Intake-to-procure platform for enterprise purchasing
Zip is a modern intake-to-procure platform that streamlines the purchase request and vendor onboarding process for enterprise companies. Founded in 2020 and backed by YC, Tiger Global, and Y Combinator, Zip has rapidly become a preferred solution for tech companies and enterprises frustrated with legacy procurement systems. Zip's core insight is that most procurement failures happen at the front end—employees bypass systems because they're too complex. Zip provides an intuitive intake experience that any employee can use without training. When someone needs to buy something or onboard a new vendor, they submit a request through Zip, which automatically routes it to the right approvers (finance, legal, security, IT) based on configurable workflows. Vendor onboarding includes automated due diligence collection: W-9s, certificates of insurance, security questionnaires, and bank information. PO creation and management supports complex approval chains and budget checks. Zip integrates with ERP systems (NetSuite, SAP, Coupa) and contract management systems to tie the purchasing workflow to the broader financial and legal infrastructure. Its AI-powered features extract relevant information from vendor documents and suggest approval routing. Zip's analytics provide spend visibility and process metrics. The platform is particularly popular with SaaS companies, financial services firms, and tech-forward enterprises wanting modern procurement tooling.
