Case Study: SwagUp achieves over $30K in SaaS savings with Ramp

How SwagUp partnered with Ramp to save over $30k in SaaS spend

SwagUp, an API-first promotional product distribution startup scaling rapidly with ~5,000 customers, faced rising SaaS costs, fragmented spend systems, and no standardized contract process. To address these challenges, SwagUp partnered with Ramp, adopting Ramp Buyer along with Ramp’s spend-management platform and corporate cards to bring visibility and standardization to procurement and budgeting.

Ramp’s Buyer team handled white‑glove negotiations and Ramp’s platform consolidated spend and cashback, delivering measurable savings and efficiency. Ramp negotiated a better Google Workspace deal (35% off 250 seats for three years vs. an initial 30% offer), completed three SaaS negotiations to date, and helped SwagUp save over $30,000, while providing real‑time spend visibility, easier onboarding, and cashback that reduces burn.
