What it is
Zip is an AI platform for enterprise procurement that coordinates purchasing workflows from employee request through payment. Its products include intake-to-procure, procure-to-pay, supplier onboarding, sourcing, risk orchestration, and AI contract orchestration. Intake-to-procure turns plain-language employee requests into forms and routes them for approval; its agents can validate requests and flag overpricing against market data. Procure-to-pay covers purchasing and payments, including purchase order and invoice management. Zip lists more than 100 integrations across ERP, P2P, CLM, GRC, ITSM, and other systems, with options such as templates, App Studio, Zip MCP, REST APIs, and flat-file imports. Zip MCP can bring procurement data into compatible tools, with user authentication and actions recorded in Zip's audit trail. The platform is available on the web and through an API. Zip says customer data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and it lists access controls and compliance certifications. Pricing is on request. The company says it serves organizations ranging from startups to Fortune 500 enterprises.
