Where Intakt is different
A price on the website
Intakt starts at $199 a month, with requesters, approvers and viewers free. No quote, no multi-year contract.
No rollout project
Sign up and invite your team. A category list comes ready to use, and you set your approval rules and request forms yourself, without code or consultants.
Orders and invoices included
Intakt raises the purchase order, receives the delivery, matches the invoice and builds the payment run, so you do not need a separate purchasing system behind it.
Made for teams without a big procurement department
A department head can buy well on their own: Intakt suggests suppliers, sets a target price and recommends the next move.
What Zip does well
- Deep intake and approval routing across legal, security, finance and procurement
- Many integrations, designed to sit on top of an existing ERP and purchasing stack
- Built for large companies with complex processes
Zip makes sense for a large company with many systems to connect and the budget and time for an implementation project.
