## The Problem

Employee expense reports arrive with missing receipts, wrong GL codes, and policy violations — and every rejection adds days to reimbursement and resentment to the SaaS Finance team.

## What We Build in Ramp

AI validates receipts against policy, auto-codes expenses, flags out-of-policy items with a clear reason, and routes approvals — expense report cycle time drops from 9 days to same-day. Purpose-built for teams running Ramp — uses the native API or agent integration so nothing leaves the system of record.

## Ramp Integration Approach

1. **Audit your Ramp configuration.** We map the specific Ramp objects, custom fields, and workflows the automation needs to touch for your saas finance practice.
2. **Build on the Ramp API or agent.** Integration happens inside Ramp — no data leaves the system, no parallel tool for your team to learn, no license changes.
3. **Human-in-the-loop handoff.** Every automation routes exceptions back to a human in Ramp with full context — AI handles the 80%, your team owns the judgment calls.
