Ramp

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

“Ramp is one of those secret advantages that maybe we shouldn’t be talking so much about,”

“In a time when it’s quarter close and you’re negotiating seven deals, the fact that Ramp has that much bandwidth, capacity, insights, API…it gives us a lot of comfort that we can come to Ramp at any point in the future,”

“Being able to save along the way means that we have some wiggle room in terms of the tools we can bring on, the people we can hire. [The savings we’ve realized with Ramp] mean everything in terms of not only revenue return on the investment, but also operations in general.”

“We’ve been an Intercom customer since 2014. Every year, renegotiating was a hassle we had to deal with, and it’s a less effective use of time for our team.”

“With Ramp, we get deep granularity and department-level coding. So we actually understand our ad spend by program, by P&L in the business. It gives a great amount of visibility, such that then decision-makers can act on it very expeditiously. We’re not waiting for one month for post-close to review analysis on how an ad strategy worked -- we know the next day how it worked.”

“One of the biggest finance challenges that companies go through at this stage is not only having a plan but sticking to it and reporting and guiding accordingly,”

“That could have taken months, in terms of getting all the collateral and paperwork. With Ramp, it was all perfectly furnished, tied to the ERP. It was just an incredible experience. The end-to-end operations are exactly what they should be -- it’s a no brainer at the end of the day.”

“We’re able to really delegate that authority right down to the individual decision-maker.”

“With Ramp’s system, we’re able to -- and this is a big part of our value system -- let the team make the decisions that are best and most in their interests,”

“We’d heard great things about Ramp and moved [quickly] in that direction,”

“In growth-oriented startups, time is actually our most expensive commodity, we want to execute and move fast.”

“I’m almost flabbergasted that we made it that far with the one-card solution, because that would definitely not scale right now.”

“Before Ramp, we were actually with another upstart called Lola, which went through a shutdown in the middle of the pandemic. Prior to that, we were with AmEx. It was a terrible world where everyone was sharing one AmEx card, and one fraud event would literally just ruin thousands of transactions that we have set up,”

“When we think about what’s holding us back, it’s execution speed”

“Prior to Ramp, we were actually closer to net 12 days [to close each month]”

“The savings we've realized with Ramp mean everything in terms of not only revenue return on the investment, but also operations in general.”

“We’re actually seeing a pretty positive net gain from dropping the [Expensify] subscription cost and getting Ramp’s cashback rebate [...]”

“Through Ramp, we added a pick list for our CapEx project numbers, to validate those before they come out of the system instead of happening after the fact,” he says. “Now we’re able to balance that on a monthly basis, which has increased accuracy.”

“That workflow works a lot better than saving all the receipts and uploading them to Expensify at the end of the month.”

“It’s pretty self-explanatory for people to get in and start working with it,” says Josh. “There was not much of an onboarding process, which is a good thing.”

“There’s really not much reconciliation that has to happen, because all direct expenses get exported into the accounting system.”

“Ramp allowed me to build a team of highly skilled people who have better thought processes and who can tackle more strategic projects, rather than burning time on manual work.”

“The feedback I get from everyone at Zola is just positive,”

“I’ve noticed in the last few years that auditors have focused on more random sampling,”
