Join Ardent Partners and Zip on March 26th (1 PM ET) as they discuss Uniting Intake to Payment to Drive 2026 Performance.
In 2026, the most successful CPOs aren’t just managing spend, they’re mastering the entire supplier lifecycle. Yet, too many procurement and AP teams are still sidelined by a fundamental disconnect: a large gap and breakdown between the time a request is made and how and when a supplier is paid.
When your intake process is fragmented and doesn’t connect through the full lifecycle, procurement teams lose visibility, velocity, and influence. This misalignment forces P2P teams into a reactive role, cleaning up maverick spend and managing exceptions instead of driving collaborative relationships and strategic outcomes.
On March 26, join Andrew Bartolini (Ardent Partners) and Nick Heinzmann (Zip) for a session designed specifically for the CPO-CFO partnership. They will discuss the need for modern procurement teams to move past the ‘silo’ conversation and present the blueprint for a unified Intake-to-Pay flow, where governance is embedded, transactions are frictionless, and the data is robust and accurate.
