Managing company credit card spend across field operations often creates severe administrative bottlenecks. To resolve delayed spend visibility and heavy manual reconciliation, Acme Barricades, a traffic control products company, implemented Ramp corporate cards and integrated them directly into Sage 100 enterprise resource system (ERP) using AnyWare Apps. The automated setup eliminated statement-based data entry, reclaimed two days per month for finance, and increased card spend to generate $10,000 to $20,000 in annual cash back.
Manual Credit Card Reconciliation and Delayed Insights
Before adopting Ramp, Acme Barricades relied on traditional bank credit cards and monthly paper statements. Accounting staff had to manually review and code every single transaction after statement close, leaving spend visibility lagging by an entire month. Tracking departmental and divisional expenses required extensive research, turning monthly closes into a time-consuming and error-prone grind.
Direct Sage 100 Sync via AnyWare Apps
Acme Barricades transformed its expense workflows by connecting Ramp directly to Sage 100 through the AnyWare Apps Integration connector. Instead of entering month-old data, accounting codes, division markers, and receipt images are captured at the point of purchase and posted automatically to Sage 100. Field employees capture receipts and memos instantly on mobile, giving accounting real-time visibility into active company spend.
Key Operational Impact
Automating the card-to-ERP pipeline yielded massive operational efficiencies, including:
- Significant Time Savings: Reclaimed 16 to 20 hours per month, giving team members back two full workdays to focus on higher-value financial tasks.
- Real-time Visibility and Control: Transactions post continuously as they occur, providing exact division coding and immediate spend controls.
- Direct Bottom-line Return: Simplifying receipt submission boosted card adoption, allowing the company to consolidate spend and earn an additional $10,000 to $20,000 annually in Ramp cash back rewards.
