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 Midmarket 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.

“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.”
Justin Webster
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. ”
Nick Brizeno
Director of Purchasing, San Marcos Unified School District
“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.”
Maciej Mylik. Finance

“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.”
Erich Kuss
Financial Systems Manager, Infinity Home Services
“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.”
Cody Nutt
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.”
Patrick Gaughen
President & COO, Hingham Institution for Savings
“Browserbase builds infrastructure so AI agents can do real work. Ramp is doing the same for finance. It’s not another tool. It’s a system purpose-built for AI-driven finance, and that’s why we chose Ramp as our financial operating system from day one.”

Founder & CEO, Browserbase
