change, even at a request level. It offers clear visibility into status of requests and the company continues to make improvements, both small and large. One area that I would like to see more of is the ability to create walled off sections for different use cases, like security reviews.

Before Zip we had no system to track purchases, relied simply on GL reporting. Zip has tremendously streamlined our insight into spend requests.
  • Customizable approval flow
  • Customizable intake form
  • Ease of naviagation
  • More robust reporting
  • Internal notes section between admins
If you are looking for a system that will give everyone from FP&S, to budget owners to C-staff insight into what departments are spending, you need this! A wonderfully efficient process from intake, to approval to contract signing.
Incredibly responsive and helpful.

Zip is our single entry point for all vendor contract requests. Prior to Zip, the company was using Ironclad as the intake tool which provided the necessary workflow but not the transparency or ease of use. We were able to implement Zip within 3 months and now all intake requests are visible and integrated with most of our tools that are used in the procurement process. We are currently implementing Zip Order and will be rolling out PO by early next year.
  • Customizable workflows
  • Insights tab for quick and easy view of spend and cycle time
  • Existing integrations with tools like Docusign, Ironclad, Slack, and more!
  • Missing the ability to proxy as another user. Currently, if one approver did not set up their delegation, an admin or the approver of that step must reassign each of the approvals to another person.
  • Bulk upload options for admins to update queues and subqueues.
  • Missing ability to schedule reports or the option to share a saved view with another user. It would be easier if certain filtered views can be shared with others to avoid each user having to create their own views.
Zip is great for companies that mainly purchase services (in-direct spending) and don't need access to 3rd party punch-out sites. For companies that are in the manufacturing or supply chain that require extensive breakout of purchase lines, Zip's lack of a "bulk upload" option may cause issues. Companies that also have a very strict policy on workflow access (i.e Event Marketing team should only use workflow designated for them due to the matter of the contract and urgency on the review cycle).

Zip will be a great tool for an organization that does not have a full buyer org and is working as lean with hyper-growth and constant change management.

Zip Intake-to-Procure is being across the whole organization.
  • The intake form solves for what was otherwise manual for us.
  • UI is really easy to use and honestly very impressive.
  • The integrations into our GRC systems, JIRA tickets, and existing Netsuite is essential for us. Slack integration makes things even easier.
  • Needs RFP capabilities and invoicing capabilities.
Zip Intake-to-Procure’s vendor portal is really well suited for us. It manages docs and other information with regard to banks and suppliers.

Our entire organization utilizes Zip Intake-to-Procure for Vendor Management and Purchase Requests. This tool has allowed our procurement, privacy, security, legal, and finance teams a single location for Vendor information and tracking.
  • Clear visibility into the PR workflow for all requesters and approvers
  • Ability to modify/tweak workflows based on particular requests or as our organization evolves without needing technical support from Zip Intake-to-Procure
  • Easy integrations into other tools already used by the organization including NetSuite, Slack, Asana and DocuSign
  • Vendor level records for tracking privacy and security data as well as vendor contacts
  • More robust reporting functionality. You can pull data out via a CSV but it would be great for there to already be standard reports and ability to create custom reports
  • Connection with our budget software so we can track PRs against budget line items
  • Ability to create and send out RFPs
Zip Intake-to-Procure is a great tool for a Procurement team to manage purchase requests whether the workflow is simple or complex and needs many parties to be involved. It allows us to capture information at the Vendor level so it helps procurement, finance, privacy and security teams have a single Vendor record (i.e., are they a data processor, what is their security risk level, what are all the requests for this vendor that have been submitted, what documents are attributed to this vendor). If you need a tool to not only approve a PR but make payments this tool is not yet there and does not have this functionality. It can manage documents at both the PR and Vendor level but it is not a tool to use for editing documents. It doesn't manage budget information, yet.

