Their goal was to transform the slow, messy process of procurement into an effortless experience that could deliver unmatched value to businesses worldwide. With the launch of Zip's leading Intake-to-Procure solution, they set a new standard for the industry by bringing a consumer-grade user experience to B2B purchasing.

Today, Zip has grown into a powerful procurement orchestration platform that helps companies of all sizes procure with the fastest process, least risk, and best value so they can drive greater impact on the world. By streamlining intake, sourcing, vendor management, purchase orders, and global payments in one flexible platform, Zip provides unmatched transparency and control over how and when purchases are made.
