Procurement and payables, controlled from request to payment
We set up and run your procure-to-pay process: purchase requests and approvals, POs, vendor management, accounts payable and a weekly payment run that decides what to pay and what to hold before cash leaves the bank.
Free 30-minute consultation. No commitment required.
What you get
- Purchase requests with approval workflows
- PO matching and holds for missing POs
- Vendor onboarding and do-not-pay controls
- A weekly payment run with approvals and an audit trail
- Cash position and a 13-week forecast

- No audit trail of who approved what
Our solution
- Request-to-PO workflows with approval limits
- PO holds and matching on vendor bills
- A policy-driven weekly payment run
- DPO targets by spend category, with exceptions flagged

Where AI does the work
AI ranks work, flags exceptions and answers questions, always tied back to the underlying figures. People stay in control of every decision.
AI in procurement
- DPO policy engine: payment-terms targets by category and vendor exceptions decide what enters each run
- Exception flags: balances past DPO target, missing POs and do-not-pay holds are highlighted
- Audit-ready export: every run exports a full trail of approve and reject decisions
Replaces: payment-run spreadsheets, AP aging exports, email approvals and a separate treasury model.

Can you implement a procurement tool for us?
Yes. Our founder implemented Zip procurement with custom workflows at Neuralink and Coupa at Zuora.
