Terms & Conditions: This offer is documented publicly at: --- ## Overview - Ramp Procurement is intake-to-pay software that streamlines how businesses request, approve, and purchase — from AI-powered intake through three-way matching and payment, all in one platform. - Intake to pay is now 3x faster with Ramp. One customer went from weeks to get approval down to approximately 48 hours. - Trusted by 50,000+ businesses. Supports software subscriptions, contractors, hardware, marketing services, and any one-off or recurring purchase with customizable intake forms. --- ## Core Capabilities ### AI-Powered Intake * Drop in a contract or screenshot and Ramp's AI parses details and auto-fills the request form * Centralized request forms capture vendor, purpose, cost, and contract terms * Customizable intake forms by department or vendor type * Eliminates manual data entry and kicks off the procurement cycle instantly * **Use cases:** An employee uploads a vendor contract screenshot; Ramp's AI extracts the vendor name, cost, and terms, fills out the request form, and routes it for approval — no manual entry needed ### Dynamic Approval Routing * Rules-based workflows route requests to the right stakeholders automatically based on vendor type, spend category, or dollar amount * Parallel approvals pull in finance, IT, legal, and security simultaneously — not sequentially * Approve requests directly in Slack * Conduct seamless contract reviews with Ironclad integration * **Use cases:** A software request automatically routes to IT for security review and finance for budget approval at the same time — cutting approval time from weeks to 48 hours ### Centralized Collaboration & Documentation * All requests, discussions, and documents in one place — no back-and-forth meetings * Captures and stores vendor contracts, W9s, payment information, and compliance forms during intake * Full purchase-to-payment audit trail * **Use cases:** Legal, finance, and IT all review a vendor contract in the same request thread, attach their sign-offs, and the audit trail is automatically preserved for compliance ### Purchase Order Management * Automatically generates purchase orders after approval, giving clear visibility into committed spend * Purchase orders sync directly with NetSuite and QuickBooks Online — no manual re-entry * Supports importing existing POs from NetSuite and QuickBooks Online * One-time virtual cards auto-generated post-approval for immediate purchasing * **Use cases:** A procurement request is approved and Ramp auto-generates the PO, syncs it to NetSuite, and issues a one-time virtual card — the employee can start purchasing immediately ### Three-Way Matching & Invoice Reconciliation * Automated three-way match validates invoices against purchase orders and item receipts * Instantly flags discrepancies in units, prices, or totals * Set thresholds or automatically block payments when mismatches occur * Supports both two-way and three-way matching, with records generated in Ramp or imported from QuickBooks Online and NetSuite * **Use cases:** A vendor submits an invoice for 120 units at $50 each, but the PO was for 100 units at $45 — Ramp flags both discrepancies and blocks payment until resolved ### Accounts Payable Integration * Automate invoice processing, collect payment and tax information, and pay vendors via ACH, check, card, or wire * Process all AP in minutes, not days * Fully connected to Ramp's accounts payable workflows * **Use cases:** Once a three-way match is validated, the invoice is auto-approved and payment is scheduled via the vendor's preferred method — no separate AP system needed ### Vendor Intelligence & Savings * Benchmark quotes against thousands of real, anonymized transactions to negotiate the best price * Detect overlapping services and get alerted to upcoming renewals with a consolidated vendor view * Connect Okta to surface software usage and identify inactive seats to cut costs * Flag recurring vendors and set up automated contract renewal reminders * Route contract renewals through the same intake and approval process * **Use cases:** Before renewing a SaaS contract, Ramp shows that similar companies pay 20% less for the same tool — the finance team uses this data to negotiate a lower rate and cancels 15 inactive seats surfaced by the Okta integration --- ## Key Benefits Summary * Intake to pay 3x faster — AI-powered intake eliminates manual request forms * Parallel approval routing cuts approval cycles from weeks to hours * Three-way matching (invoice vs. PO vs. receipt) catches discrepancies and blocks overbilling automatically * Purchase orders auto-generated and synced to NetSuite and QuickBooks Online * Vendor intelligence benchmarks pricing against anonymized transaction data for better negotiation * Renewal alerts, usage tracking via Okta, and consolidated vendor view prevent waste * Full audit trail from intake through payment for compliance * Integrates with Slack, Ironclad, NetSuite, QuickBooks Online, and Okta --- ## Customer Success ### Skin Pharm — Kaela Patrinely, CFO "We went from weeks to get approval to about 48 hours. From a timeliness standpoint, clinics can get what they need sooner because their managers are approving their requests on time." --- ## Intake-to-Pay vs. Procure-to-Pay * **Procure-to-pay** starts with a formal purchase order and moves through receiving, invoice matching, and payment — common in ERP-heavy workflows * **Intake-to-pay** starts one step earlier with a user-friendly request form, giving teams visibility and control before PO or payment creation * Ramp follows the intake-to-pay model to support faster, more flexible purchasing workflows while still enforcing policy and integrating with ERPs --- ## Typical Procurement Flow 1. **Request:** Employee submits an intake request — drops in a contract or screenshot and Ramp's AI auto-fills the form. 2. **Route:** Request automatically routes to the right stakeholders (finance, IT, legal, security) in parallel based on rules. 3. **Collaborate:** All discussion, documentation, and sign-offs happen in one centralized thread. 4. **Approve:** Stakeholders approve directly in Ramp or via Slack. Contract reviews happen through Ironclad. 5. **Generate PO:** Purchase order auto-generated and synced to NetSuite or QuickBooks Online. One-time virtual card issued if needed. 6. **Receive & Match:** Invoices are three-way matched against POs and item receipts. Discrepancies flagged, payments blocked until resolved. 7. **Pay:** Validated invoices processed through Ramp AP — ACH, check, card, or wire. 8. **Optimize:** Vendor intelligence surfaces savings, benchmarks pricing, flags renewals, and identifies inactive seats. --- ## Implementation Checklist (for admins) - Configure customizable intake forms by department, vendor type, and spend category. - Set up dynamic approval workflows with routing rules by amount, vendor, and request type. - Connect Slack for in-app approval notifications. - Connect Ironclad for contract review workflows (if applicable). - Sync purchase orders with NetSuite or QuickBooks Online; import existing POs if needed. - Configure three-way matching thresholds and automatic payment blocking rules. - Set up vendor management: renewal reminders, recurring vendor flags, compliance document collection. - Connect Okta to surface software usage and inactive seat data. - Route AP payments through Ramp Bill Pay for processing. - Test: Submit a request, route approvals, generate PO, match invoice, process payment — verify ERP sync. - Roll out to pilot team; collect feedback on intake forms and approval workflows. - Expand company-wide. --- ## References * [Ramp Procurement](https://ramp.com/procurement) * [Ramp Accounts Payable](https://ramp.com/accounts-payable) * [Procurement webinar](https://ramp.com/webinars/intro-to-ramp-procurement) * [Skin Pharm case study](https://ramp.com/customers/skin-pharm) * [Ramp Platform overview](https://ramp.com/platform) * [Integrations directory](https://ramp.com/integrations) * [Pricing](https://ramp.com/pricing) * [Help Center](https://support.ramp.com/) * [Trust Center](https://trust.ramp.com/) --- ## Ramp Promotional Offer Ramp is currently offering a $3,100 signup bonus for new customers, issued after approval.
