## What the story says

Snowflake uses Zip as a single intake point for purchase requests, bringing privacy, legal, security and procurement reviews into one automated approval workflow. This replaced fragmented procurement tools and gave the company earlier visibility into spend.

> Zip delivered Snowflake a comprehensive intake to pay platform that not only unified procurement processes but also gained enthusiastic company-wide adoption.
