IPEX · Intelligent Procurement Exchange

The procurement exchange your team never has to run.

IPEX is the platform Versatex operates on your behalf — one exchange, one supplier network, one set of analytics. Guided buying, self-routing approvals, invoicing, and three-way match across all of your indirect spend.

Existing users launch live IPEX operations in the connected Zapro app via single sign-on.
The problem it removes

Manual, fragmented buying is expensive in every direction.

When indirect purchasing is scattered across emails, spreadsheets, and one-off vendors, cost and risk pile up where no one is watching.

Fragmented buying

Dozens of channels, hundreds of suppliers, no single way to request a purchase. Off-contract spend becomes the default.

Manual invoicing

Invoices arrive every format imaginable and get matched by hand — slow, error-prone, and impossible to audit at scale.

No visibility

By the time spend shows up in a report, the money is gone. Leakage and maverick buying hide in the tail.

How it works

Four moves, fully managed.

Your buyers experience a simple, guided flow. Behind it, our team runs the exchange end to end.

1

Guided buying

Buyers request the right item the right way, from curated catalogs that already reflect your contracts.

2

Approvals

Requests self-route by amount, category, and policy — no chasing, no bottlenecks.

3

Invoicing

Suppliers submit invoices into IPEX (PO-flip or manual); status is visible to everyone.

4

3-way match

PO, receipt, and invoice reconcile automatically; exceptions surface for our team to resolve.

What you get

Control, compliance, visibility — and your time back.

Control

Every purchase flows one controlled path. Off-contract buying stops being the default.

Compliance

Policy, approvals, and a complete audit trail are built into the flow, not bolted on after.

Visibility

Live spend, savings, and cycle-time data across every category and supplier.

Time back

Your analysts stop processing low-value POs and return to strategic work.

Where it fits

Works alongside the systems you already run.

IPEX doesn't replace your ERP — it sits in front of your indirect spend and feeds clean, matched data back. We integrate with your ERP (e.g. SAP Ariba), punch-out catalogs, and supplier networks, so buying gets easier without re-platforming anything.

  • ERP integration — SAP Ariba, Oracle, and more
  • Punch-out & hosted catalogs
  • Supplier networks & the Versatex supplier base
  • Read-only feeds to your live analytics
