Who it serves: Employees submitting requests; procurement, finance, legal, IT and risk reviewers; suppliers supplying onboarding information; administrators maintaining workflows.

WOP category: Intake and orchestration, with supplier-risk overlap. Primary role: workflow and control. Zip also advertises its own procure-to-pay functions, so its role can extend beyond connecting other tools. Procure-to-pay.

Advertised capabilities: Plain-language request capture, configurable approval paths, supplier records, risk triage and assessments, supplier onboarding and integration with existing systems.
