As the seasons change, so do the ways you can manage your finances in Ramp. Our October product updates are designed to remove friction, boost productivity, and keep your business running smoothly. From approving bills on the go to implementing advanced fraud controls, these releases touch virtually every corner of your financial operations.
Let’s dive in.
Eliminate payment errors and track spend against purchase orders
3-way matching
Our advanced 3-way match system allows you to compare purchase orders, invoices, and item receipts to ensure you’re only paying for the goods you’ve actually received. Ramp automates this process, alerting you to discrepancies so they can be resolved quickly. This reduces the risk of overpayments and ensures your accounts payable team only processes accurate invoices.
Simplify purchase order tracking with direct transaction matching
Tracking spend for purchase orders just got easier. You can now directly match card transactions to a PO—no more tedious workarounds like using memo fields to manually connect POs to transactions. Link your card spend to purchase orders without needing a bill, streamlining your procurement process and ensuring accurate financial tracking.

Approve bills anytime, anywhere, and safeguard your vendor data
Approvals on mobile
Bill approvals just got more flexible. With Ramp’s mobile app, approvers can now greenlight bills directly from their phone, whether they’re using iOS or Android. This keeps approvals moving, even when key team members are on the go. Faster approvals mean fewer bottlenecks, keeping teams productive and business flowing smoothly, no matter where you are.
Protect against unauthorized changes to vendor information
Fraud prevention just got an upgrade. With the ability to trigger approval chains for vendor edits, you now have control over any changes to vendor information—especially critical fields like ACH details. This proactive approach to managing vendor changes helps safeguard your business from unauthorized updates.
Customize approval re-triggers
Not all changes require a full re-approval process. With Ramp’s new settings, users can choose which fields (vendor, amount, payment schedule) will require re-approval, and make payment details optional when creating bills. This is especially useful for AP clerks who might not be the ones managing payments. Avoid redundant approvals and streamline your workflow, saving time for your team.
Select specific cards for vendor payments
If you’re paying a vendor with a Ramp card, you can now select exactly which card you’ll be using. This simplifies the matching process between bills and transactions, reducing confusion and making reconciliation a breeze. More precision, less guesswork. This feature enhances transparency and accuracy when paying bills.
Bulk actions for bill management
With new filtering, sorting, and bulk action capabilities for Ramp’s dashboards, managing large volumes of bills is now more efficient than ever. Mark bills as paid, remind approvers, or retry payments all from one place. Bulk actions speed up repetitive tasks, allowing you to focus on the what.

Adapt travel rules for your team’s needs and gain real-time insights
Multiple travel policies by employee type
Travel should accommodate the varied needs of your employees. Now, admins can set different travel policies for specific employee groups, whether it’s adjusting flight class for busy sales teams or making economy-plus available for those long flights. This level of customization ensures that every trip is in line with your company’s policies, no matter who’s booking it.
Enhanced admin reporting
We’ve redesigned the travel dashboard to give admins more control and insight. Now, you can view monthly spending charts, group transactions by user or trip, and track pending requests. Exporting data to CSV? That’s coming soon too! Real-time monitoring means spotting trends and addressing out-of-policy transactions immediately, rather than dealing with surprises at the end of the month.

Take charge of your team’s finances with enhanced tools for collaboration
New reporting features for managers and department owners
Managers and department owners can now take full control of their team’s finances. New reporting features provide detailed, real-time insights into spending patterns, empowering leaders to spot anomalies and optimize budgets. This feature gives managers and department leaders the tools they need to monitor spending, making it easier to prevent financial surprises before they happen.
Bookkeepers as managers
For teams looking to better reflect their organizational structure within Ramp, bookkeepers can now act as managers. This means they can invite users, issue spend, and maintain their managerial responsibilities within the approval process. Ensure smooth operations by giving team members the permissions they need.

“When our teams need something, they usually need it right away. The more time we can save doing all those tedious tasks, the more time we can dedicate to supporting our student-athletes.”

Secretary, The University of Tennessee Athletics Foundation, Inc.
“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.”
Doug Volesky
Director of Finance, City of Mount Vernon
“Switching from Brex to Ramp wasn’t just a platform swap—it was a strategic upgrade that aligned with our mission to be agile, efficient, and financially savvy.”
Lily Liu
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.”
Michael Natsch
Procurement Manager, AIRCO
