Zip
Your Partner for Spend Intake and Orchestration – Powered by Zip
Zip’s spend intake and procurement orchestration platform is built for business impact. Leading companies of all sizes trust Zip to help them work smarter and spend better – and they trust The Hackett Group® to harness Zip’s AI-powered capabilities to optimize source-to-pay (S2P) processes. That’s why Zip chose us to be its first implementation partner.
Our Zip and eProcurement experience translates to tangible benefits
As Zip’s first strategic implementation partner, we understand the technology, how it improves spend intake and procurement orchestration, and what makes it unique. We apply that insight, along with extensive procurement operating model experience and our advanced AI implementation capabilities, to elevate source-to-pay performance:
Optimize spend intake and orchestration
Spend intake and orchestration should support procurement strategy and service delivery, helping users navigate and comply with S2P processes. We bring robust perspectives of best practices in each of the intake and orchestration domains – and use that knowledge to tailor solutions based on your organization, processes, and policies. As a Zip partner, we continuously update our design approach for the latest product enhancements.
