Case Study: Brandt Information Services achieves 15–20 hours faster month-end close with Ramp

Brandt Information Services cuts month-end close by 15–20 hours with Ramp

Brandt Information Services, a provider of outdoor recreation management software, faced significant inefficiencies in its finance operations. Using tools like Concur and Expensify led to a time-consuming, end-of-month scramble to reconcile transactions, requiring extensive follow-up and hindering scalability. To avoid adding accounting headcount during a period of rapid growth, the company turned to Ramp for a solution involving its corporate cards and expense management products.

By implementing Ramp with its native Sage Intacct integration, Brandt transformed its process into a continuous reconciliation workflow. Cardholders coded expenses in real-time, which drastically reduced the month-end backlog. The results were substantial: Brandt cut 15-20 hours from its monthly close, saved over $450,000 through cashback and eliminated software fees, and scaled to over 70 cardholders without adding any accounting staff. Ramp provided the controls and automation that allowed the finance team to support the company's growth efficiently.
