Zip

Zip is a commercial procurement platform that orchestrates the process from the first purchase request through to payment. Employees submit requests through a single intake point, and the system routes them to the right approvers across procurement, finance, legal, IT and security, so purchasing follows company policy without relying on email threads.

Core products include intake-to-procure, procure-to-pay, supplier onboarding, sourcing, risk orchestration, AI contract orchestration and an AI procurement concierge. Add-ons cover global payments, vendor cards, budgets and an app studio. Platform pieces include a workflow engine, spend insights, integrations and an MCP interface, and the vendor emphasizes purpose-built AI agents that handle sourcing, compliance and spend tasks.

Zip positions itself for startups, mid-market companies and enterprises, with industry pages for life sciences, manufacturing, financial services, technology and professional services. It is a hosted service sold through demos, and the company runs events, a community and training programs for its customers.