We use Zip [Intake-to-Procure] across all departments for vendor level purchasing, requests, renewals, ongoing vendor management reviews for security and compliance, and the overall source-to-contract process before the PR or PO.
  • Zip [Intake-to-Procure] was implemented cross functionally in an incredibly fast and painless process that integrates with our JIRA ticketing system, our Netsuite, GRC systems and CLM. Pair this with the Slack integration and user interface and Zip becomes an great solution for any of our employees to use for requesting or approvals chains.
  • Zip [Intake-to-Procure] could use better commenting capabilities, more flexibility in its dashboard, and could integrate more broadly into our GRC systems.
For any indirect spend or vendor level purchasing at a scaling organization, Zip [Intake-to-Procure] is THE solution. Zip loops in the correct stakeholders every time and creates spend clarity that enables more time to be spent on renewals and negotiations.

Zip Intake-to-Procure is being used by our entire company. We used to have no single process to actually purchase anything across finance, legal, IT, etc. It was a confusing experience for employees, and we never knew what was truly in process. Zip Intake-to-Procure has thoroughly improved this process for us.
  • Zip Intake-to-Procure allows us to set up routing logic for approvals across all of our internal teams without knowing how to code.
  • It’s easy to draw lines and set up the flow correctly, kind of like Lucidchart.
  • The intake questions in Zip Intake-to-Procure are also extremely easy to set up and configure, and we can now ask only the necessary questions.
  • It would be great for Zip Intake-to-Procure to have no cross-border or FX fees for their virtual cards.
  • I would also like to see some additional ability to customize dashboards.
Zip Intake-to-Procure is great for organizations that are in the hundreds and certainly in the thousands of employees. Controlling spending and managing risk/compliance are incredibly important.

We use Zip for approving requests across finance, accounting, IT, legal, and other teams. Zip has thoroughly improved what was an otherwise manual and confusing process for requesters and approvers. As the business scales we needed a platform that was going to support our changing needs and put an emphasis on the employee experience.
  • The intake form is really easy to configure and manage and the upstream workflow is intuitive so maintenance is employed easily across different members of our team without IT.
  • Zip visually displays where a requester is at in the entire workflow, making the steps and approvals required transparent.
  • Zip doesn’t integrate with our TrustArc and includes cross border fees for virtual cards.
Zip is extremely well suited for all procurement and sourcing requests in our company, regardless of the team. For a company attempting to scale, Zip is necessary.

We use Zip to improve the requester experience across all departments of our company and to improve ongoing vendor management reviews, security, and compliance.
  • Zip is very intuitive and doesn’t take a lot of training to understand how to use.
  • It eliminates a lot of manual work and saves us so much time.
  • It integrates to all of our cross-functional systems for legal, IT, security, privacy, and finance.
  • Zip could use more configurability in the procurement review and dashboard.
Zip has a super configurable intake form and an extremely intuitive workflow that plugs into our JIRA ticketing system, CLM, GRCs, and Netsuite.

We use Zip for approving all non-expensed spend at Nylas. Approvals across hierarchy, finance, accounting, IT, legal, and other teams all are routed through Zip. We can now get full visibility into upcoming spend and plan better, and push back when we need to.
  • Slack integration
  • Very flexible workflows
  • Virtual card capabilities
  • No FX fees for virtual cards
  • More reporting capabilities
  • Contingent worker specific features
Zip is great for software purchases and renewals and most of our services spend. I do think there are some contingent worker-specific capabilities that Zip could build.

Zip was deployed to our entire organization: about 850 FTE employees. All vendor-level approvals across finance, security, IT, legal, and other teams are routed via Zip, as well as all vendor onboardings.


Eventually, it will also be used to simplify the way that we procure as well since it will be integrated directly into NetSuite.
  • Very intuitive UI with a deep Slack integration
  • Integrations into NetSuite, JIRA, CLMs, and other systems
  • Intake questions can be configured very flexibly, and easy to learn how to set up
  • Integrations into TrustArc and some other less popular systems we use
  • Improved notification configurations
  • More flexible reporting capabilities

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.
