Ramp offers a variety of products and services:
The company offers smart virtual cards and physical cards alongside spend management software. Users can spin up virtual cards for different online purchases—down from software subscriptions to home office equipment. The cards have built-in controls for security, and there are no foreign transaction fees. Users can also customize the look and feel of the cards with branding and a company logo. Users can also tap to pay with Apple and Google Pay. Contactless payments are also accepted at some retailers across the world.
The company allows users to automate their accounting with direct integrations, auto-categorization, and real-time sync for different transactions. Users can code expenses with integrations for QuickBooks, Xero, Sage, and NetSuite. They also have the ability to export transactions in CSV format for other software providers. Users can import their chart of accounts and create mapping rules for accounting fields—from merchant to department. Then, Ramp automatically categorizes and syncs transactions to their general ledger.
Users can automate expense reporting with cards and software. Employers can control where and how much employees can spend—with daily limits. When receipts are submitted, the app automatically collects, verifies, and reconciles them to automate employee expense reports. Ramp can also reimburse employees for expenses that can’t go on a Ramp card, such as mileage or incidentals.
Ramp offers insights that highlight duplicate subscriptions, increases in spend, or unused partner rewards. The platform also monitors out-of-policy spend and sends alerts by email, text, and Slack to offer users visibility into different expenses. It can be used to search and filter in order to analyze spend by department, location, merchant and others.
Ramp helps companies streamline bill payments with automatic bill creation, approvals, and accounting. With AI-powered invoice processing, users can forward invoices by email or drag-and-drop PDFs for bill creation. The software’s OCR automatically detects vendors, line items, and payment details. Users can create a review and approval process for different bills. Users also get 1.5% cashback when they pay bills with their Ramp card. There is also the option to pay by check or ACH to vendors that do not take credit cards.
Users can streamline finance operations with integrations for accounting, collaboration, and security software. They can automate processes like employee onboarding with Rippling and get alerts and approval requests on Slack. Ramp can be connected to an HR software provider to automate employee onboarding and issue benefits. SSO and 2FA can also be set up with Google Suite and Okta.
