1. Vendor onboarding - Zip Intake-to-Procure is user friendly where the vendor can easily upload documents based on requirements of the company. This aide everyone to save time from reaching out to different vendors and requesting for documents.

2. Integration with various system and messaging platform. Zip Intake-to-Procure integration really fit with our needs since there is available integration with our accounting system and also with slack that we use as our main platform for communication.

Zip is a newer product in the P2P space, and as such there are still some areas for improvement. They don't have all the "bells and whistles" products and configurations that some of the other players in this space have, but the products they do offer are best in class. Zip is an ideal tool for tactical procurement.

Zip Intake-to-Procure is well suited in areas where standardizing and streamlining procurement processes are key such as small to medium-sized businesses or departments with strictly purchasing needs. It excels in collecting and managing vendor information, purchase requests and basic procurement data efficiently. Zip Intake-to-Procure may be less appropriate in large businesses with highly complex and specialized procurement requirements.

This has been a great tool for us to manage our purchase requests and approval workflows. The platform is highly customizable, which makes it work perfectly based on our internal processes. We are also working to build out vendor risk questionnaires within the platform to help consolidate the amount of tools used throughout the procurement process and provide more visibility into what is happening during our security reviews. We're excited to consolidate other processes we have within Zip Intake-to-Procure to streamline the end-to-end procurement process.

I think Zip Intake-to-Procure would be a good option for smaller companies that don't need a lot of custom configuration and functionality. Additionally, if invoicing visibility and details are critical to users, Zip Intake-to-Procure may not be a strong candidate.

However, Zip Intake-to-Procure is constantly working on new capabilities and rolling out new features communications via their platform, so it's encouraging to see that they are incorporating feedback and building out stronger usability.

Zip is well suited for the majority of indirect purchases. It is perfect for software purchases and allows governance areas, such as IT, Security, and Legal, to be involved int he approval process. We have found it difficult for use on direct purchases or anything that requires a robust receiving process.

Well suited for companies that want to allow any employee to submit a request. ZIP can be tricky to use for employee reimbursement or unique contracts that don't necessarily have a contract tied to it.

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.

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.

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 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.

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 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.
