Case Study: Browserbase eliminates $80K in shadow spend and saves 100+ hours with Ramp

Browserbase eliminates $80K in shadow spend with Ramp

Browserbase, a startup providing cloud browser infrastructure for AI agents, faced a significant challenge with its manual and ad-hoc procurement process. This lack of a formal system led to $80,000 in hidden shadow spend from duplicate licenses and auto-renewals that went unnoticed. Their Chief of Staff was burdened with time-consuming vendor security reviews that often took days, creating friction that encouraged employees to find workarounds.

Browserbase implemented Ramp as its financial operating system, centralizing cards, bill pay, and procurement. Crucially, Browserbase helped co-design Ramp's procurement agent, which automates vendor compliance checks and approval routing. The results were substantial: Ramp eliminated the previously discovered $80k in waste, automated 26 hours of procurement work per month, and saved over 100 hours company-wide each month through automated financial operations.
