As busy human beings, we often just scratch the surface of most products we use. For example, did you know you can auto-enable a work mode feature on iPhones to turn off notifications during the workday?
We often hear from delighted Ramp admins when they discover a nifty feature on the platform. In this article, we thought we’d call out some of these features so you can stop spending time on manual tasks that don’t drive your business forward.
How many of these features are you taking advantage of?
1. Enable receipt-capture integrations to eliminate the need for expense reports
Enable the Gmail and Amazon for Business integrations to help capture your team’s receipts in the background so it’s one less thing to worry about.
“Chrome browser, Gmail integration and Amazon integration make for easy receipts matching that saves our employees time.” - Kacie M
2. Integrate your HRIS provider for easier user management
Integrate your HRIS provider with Ramp to automatically update employees’ location and department changes.
3. Add expense policies to Ramp for easy reference
Add your team’s expense policy to your settings in Ramp so employees can easily access and reference it.
4. Input your travel policy to control T&E spend
Add your team’s travel policy to Ramp so your team can access it via the Ramp Chrome extension or mobile app when booking flights and lodging.
5. Set up bill pay to process your invoices in minutes
Set up Ramp Bill Pay for one-click bill creation with precise details extracted, similar line items consolidated for GL coding, and vendor bank account numbers auto-collected.
6. Designate a co-pilot
Assign a co-pilot to help manage expenses within Ramp.
7. Create alerts to stay on top of key transactions
Set alerts to keep track of transactions that meet specified criteria in addition to your out-of-flag rules. This helps to ensure the right people are still kept in the loop when transactions within a certain category, merchant or department exceed a specific amount without running into bottlenecks.
8. Check out partner rewards to reduce your vendor costs
Take advantage of partner rewards that offer over $350,000 in savings.

“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
“In senior living, scale only works if the communities still feel personal. We needed the back office to carry more of the complexity, not the people serving residents. Ramp helped us build that infrastructure, so the experience in the community could stay human.”
Ryan Cole
CFO, Agemark Senior Living
“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.”
Justin Dourado
Director of Finance, Othership
“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
