Ramp named a Leader in 2025 IDC MarketScape for AI-enabled travel and expense applications for Small Business and Midmarket
Ramp has been named a Leader in two IDC 2025 MarketScape reports: IDC MarketScape: Worldwide AI-Enabled Travel and Expense Applications for Midmarket 2025 Vendor Assessment (doc #US53006525, August 2025) and IDC MarketScape: Worldwide AI-Enabled Travel and Expense Applications for Small Business 2025 Vendor Assessment (doc #US53006625, August 2025).
We believe this recognition validates what our more than 40,000 customers already know: Ramp is redefining T&E for growing businesses. We’ve built a unified system that combines intelligent card controls, modern expense software, and AI-powered automation, giving growing businesses the sophisticated capabilities they need without the complexity they don’t.
The IDC MarketScape for AI-Enabled Travel and Expense Applications for Small Business recognized Ramp for the following strengths:
- Card-centric spend control: The tight integration between Ramp's corporate cards and the expense management software enables proactive control over spending at the point of transaction, with customizable rules and limits. This helps prevent out-of-policy spending before it occurs.
- AI-powered insights: Ramp leverages artificial intelligence to analyze spending patterns and provide actionable recommendations for cost optimization and vendor management. This proactive approach can bring significant savings for businesses.
- Streamlined user experience: The platform is designed with a modern and intuitive interface, making it easy for employees to manage their spending and for finance teams to gain clear visibility and control. This can drive user adoption and efficiency.
The Ramp difference
Ramp automates the entire expense workflow, from purchase to reconciliation, for companies of all sizes across industries. Our platform automatically collects and matches receipts via vendor integrations, text message, and the mobile app. Our AI agents build on these capabilities by handling routine approvals, answering policy questions, and flagging duplicate spend. Where legacy expense tools reactively catch errors, Ramp helps companies avoid them in the first place.
Ramp offers all of this with no steep implementation costs or months-long rollouts. Just intelligent spend management that scales with the business.

“Ramp had everything we were looking for, and even things we weren't looking for. The policy aspects, that's something I never even dreamed of that a purchasing card program could handle.”

CEO, Piñata
“With Ramp, everything lives in one place. You can click into a vendor and see every transaction, invoice, and contract. That didn’t exist in Zip. It’s made approvals much faster because decision-makers aren’t chasing down information—they have it all at their fingertips.”
Ryan Williams
Manager, Contract and Vendor Management, Advisor360°
“The ability to create flexible parameters, such as allowing bookings up to 25% above market rate, has been really good for us. Plus, having all the information within the same platform is really valuable.”
Caroline Hill
Assistant Controller, Sana Benefits
“More vendors are allowing for discounts now, because they’re seeing the quick payment. That started with Ramp—getting everyone paid on time. We’ll get a 1-2% discount for paying early. That doesn’t sound like a lot, but when you’re dealing with hundreds of millions of dollars, it does add up.”
James Hardy
CFO, SAM Construction Group
“We’ve simplified our workflows while improving accuracy, and we are faster in closing with the help of automation. We could not have achieved this without the solutions Ramp brought to the table.”
Kaustubh Khandelwal
VP of Finance, Poshmark
“I was shocked at how easy it was to set up Ramp and get our end users to adopt it. Our prior procurement platform took six months to implement, and it was a lot of labor. Ramp was so easy it was almost scary.”
