“We use Zip for everything.”- Mark Zafra, Chief of Procurement at LiveRamp Before Zip, LiveRamp’s procurement team was juggling 7+ intake forms, scattered sourcing processes, and surprise invoices. Now? - 99% of transactions flow through Zip - Average cycle time is down to 33 days - Strategic sourcing is the new standard From RFx to intake, vendor reviews to risk approvals, Zip is powering procurement orchestration at scale for one of the world’s leading data collaboration companies. As Mark puts it: "By centralizing with procurement orchestration, people no longer need to go multiple places. They move faster and they're happier." LiveRamp was Zip’s first public company customer. Today, they’re proof that with the right process, procurement leads from the front. 🎥 Watch the full story: https://lnkd.in/eVdk6hmm

Here’s what changed: 🧩 Cross-functional collaboration: Legal, finance, risk, and compliance all work together in one unified flow ⏱️ Faster throughput: Manual bottlenecks removed, approvals accelerated 🔎 Real-time transparency: Everyone knows where requests stand—no more chasing status updates 🙅♂️ 0 headcount needed: Betterment scaled procurement without hiring a dedicated team “Zip gives us the transparency and speed we needed—and helps us stay lean, nimble, and aligned as we grow.” See how Betterment powers procurement without a procurement team: https://lnkd.in/eiKXx2EN Want to see Zip in action?
