Zip Erfahrungen

Do you want to manage purchases/cost? Start here!

Kommentare: It's been a great tool, especially being new to procurement. I have seen what no procurement process can do, not only first hand but done research into how companies manage procurement. If they would invest in visualization, managing purchases rather than not having budget, after spending, companies would be more profitable, and retain employees.

Vorteile:

While I am fairly new to Procurement, I am not new to using tools/software. It is an easy tool to learn/keeps your purchases flowing with visibility across the purchase. You can taper the workflow easily if/when there is change in the organization/types of purchases. The support team is amazing, they do not delay if you have any issues. More importantly, they welcome feedback on improvements and implement them.

Nachteile:

They have a few bugs here/there (nothing that stops the flow). Limited reporting and would like more information on CSV files.

Zip is a Game Changer!

Kommentare: Zip has been a great tool and resource for our company. The customer support team has been very responsive and helpful every step of the way from implementation, to go-live, and sustainment. Their Admin training is helpful in ensuring companies are equipped with the right knowledge to maintain the system on their own.

Vorteile:

Zip is easy to configure and customize conditions that fit your company needs. The workflow visibility is very helpful so everyone can see status of a request and what steps are remaining. Zip also makes vendor onboarding easy and has helped transform this manual process into a seamless electronic experience for our supply base.

Nachteile:

Downloading invoice data is helpful, however Zip does not have the ability to pre-set report conditions for recurring data review. They have this feature on the request side, and I would love for this expanded capability to be available on the invoice side as well.

Zip makes my Procurement life hassle-free

Kommentare: It benefits our Procurement Team by saving time and streamlining processes. Overall my experience with Zip has been positive and less stressful.

Vorteile:

It's user-friendly interface, simplicity in data collection and efficiency in streamlining various processes related to procurement or form submissions.

Nachteile:

The potential limitations in handling complex procurement needs and issues related to customization options or integrations.

Easy & Effective

Kommentare: The support team is amazing and super responsive. The product/engineering team takes all requests into consideration and the tool has improved drastically from 2yrs ago when we started.

Vorteile:

The tool is easy to manage and set up and more importantly modify workflows on the fly. It offers all of the main features any procurement management tool offers. Internal adoption was simple and the visual representation of where a request is at improved the internal understand of procurement.

Nachteile:

The reporting functionality is the area the tools needs improvement.

Best procurement tool, easiest setup

Vorteile:

The product gives visibility to our users and everyone involved in the procurement process, allowing procurement to focus on adding value vs pushing paper.

Nachteile:

Zip is so customizable that whenever we saw something we didn't like, the Zip team helped us solution. Their product team pushes out improvements weekly.

Zip is a great solution for vendor approvals with a great user experience

Kommentare: My experience with Zip has been very positive. It solves a real problem around vendor approvals and compliance for me and my team.

Vorteile:

Absolutely the user experience is far superior than that of any other enterprise software I’ve ever seen, especially in procurement. And the no-code configuration of Zip.

Nachteile:

I wish Zip had more GRC integrations supported and more flexible reporting capabilities, but I know the team there is working on it.

We route our upstream procurement processes through Zip.

Kommentare: I love working with Zip. The team is extremely responsive to my needs, and the solution is easily configurable by my team without much help/IT assistance.

Vorteile:

I love Zips slack integration and UI. I also love the flexibility of the workflow solution.

Nachteile:

There aren’t enough contingent worker and invoicing capabilities.

ZIP (Procurement and Accounts payablet)

Vorteile:

The best thing about ZIP is that it synchronizes with Netsuite and helps us automate the creation of purchase orders and the onboarding of new vendors in Netsuite. It has been great from a workflow perspective and allows you to create your own workflow and procurement threshold for internal approvals. So far, I have no complaints about anything and the support has been excellent in case we need any custom changes.

Nachteile:

I don't have any particular complaints, but I would like to provide some feedback that could be considered for the development of new features. Specifically, I would suggest incorporating artificial intelligence to help suggest information for renewals and recommend GL codes for purchase orders based on previous coding.g (only if possible).

Making things easy with ZIP

Kommentare: I use ZIP for procure to pay process. Use of ZIP will start from onboarding vendors up to payable processing. 1. ZIP helped us to eliminate manual processes such as uploading vendor invoices. It was able to pick up all the vendor invoices in our designated email. 2. ZIP also aide us in eliminating the manual process in our endorsement for approval and to treasury. Through ZIP, there is an automated notification for the users and approvers through email and slack.

