Ramp + Trimble : Modern spend management meets construction's most trusted ERPs
In construction, every dollar has a job. A phase. A cost type. And in an industry where margins run 3–7%, the difference between a profitable project and a losing one often comes down to whether your team can track and control spend in real time.
For the thousands of contractors running on Vista or Spectrum, that tracking has historically meant manual exports, re-keying transactions, and reconciling spreadsheets at month-end. The ERP holds the structure. But getting spend data into it has been the bottleneck.
Today, that bottleneck is gone. Ramp now integrates directly with Trimble Vista and Spectrum.
What the integration does
Once connected, your Ramp spend flows directly into Vista or Spectrum:
- Transactions sync automatically: Every approved card transaction flows into your ERP without manual entry
- Your chart of accounts stays aligned: GL accounts, vendors, jobs, phases, cost types, equipment, and employees map between both systems
- Job costing stays accurate: Spend lands on the right job, phase, and cost type from the start. No re-keying. No CSV exports.
The integration is built and maintained by ClearPlan Construction, a team that specializes in construction technology and works side-by-side with your team to configure and launch.
More than an integration
A direct ERP sync solves the data entry problem. But construction finance teams are dealing with more than that: lost receipts from the field, expenses tagged to the wrong job, cost overruns that don't surface until month-end, and AP processes that still run on email and spreadsheets.
With this integration, Vista and Spectrum customers now get access to the full Ramp platform:
- Corporate cards with proactive controls. Set spend limits by job, restrict vendor categories, and block unauthorized purchases before they happen.
- Field-friendly expense capture. Project managers can submit receipts and code transactions from the job site via mobile or SMS. No training manual required.
- AI-powered coding. Ramp auto-codes transactions to the right job, phase, and cost type, so your team spends less time reclassifying at month-end.
- Real-time visibility. See how individual jobs are tracking against budget without waiting for the books to close.
The result: faster close, fewer errors, and more time for the work that actually moves jobs forward.

“I assumed I would have to choose between speed and control. What I found is that you can have both. A well-designed system takes friction out, for the finance function and for everyone else.”

CFO, Denver Broncos
“A well-run district should not have to choose between getting work done at the school site and keeping control of the dollars behind it. We're not hiring more people to do more jobs, so we have to be smarter about the process. With Ramp, the purchase, the receipt, and the record stay together from the start. ”

“AI is moving faster than the finance context around it. Prices change, models change, and the value is not always obvious from an invoice. We needed enough detail to know which bets deserved more investment — and which ones did not.”
Greg Cooley
Controller, AngelList
“Invoices, cards, tokens. The categories change but the principle doesn't: know where the money is going, remove the work around it, and make sure the spend is worth it.”

“We weren’t trying to retrofit an old finance system. We had a blank canvas, and Ramp gave us the foundation to build a global finance function of the future.”

“There's just no surprises anymore. No more waiting two months to find out how a job did. We know how it's doing as it's happening.”

“More token spend isn’t proof that AI is working. Less isn’t proof that it isn’t. What matters is whether we’re buying the right level of intelligence for the work. Ramp lets us make that judgment in the same place we manage every other type of spend.”

Senior Director of Business Systems, Daxko
“Most banks treat the back office as a cost to keep down. We treat ours as a return to compound, which is why we run it on Ramp. Now we put our clients on Ramp, too.”
