Thought we were going to stop at the Excel plug-in? Think again. Ramp’s reporting just got an upgrade with 10 new reports with immediate insights to help you run a more cost efficient business. 📈 Spending Real-time, accurate data is crucial for your business’s financial health. But when data is scattered across systems and manually pieced together in spreadsheets, it’s nearly impossible to get a clear picture. Ramp’s consolidated spend reports give you real-time visibility and take it a step further by proactively identifying anomalies too—so you can address issues before they escalate. 👮 Compliance  An expense policy is only as effective as its enforcement. We know finance teams run lean so catching every out-of-policy transaction is challenging—and those missed violations can quietly cost your business thousands each year. Ramp’s compliance reports help you instantly identify issues, like repeat offenders with excessive out-of-policy spend, so you can tighten cost controls and save your team hours of manual review. ⚙️ Process reports When employees procrastinate their expenses, they create bottlenecks that slow down your monthly close. Ramp’s process reports quickly identify what’s causing delays—whether it’s too many outstanding approvals or employees choosing reimbursements over cards—so you can resolve issues fast and keep reconciliation on track. Super excited to see how our customers will use Ramp’s newest reports to drive meaningful strategic changes. Give the reports a try and let me know what you think!

Spending more time building reports than analyzing the data? Skip the busywork with 10 new Ramp reports, designed to uncover what’s costing you time and money, so you can fix it fast. 📈 Spending: Kelly just dropped $7,592 on swag.

Tackle compliance issues at the source. ⚙️ Process: Sarah has 36 approvals pending, but she’s already off to Tahiti. No sweat, assign a delegate approver to eliminate bottlenecks and keep your monthly close on track. Try it out now, let us know what you think.