Vorteile:

1. Integration with accounting system, specifically Netsuite. 2. All-in-one platform where you can onboard, process, and pay 3. ZIP is very user-friendly

Nachteile:

As a user from asian country, I think the only dislike with ZIP is the availability of their admins and/or customer support since they're based in western countries.

Great Agile Procurement Platform

Kommentare: Great platform that has helped with spend visibility and procurement approvals

Vorteile:

Easy to use, Clear UI, easy implementation

Nachteile:

Too focused on the US market and not other regions

A game changer!

Kommentare: Zip has enabled us to better track our procurement department's performance metrics, from cycle time for requests to how long each approver takes to review/approve a request. It has also allowed us to better communicate internally with our teams via the Zip request record. It also serves as a one-stop shop for any/all procurement-related functions, from submitting a simple purchase request to requesting a review from our legal/security teams. Overall, it has helped us centralize our procurement operations, giving each department clear visibility into what is going through our pipeline.

Vorteile:

I love that Zip allows us to customize our approval workflows as much as possible - especially compared to other procurement systems. It is clear that the Zip team is on a mission to be the best in the market, and in my opinion, they are well on their way to being exactly that. Such a user-friendly platform has reduced our need to train our internal requesters on how to submit purchase requests, thus giving our procurement team more bandwidth to work on more important things. It has also enabled our internal approvers to maneuver through their reviews quickly and with ease. [SENSITIVE CONTENT], our customer success expert, has also been a pleasure to work with! She is always available to answer any/all questions promptly and has done an excellent job of keeping our teams connected via recurring sync sessions.

Nachteile:

There aren't many things to mention here as far as dislikes. The only "dislikes" to mention are minor user interface issues, like not being able to open a request on a separate tab when viewing the complete list of pending approvals or not being able to customize the drop-down status list on certain approval steps (i.e. the only options as of now are to choose between "ready to start" "in progress" "waiting on vendor" and "blocked internally"). It would be nice to be able to add additional statuses like "approved with conditions" or "waiting on requester reply", etc).

Simplified and streamlined procurement at scale

Kommentare: We use Zip for all procurement requests, approvals, PO, invoicing and payments for the entire organization. We use it as a single point of entry for all requests and use dynamic intake to collect all the needed information regardless of the type or amount of spend then use the information gathered at intake to automatically create and route approvals to all the necessary stakeholders. Zip is our single source of truth for purchase requests, contracts, renewals, purchase orders, payments, etc. Pretty much everything procurement related.

Vorteile:

*Logically and simply built; easy to modify and customize for your specific needs*Works well at any scope; startup to enterprise*Integrations with the systems our teams already use make it easy for various departments to interact with Zip*Provides a centralized intake for any procurement and business needs and requests*Employees love the simplicity of the intake, Slack integrations and knowing where to go for what they need*Dynamic intake makes it easy to collect the right information and generate the appropriate approval workflow automatically

Nachteile:

*It's not immune to some of the minor challenges and bugs expected with any startup, but they're quick to identify and fix.

Zip: One Stop Shop

Kommentare: I think Zip is doing something very innovative in the space of Procurement. I think their greatest strength is listening to their customers and coming up with reasonable solutions at a rapid speed.

Vorteile:

The easy deployment of the tool is of great importance. Not having to use a 3rd party implementation team is a huge cost-saving component of why Zip won our business. The support team is also the best of the best. Operating super small, they are able to identify, support, and implement fixes at great speed. In comparison to other tools, you would have to pay extra for this level of support. The workflow builder with the ability to customize questions based on conditions and set layers of approvals based on it is extremely important to make it easy for users to adopt and administer to perform change management.

Nachteile:

Integration between tools like Vendr and Ironclad can be improved. For example, if the comment section in Ironclad can somehow be transferred over to Zip, that would make the entire experience seamless between the two systems. No sharable reports make it a pain for each user to create the same filtered view.

Zip EO

Vorteile:

Now that I can see my expenses in more detail, I am being careful.

Nachteile:

Actually, there is nothing that I don't like at the moment. Only the interface part can be edited and that's it.

Zip gives us visibility into our upcoming spend pipeline

Vorteile:

I love Zip’s Slack integration, simple UI, and how flexible each workflow can actually be depending on what the purchase is for. I’ve truly never seen any procurement software like this.

Nachteile:

I wish there were more features for contingent workers instead of for software, services, and other spend categories in general
