## What the story says

Datadog replaced a fragmented procurement setup of disconnected systems with Zip, centralizing all procurement requests into a single intake with unified approvals. It later moved purchase orders and invoice processing from Coupa into Zip's Procure-to-Pay.

Summary written by usedby from the source page, in English. The figures are those of Zip and Datadog, not ours.

> Procurement cycle times dropped from 30-60 days to 4.9 days for purchases, 8.7 days for software, and 19 days for vendor onboarding.

- **4.9 days**: “Precise cycle times of 4.9 days for purchases, 8.7 days for software, and 19 days for vendor onboarding, reducing times by over 75%”

> The decision to implement Zip was closely aligned with a value that's very important to Datadog, and that is always to break down silos.
