它能做什么

ZIP是一个新的供应商，它将自己描述为在邻近的新段中的操作和与称为“摄入到采购”的P2P重叠的新段中操作。其价值主张是为请求者和利益相关者提供“智能，直观的前端到他们的ERP或P2P”。

压缩is therefore meant to be the one place for any employee to initiate a new purchase or vendor request through a flexible, configurable intake that requires no code to change. Zip will then support communication and approvals to ensure that the need is clearly understood and that all sign-offs are obtained.

邮政的解决方案有三个功能区域:摄入,approvals, and supplier 360. In intake, users are provided with intuitive forms that help to understand the user’s needs and, when applicable, guide the user to any relevant contracts or documents. Zip approvals uses Zip’s no-code, user-friendly workflow system. Users can very easily tweak workflows and manage approvals for a given procurement objective. Zip supplier 360 is its vendor portal, wherein suppliers are prompted for information via questionnaires and real-time logic, much like its buy-side intake system. Zip is working to add dashboarding and spend analysis capabilities.

为什么我们选择它

ZIP被选为2021未来5，因为它正在解决采购中的一个主要问题，即其他供应商尚未通过采购过程中的利益相关者在内尚未有效地解决。通过直接收到利益相关者的查询和需求，ZIP允许公司直接削减不必要的中间人和路线要求进入采购过程的适当领域。虽然其他工具主要关注该过程，但ZIP纳入利益相关者互动是其价值主张的核心。此外，利益相关者还通过Zip的界面直接在整个采购过程中保持在循环中。

此外，ZIP具有高适用性作为许多其他系统的前端。这将与其在其价值主张上交付到日期及其方便的用户体验中，使解决方案成熟，以满足广泛的最终用户兼容性。这一事实只会通过ZIP早期而令人鼓舞的客户收购率。总的来说，很容易理解为什么拉链值得其2021年的未来5选择。

未来的任何威胁或挑战？

While Zip’s ease of use, centralized workflow, and stakeholder involvement are conspicuous advantages, it does face some risks. For example, companies may be deterred by its current lack of certain capabilities. Strong marketing and a positive track record could mitigate concerns of migrating to a new type of software, but it is always a challenge to ask an organization to rethink the way it operates to any extent, no matter how impressive a particular offering may be.

此外，“摄入到采购”市场尚未如定义存在。拉链需要呼吁呼吁渴望一些但不是全P2P能力的公司，同时理解ZIP在标准P2P提供商可能忽视或不必要的地区提供益处。

最后，虽然Zip的禁止提供直观和吸引人，但它将
