The #1 Zip Alternative

Zip Alternative: Zapro Delivers True P2P - Not Just Intake & Approvals

Zip is strong at intake and approvals, but it stops short at procurement and Accounts Payable AP automation. Zapro provides the entire procure to pay P2P cycle in one unified solution.

Zip Problems

Why Companies Choose a Zip Alternative

Intake Only Platform

Zip is designed primarily to route spending requests and approvals. Zapro handles the subsequent operational steps, managing procurement, Accounts Payable AP, and payments, completing the P2P cycle.

No AP Automation

Zip cannot manage complex invoice processing, automated three way matching, or payment execution. Zapro automates all AP, eliminating manual invoice approvals and ensuring accuracy.

No Procurement Tools

Zip is missing essential Procurement tools like formal Purchase Orders POs, Purchase Requisitions PRs, and vendor sourcing capabilities. Zapro covers the complete purchasing process.

Limited Vendor Data

Zip focuses on the requestor's immediate need. Zapro provides full Vendor Management including onboarding, compliance checks, contract association, and ongoing vendor lifecycle tracking.

Add On Pricing

Zip typically charges per module or for advanced features, leading to unpredictable, higher costs. Zapro offers transparent, full suite pricing for all P2P capabilities.

No Spend Analytics

Zip focuses mainly on tracking the status of approvals. Zapro provides comprehensive, real time Spend Analytics and dashboards for proactive budget control and financial reporting.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is Zapro different from Zip?

Zip is primarily an intake and approval routing tool. Zapro is a complete P2P platform that includes the intake layer plus the operational layers of procurement (PO generation and management) and Accounts Payable AP (invoice processing, matching, and payment preparation).

Does Zapro handle invoice processing and payment execution?

Yes. Zapro has full AP automation built in. It manages invoice ingestion, automatically matches invoices to POs and receipts, routes them for final approval, and integrates with your payment systems for scheduled vendor disbursement.

Can Zapro replace my current PO system and my intake tool?

Yes. Zapro includes robust functionality for both. It features a powerful request intake and approval engine (like Zip) and full PO and requisition management (like a dedicated procurement system), allowing you to consolidate multiple tools.
