  • Companies on SAP ERP, or needing native multi-entity sync with an ERP other than NetSuite or Sage Intacct

Zip is a weak fit for

  • Companies on QuickBooks Online or Xero, neither of which is on Zip's integration list
  • Buyers who want cards, expenses and travel in one product
  • Teams that need round-the-clock support by contract
