• One-click approval updates: Zip’s new one-click approval updates feature provides a greater level of detail into each specific spend request and approval within the review chain. This allows users to quickly reassign, change the status of or complete tasks with a single click within the review chain to streamline the approval process.

• Scrolling page tabs: Zip’s reimagined page tabs layout allows users to auto-scroll for more details all on a single page. This makes it easier for procurement teams to more quickly view any request detail, as well as continue to see the request summary and interact with comments.

Approvers can also host private conversations and customize their view of comments side-by-side with the approval stream.

Modern User Experience Leads to Significant Time Savings, Improved Employee Adoption Zip’s leading intake-to-procure platform brings an easy-to-use, consumer-grade user experience to the B2B purchasing process, enabling procurement teams to boost productivity, efficiency and ROI. The platform’s modern approach to user experience improves the adoption of procurement processes and can reduce spend request cycle time by more than 35%. By streamlining the purchasing processes, employees can more quickly deploy the software and services they need to do their jobs faster, leading to an improved employee experience. While the majority of businesses have a uniform B2B purchasing process in place, many still struggle to drive adoption across their employee base. This can often result in employees bringing on new software outside of the proper channels, which carries significant business risk. Zip’s latest platform enhancements make it easier for procurement and finance leaders to track, manage and audit purchase requests, allowing for greater control and visibility into the B2B purchasing lifecycle. Finance, legal, IT and security teams can be engaged at exactly the right time to effectively manage spend approvals with coordinated input from all necessary stakeholders. SOURCE: Businesswire
