Case Study: Anthropic scales procurement 5x with Zip

Anthropic scales procurement 5x with Zip and achieves 95% policy adoption

Anthropic, an AI safety and research company, faced significant challenges in scaling its procurement operations during a period of hypergrowth. Without a standardized vendor onboarding or payment process, their workflow was fragmented across multiple disconnected systems, leading to an inability to track renewals and prevent duplicate spending. To address this, Anthropic partnered with Zip to implement its procure-to-pay platform, including Intake-to-Procure and Vendor Cards.

By leveraging Zip's solutions, Anthropic built a structured procure-to-pay process designed to support scaling. The implementation was a success, resulting in 95% policy adoption within the first year. Most notably, Anthropic more than doubled its procure-to-pay volume without adding to its procurement headcount. Zip enabled self-service vendor onboarding and automated renewal tracking, providing the operational foundation for long-term success.
