What is Zip?
Founded in 2020 and headquartered in San Francisco, Zip provides procurement orchestration for enterprise organizations. It has raised $371 million and connects purchasing requests with supplier, risk, contract and payment workflows.
Zip is a cloud procurement platform that gives employees one entry point for purchase, supplier and contract requests. Configurable forms collect required information, then route each request through policy-based approvals involving procurement, finance, legal, IT, security and risk teams. The platform connects intake with sourcing, supplier onboarding, purchase orders, invoices, payments and downstream business systems. This keeps cross-functional reviews attached to the same purchasing record.
Its scope covers intake-to-procure, procure-to-pay, sourcing, supplier management, risk orchestration, contract orchestration, spend insights and global payments. Zip works primarily as an orchestration layer over an existing enterprise stack rather than a replacement for every specialist system. Advanced contract, risk, analytics and payment requirements may depend on integrations or separately scoped modules. Buyers can therefore retain specialist tools while coordinating their reviews through Zip.
Zip targets complex, distributed procurement operations, especially global and Global 2000 organizations managing indirect spend, technology, services and regulated supplier relationships. Pricing is quote-based and generally structured as an annual enterprise license, with scope influenced by employees, users, modules and integrations. Vendr lists a $26,586 annual low and $88,000 median, alongside a $75,000 AWS Marketplace pilot for 100 active users and one workflow.
