Zip

“When I think of Zip, I think of accelerating things and I think of documentation. This is the best way we found in order for us to get through the process, but also to properly document everything.”

“This streamlined approval process has been pivotal in maintaining Webflow's growth momentum.”

“I'm the final approver. I can see what work has been done, who's already looked at it, and I get extra confidence that we've done our due diligence during the process.”

“Zip allowed us to scale procurement before we hired our first procurement person, enabling us to run multiple buying processes in parallel,”

“For example, we might initially buy a tool with 20 seats, and if we find that six months later we actually need 60 seats, we can use Zip to initiate the process and renegotiate the expansion. Zip ensures it gets proper approval by the proper parties.”

“We use Zip primarily for three things: We use it to handle approvals for new software of contractor spend; we use it to track the renewals, because these things typically have a recurring nature to them, and then we use it to expand,”

“Since implementation of Zip, over 80% of our non headcount-related spend is now going through Zip, allowing us to track and improve it.”

“We went live with Zip and instantly got an explosion of compliance,”

“Zip is nimble enough to handle different attributes to different purchases and contracts, but user-friendly enough that we can let people self-serve.”

“For now, when I look back, having Zip implemented, I have all of the data and all the information I need to be strategic.”

“If you do not have all the data and information, it is impossible to be strategic.”

“So when it comes to the AP team, the invoice automatically matches and it significantly reduces their time to close.”

“We make sure that our requests are compliant, we make sure that we have contracts in place, and we make sure that we have POs issued,”

“They have the ability to be like, 'Oh, it's sitting with legal,' or 'It's sitting with the FP&A team for approval.'”

“Having everything centralized is huge because then you have an understanding of what's upcoming, what your current workload is like, and where everything is sitting,”

“I wasn't able to do that without the support of Zip’s team,”

“As a company that's scaling and growing, we're constantly evolving and constantly changing, and we need a tool that is adaptable to that,”

“We wanted a vendor that understood what we needed at the time of  purchase, but could also support what we would need six months or a year down the road,”

“You get Slack messages from either the VP all the way down to an individual contributor asking, 'Hey, what's the status on this?'”

“You would submit a request and kind of throw it over the fence, and then you have no idea where it's sitting,”

“You would have something come across your desk within the last three days saying the renewal is due,”

“When you don't have visibility into what your spend is, where your renewals are, or really where any of your transactions are coming from, you don't have the ability to be strategic,”

“Zip was instrumental in changing procurement for our team. Having all the data and information in one place made it possible for us to be strategic.”

“Zip helps us to consolidate our supplier base and unlock cost savings, allowing us to reinvest that money into R&D.”

“So many people are ahead of their renewals now because of Zip’s notifications.”
