Spend Matters Future 5 2021 – Featuring ZIP

Future 5 Friday is back again! Spend Matters has partnered with SIG for a 5 part podcast series to showcase this year's Future 5 list – a group of newly emerged procurement technology start-ups that you should know about. Over the next 2 months leading up to our Procurement Technology Summit in April, we'll be interviewing the founders of each featured company to find out what it means to be a Future 5.   Up next is ZIP - a fast-growing vendor start-up that describes itself as operating in a new segment adjacent to and overlapping with P2P known as "intake-to-procure." Its value proposition is to provide both requesters and stakeholders with an "intelligent, intuitive front-end to their ERP or P2P." On this episode, Dawn sits down with Rujul Zaparde, ZIP's Chief Executive Officer and Co-founder, to talk about the success that has yielded them the recognition of being a Future 5 company. Dawn and Rujul elaborate on what they forecast as some of the biggest challenges that procurement will face over the coming years and how ZIP is planning to tackle them.
