About Zinit

Zinit is an AI procurement company. It helps PE firms lower their portfolio companies' costs for everyday business purchases, like facilities, maintenance, packaging and IT, and boost EBITDA margin. Zinit cuts these costs by 16.7%, with first results within a month. It already works with a PE firm managing over $70B in assets.

For a PE firm

What Zinit can do for a PE firm:

Take over sourcing for portfolio companies' everyday purchases, so each company captures the savings with the team it already has.
Pool purchases across Zinit's PE and large enterprise clients, about $2B in combined spend, so portfolio companies buy at pre-negotiated prices with 100+ suppliers.
There's no cost to the fund, because suppliers pay Zinit's fee.
To start, Zinit needs a spreadsheet of what a company spends in a few categories, and it shows where the savings are.

The product

Sourcing (BPO). Zinit's procurement experts take over sourcing for these categories. With AI tools, they find suppliers, get competing bids and negotiate the deals.
Buying as a group (GPO). Zinit pools purchases across its clients, about $2B in combined spend. Portfolio companies buy at Zinit's pre-negotiated prices with 100+ suppliers.
AI sourcing platform. It turns a file with sites, specs and volumes into an RFP, finds suppliers in a database of 105M+ companies and gives the buyer a comparison table. The buyer makes the call.
Supplier success team. Zinit's team and AI agents reach out to suppliers, vet them and onboard them, so suppliers show up and bid.
