## 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

* 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

## 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.
