Zip
Modern intake-to-procure platform that streamlines purchasing requests with smart routing, approval workflows, and vendor management.
Overview
Zip focuses on the intake and orchestration layer of procurement — the process of getting a purchase request from initial idea through to approved order. Rather than replacing an ERP or full procure-to-pay suite, Zip sits in front of existing tools and provides a modern, user-friendly intake experience.
The platform's smart routing engine automatically directs requests to the right approvers based on spend amount, category, department, and custom rules. This eliminates the email chains and spreadsheet-based approval processes that slow down procurement in many organisations.
Zip has gained traction with fast-growing technology companies that need to introduce procurement governance without creating bottlenecks. Its emphasis on employee experience and rapid deployment makes it accessible to teams that may not have used formal procurement tooling before.

Who Should Use Zip
Fast-growing companies that need procurement governance without the overhead of a full P2P suite. Zip is strongest for teams that want to bring order to purchasing requests, enforce approval policies, and gain spend visibility without replacing existing accounting or ERP systems.
Who Should Look Elsewhere
Organisations that need end-to-end procure-to-pay including invoicing and payment. If your primary challenge is invoice processing, three-way matching, or supplier risk management, you will need a more comprehensive platform alongside or instead of Zip.
