What’s new: travel updates, powerful integrations, and more

We’re all about creating a seamless, connected experience for you and your team. So this month, we’re introducing new updates that make business travel, expense management, and tool integrations even easier.

Big updates to Ramp Travel

With Delegate Booking via the Assistant role, you can book flights, hotels, and manage expenses on behalf of others with minimal hassle. Say goodbye to all the back-and-forth emails and messages—and hello to efficient, streamlined travel planning.

Location-based Per Diem policies

We get it. Your travel costs depend on where you’re traveling.

Learn how to keep your T&E costs in-check

This month, we’re releasing location-based per diem rates. With this handy update, admins can set dynamic budgets based on where employees are traveling. This guarantees employees have budgets that match the cost of their destinations—no matter where work takes them.

Google Calendar integration: smarter, automated expenses

Imagine if your financial software could sync with your calendar to simplify expense tracking in real-time. That’s exactly what our new Google Calendar Integration does.

By pulling context from your calendar, Ramp can suggest memos, auto-code transactions, and even route approvals when managers are out of office.

A redesigned home base

Our new homepage is all about helping you get through your work faster. With an even more intuitive design, employees can now see all their tasks in one place—whether it’s uploading receipts, adding details, or resolving pending issues.

This update is already leading to 30% faster expense submissions, helping everyone stay on top of tasks without breaking a sweat.

Simplified invoicing at scale

Handling invoices in bulk just got a major upgrade. With Bulk Bill Import, you can code and import line items in a spreadsheet and upload them directly to Ramp.

Our system then performs real-time error detection, ensuring accuracy and automatically creating the bills for approval with just one click. It’s a fast, reliable way to handle large batches of invoices without the repetitive manual entry.

Introducing the App Center

With Ramp’s App Center, you now have a central hub for integrating all your essential tools—from accounting software like QuickBooks to productivity platforms like Outlook. The App Center connects everything, making it easier than ever to automate your financial operations, reduce time spent on administrative tasks, and create a more streamlined, connected workplace.

These updates are all about making your work simpler, faster, and more connected.

“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.”

“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. ”

San Marcos Unified gives maintenance teams room to act — and finance a clear record of their spend across 19 schools

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

Infinity Home Services prevents the margin leak nobody can see from the ground, so its 20+ local companies build what they bid

“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

How Daxko put every AI token on the same operating system as every dollar

“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.”

“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.”
