“If the AI is working and alleviating some of the tactical work, taking reporting off our plates and daily tasks that bog us down, the team is able to be more strategic, lean in, and do it all.

Katie Streu
Head of Procurement

“What stood out to us about Zip’s agents was its ability to bring greater visibility, alignment, and discipline to complex enterprise decisions. In one major IT infrastructure initiative, it contributed to more than $20 million in cost avoidance and value recapture.

Susanna Rustad
CPO

“For procurement, AI is transformational. These moments we spend chasing POs, unlocking terms and conditions, explaining risk for the fifth, tenth, fifteenth time — they don't just eat minutes, they eat our creativity, our focus, our innovation, the good stuff.
