Frequently Asked Questions

What is procurement software?
Procurement software is a digital platform that automates and streamlines the entire purchasing lifecycle — from requisitioning and sourcing to contract management, purchase orders, invoicing, and payment. For manufacturers, it replaces manual spreadsheets, email-based approvals, and disconnected ERP workarounds with a single, unified system that gives full visibility into spend, suppliers, and compliance.
How is procurement software different from ERP purchasing modules?
ERP systems like SAP and Oracle handle transactional purchasing — raising POs, processing invoices, and recording payments. Procurement software goes further by covering strategic functions like sourcing optimization, supplier risk management, contract lifecycle management, and spend analytics. Zycus integrates natively with your existing ERP so you keep your financial system of record while adding intelligence on top.
Can procurement software handle both direct and indirect spend for manufacturers?
Yes. Zycus manages direct materials (raw materials, components, sub-assemblies) and indirect spend (MRO, facilities, IT, professional services) within a single platform. This gives manufacturers a complete view of total spend and eliminates the blind spots that typically exist between production procurement and corporate purchasing.
Does Zycus support ITAR, DFARS, and Buy American compliance?
Yes. Zycus is built with compliance-first architecture that supports ITAR (International Traffic in Arms Regulations), DFARS (Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement), Buy American Act requirements, and conflict minerals reporting. Automated compliance checks are embedded into sourcing events, supplier onboarding, and contract workflows so nothing slips through.
How is Zycus different from SAP Ariba or Coupa?
Zycus is a natively built, organically integrated Source-to-Pay platform — not a patchwork of acquisitions. This means tighter module integration, faster deployment, and lower total cost of ownership. Zycus also leads in AI innovation with its Merlin Agentic AI platform, recognized by Gartner and Forrester. For mid-market manufacturers ($100M–$750M revenue), Zycus offers enterprise-grade capabilities without the complexity and cost of legacy platforms.
How is "Built-in Intake" different from other tools?
Unlike competitors who use bolt-on third-party tools, our Intake is native to the platform. It captures demand from email, Teams, or Slack and automatically creates requisitions.
