Ramp

“Ramp has brought tangible value to our finance team, our global employee base, and to me personally. I am obsessed with Ramp.”

“Government can get stuck in its own way. This was a classic case where we dared to be different—and with Ramp, we hit a home run. Change is hard, but so is watching your team drown in manual work when better tools exist.”

“What we've built is a modern system of record for how money moves. When finance runs on one platform, the entire organization moves faster, smarter, and more transparently.”

“In government, you can't just throw bodies at a problem. The question is always: how do we serve more people, faster, without the need to add headcount? Ramp gave us that answer. We got the operational capacity to double our output and advance more strategic initiatives.”

“I snap a picture of the receipt, Ramp handles the rest like magic, and I move on. Gone are the days of sitting down to do expense reports.”

“Our job is to make taxpayer dollars go further, and that means always looking for new ways to be more efficient,”

“In the public sector, every hour and every dollar belongs to the taxpayer. We can't afford to waste either. Ramp ensures we don't.”

“Having been down the trail of multiple software implementations in my long career, this one was nothing — just days, and it was easy.”

“We don't do expense reports now. They just happen. I can take a picture of a receipt in the parking lot and move on. That's a small thing until you're focused on keeping a bunch of Clubhouses safe and running. You don't want paperwork to be what pulls you away from the work.”

“We went from me saying you are so behind on your receipts to actually having real-time, more strategic conversations about budget management.”

“Month-end turned us into the receipt police. Finance shouldn’t be pulling program staff away from their work to confirm the proper coding of a transaction weeks after it’s made. You can't run a nonprofit on guesswork.”

“We used to pay up to $20k a year for our AP platform. With Ramp, we’re earning back well over that amount. That's money that belongs to the mission now, not to the back-office software.”

“Now the users are able to focus on what they need to do to serve our mission. We don’t want faculty and staff worried about invoices and expense reports. We want them focused on our amazing students and our exceptional programs”

“Instead, we hear mostly positive feedback from others outside of our team, which has had a huge impact on team morale.”

“An unexpected consequence is that the finance team is no longer the ‘bad guy,’”

“I no longer have to focus so intently on monthly close. It’s smoother with Ramp. We can review the financials and the implications. I can troubleshoot issues, and then I can spend much more time on strategy and other long-term modeling.”

“I’m much more confident presenting our financials, especially since now our invoices come in and are coded appropriately and captured appropriately in our financial systems from the beginning. Plus, now we have our PO system that goes with it, so we know when the expenses are coming.”

“Ramp monitors and controls our people for us. It locks cards on a rolling basis if they haven’t loaded receipts or coding, it reminds people of approvals needed, and it syncs in real-time with our accounting system.”

“They could create their own POs, Ramp will ingest the line items automatically, so no more manual import. It’s made the process so much easier, and now each school has what it needs, which is great.”

“which is helpful because it used to take close to a month to make a payment, and now it can take just a few days.”

“Each area has been a big improvement. Ramp makes things so much easier to stay on top of our spend. We haven’t had any complaints about not getting paid in months.”

“We held office hours and answered questions constantly, and we spent time moving information from various systems to our accounting system through different types of exports and uploads. We could rarely close on time, and there were some months when it would take the entire month to close the books.”

“We were spending a lot of time working with employees directly to track things down,”

“It got really granular, and there would be a lot of line items that would come through in a quote that we’d then have to manually put into the PO to send back. This was not only taking up our team’s time, it was also delaying the curriculum and supplies schools needed.”

“It might sit with an approver for way too long, so it wasn’t being captured.”
