Zip

Zip is a procurement orchestration platform built around an intake-to-procure model: it gives any employee a single front door to submit a purchase request, then routes that request through the approvals, reviews, and compliance checks that finance, legal, IT security, and procurement teams require before a purchase is committed. Rather than replacing the system of record, Zip sits in front of existing ERP and finance tools, capturing structured request data up front so that downstream steps such as purchase order creation, invoice coding, and matching run with complete context.

The platform combines no-code, configurable approval workflows with supplier and vendor records, sourcing (RFx) capabilities, contract orchestration, and accounts payable automation. Approvals can be configured by finance and procurement administrators without engineering work, and the system applies AI to guide requesters toward preferred suppliers, predict required fields, suggest invoice coding from historical patterns, flag anomalies, and answer policy questions. Zip has also introduced AI agents intended to automate repetitive tasks across intake, sourcing, and AP.

Zip integrates bi-directionally with major ERPs and finance systems so that approved transactions and committed spend are reflected in the general ledger as they happen. It is positioned primarily at mid-market and enterprise buyers, and was named a Visionary in the 2026 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Source-to-Pay Suites. The company reports that customers have processed over $500 billion in spend through the platform.
