Infor integrations: Why they matter
While Infor ERP systems are robust, integrations take their functionality to the next level by filling gaps and enhancing efficiency. For example, Ramp can integrate with Infor SunSystems and Infor Core Financials to enhance financial workflows and expense management processes to align with broader operational goals.
By integrating Infor with additional tools, businesses can gain greater flexibility and functionality, ensuring their ERP system adapts as they scale.
Why choose Ramp with Infor?
Infor is a powerful ERP solution on its own, but Ramp adds another layer of efficiency and optimization. Ramp enhances financial workflows by streamlining expense management, automating invoice processing, and improving visibility into operations.
Here’s how Ramp integration with both Infor SunSystems and Infor Core Financials work:
- Sync data in real time: Ramp integrates seamlessly with Infor, allowing you to configure tracking categories for vendors, locations, and more, while ensuring accurate reconciliation through its Universal CSV.
- Automate routine workflows: With Ramp, you can set up rules to automate transaction coding, approvals, and reviews, while effortlessly collecting receipts from SMS, email, web apps, and integrated platforms like Gmail and Amazon Business.
- Audit every transaction: Gain full visibility into every transaction's history, from the initial swipe to syncing with Infor, with the ability to dive into specific records in just one click.
This integration allows businesses to tackle inefficiencies head-on, delivering a combined solution that’s greater than the sum of its parts.
Case study: How Ramp integrations transform financial workflows
Although Ramp hasn’t provided a formal case study with Infor just yet, our proven success with other ERPs like NetSuite highlights its ability to revolutionize financial workflows.
Ramp and NetSuite integration: Quora’s experience
Quora’s finance team struggled with inefficiencies caused by disconnected tools and cumbersome processes. By integrating Ramp with NetSuite, they transformed their workflows and cut their bill processing time per recurring vendor.
Here’s how the results panned out:
- Cost savings: Clearbit saved over $50,000 in product savings and $6,100 in insights by using Ramp.
- Faster time to close: Clearbit shortened its month-end close by over 60%, from 10 days to just three to four.
- Automated coding: 100% of transactions are now automatically coded, ensuring greater accuracy.
“In the old world, there were multiple entry points, and sometimes bills were put into the wrong places. There were 10+ steps to go from PDF processing to Netsuite, to payment and reporting," explains Richard, Finance Manager at Quora. “With Ramp and Netsuite together we’ve reduced that to 3 simple steps. It’s more efficient and a huge time saver.”
Ramp’s two-way real-time sync with NetSuite eliminated the need for manual double-entry and reduced these complex steps. As a result, Quora not only saved significant time in their monthly accounting tasks but also gained better visibility into corporate spending, enabling proactive financial improvements.
