What Zip is
Zip is an AI platform for enterprise procurement that coordinates purchasing workflows from employee requests through payment. Its products include intake-to-procure, procure-to-pay, supplier onboarding, sourcing, risk orchestration, and contract orchestration. Intake-to-procure turns plain-language requests into completed forms and routes them for approval; its agents can validate requests and flag prices that are high against market data. Procure-to-pay covers purchasing and payments, including purchase orders and invoice management. Zip says its marketplace offers more than 100 integrations across ERP, P2P, CLM, GRC, ITSM, and other systems. Connections can use pre-built templates, App Studio, Zip MCP, REST APIs, or flat-file imports. Zip MCP can bring procurement data into compatible tools such as Claude, ChatGPT, and Cursor, with user authentication and actions recorded in an audit trail. The platform is available on the web and through an API. Pricing is on request.
