Overall Satisfaction with Zip Intake-to-Procure

We're a mature start-up that just recently implemented Zip Intake-to-Procure to rollout a more formal Procurement tool to help with vendor spend management. Previously, we were doing it off Netsuite (our ERP tool), and there was no centralized place to provide insights on open POs, committed spend, etc. Zip Intake-to-Procure now allows us to track spend at the vendor level and tie invoices back to specific POs
  • Admin level access is easy to use
  • Helpful to see SLA times by approval org
  • Provides good visibility for PO submitters to see where their PO currently is on the approval process
  • 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)
  • PO generation
  • Being able to apply invoices to POs
  • Standardizing vendor spend management and reporting insights
  • Zip Intake-to-Procure has helped clean up forecasting for us - we've improved accuracy by over 30% since now we're forcing folks to make sure spend is captured accurately and checking submitted PO amounts against the bottoms up forecast
  • We've also been able to leverage the SLA insights provided by Zip Intake-to-Procure to increase operational efficiencies. We're identified orgs that are slowing down the overall approval process and putting more pressure with shorter SLA times.
There are more reporting insights and better data visualization summaries in Zip Intake-to-Procure vs. Coupa (from when I last used it in 2022).

Zip Intake-to-Procure also feels a bit fresher and has a better UI experience than Coupa. The user experience is pretty straightforward and should have a low learning curve for those who have already used procurement tools before.

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.
