THE CHALLENGE

Instabase is on the cutting edge of AI and workflow automation, conquering
unstructured data and empowering its customers with intelligent document
processing.

But the company’s manual procurement process was at odds with its
technology-driven, high-growth business—creating roadblocks and liabilities.

Arne Mandell, Accounting Lead at Instabase, described the system as a
"worst-case scenario," where the team struggled with matching POs and invoices,
and faced exhausting challenges in vendor management and approval tracking.


THE SOLUTION

After a comprehensive search of procurement solutions, there was one that stood
out.

“Zip had all the bells and whistles we needed and even ones we didn’t know we
needed,” said Monette Quintanilla, Accounting Manager at Instabase.

Automated workflows leveraging logic and conditionality eliminated tedious
manual tasks—and integrations and rapid adoption set the stage for the control
and visibility the company needed to cure the chaos.


THE RESULT

The adoption of Zip marked an immediate transformation in Instabase’s
procurement, simplifying and streamlining the process for the accounting team
and employees across the entire company. With a unified system to submit and
track requests, Zip eradicated the earlier chaos and confusion surrounding POs.

Zip brought together all stakeholders—employees, managers, finance, IT, and
legal teams—offering full visibility into the approval workflow. This
transparency was the key factor in smoothing out the accounting process from
start to finish, eliminating invoice surprises and other issues previously
plaguing the accounting department.

“Before Zip, we couldn’t get a grasp on our total current outstanding pipeline,
but now we can monitor spend and pay vendors on time without the reconciling
errors of the past,” said Mandell.

Instabase adopted the Zip platform early as a beta tester, and took a
forward-looking approach with the company—and it’s paid off.

“We’ve grown together with Zip. There’s no way our team of four people would
still be able to do our role without Zip’s focus in building products for
adoption. Instabase is taking charge of its working capital, and Zip helps
enable that platform,” said Mandell.

> There’s virtually no training needed. There’s no friction for new employees or
> old.
