Miro scales procurement operations with Zip AI, reducing cycle times by 33%

The problem

After explosive growth in 2021, Miro's procurement team struggled to keep pace with the company's expansion, letting vendor negotiations, benchmarking, and RFPs fall by the wayside. Disjointed processes and scattered information created manual, error-prone work for auditing and compliance, with no single source of truth to track activity.
