FAQ
Expense management software replaces manual receipt handling, spreadsheet tracking, and email approval chains with an automated workflow. Employees submit expenses digitally, receipts are captured and categorised, approvals are routed to the right person, and reimbursements are processed — all in one system. The software also enforces spending policies automatically, so finance teams spend less time chasing compliance and more time on analysis.
Ramp's expense management software gives UK businesses this full workflow with OCR receipt capture, policy enforcement, and direct sync to your accounting software.
Many UK businesses still rely on spreadsheets, email threads, and paper receipts to manage expenses — which leads to lost documentation, delayed reimbursements, and hours of manual re-keying at month-end. Expense management software eliminates that by automating the entire process from receipt capture through approval to reimbursement.
For UK finance teams, Ramp adds automatic VAT coding on top of the standard workflow, so transactions are captured, coded, and synced to your accounting software without manual entry.
When an employee submits an out-of-pocket expense, Ramp captures the receipt, routes it through your approval workflow, and processes the reimbursement in GBP directly to their bank account. The full process — submission, approval, coding, and payment — runs through the same platform UK teams use for card spend and bill pay, so there is no separate reimbursement tool to manage.
Ramp reads receipts using OCR, identifies the VAT amount, and maps it to the correct tax code in your accounting software — whether that is Xero, QuickBooks Online, NetSuite, Sage Intacct, or Microsoft Business Central. UK finance teams get expenses coded in real time instead of manually reconciling VAT at month-end. Ramp captures and codes VAT — it does not file or reclaim VAT on your behalf.
Ramp integrates with Xero, QuickBooks Online, NetSuite, Sage Intacct, and Microsoft Business Central. Employee expenses, card transactions, and reimbursements sync as coded entries based on your preferences, so UK finance teams are not re-entering data across separate systems.
