Exploring RAMP Alternatives for Sage Intacct
Hello everyone,
I could use your assistance! As an Executive Assistant, I don’t have much background in Accounting, but I’ve found myself gradually leaning more into that area. I know I might not have a complete grasp of the subject, but I’m hoping someone can guide me in the right direction.
I’ve been assigned the task of researching alternatives to RAMP as we implement Sage Intacct for our nonprofit organization.
To be candid, we’re not very satisfied with RAMP and are eager to explore other options. However, Sage has been quite insistent on promoting RAMP, which hasn’t made our search for alternatives any easier.
Our primary concerns are around check requests, payment requests, and reimbursements for mileage and expenses. We have a large number of staff who submit check requests, but we prefer not to create paid user accounts for all of them, and we’d ideally like to avoid switching all our credit cards.
I’ve heard of Coupa and Divi, but I haven’t found any comprehensive reviews and I’m unsure if they would fit our needs. We’re also open to exploring API solutions, but I’m at a loss on where to start looking for those.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Even keywords for Google searches would be helpful, as I’m feeling a bit lost in this process. Thank you! 😅

Bill.com: This is excellent for managing invoices and payments. It allows for easy check requests and integrates with several Accounting platforms, making it a suitable alternative to RAMP.
Zoho Expense: Zoho offers cost-effective solutions for expense reporting and reimbursement processes. It allows for multiple user roles, so not all staff need to have paid accounts.
API Integrations: If you’re considering APIs, look into integrations specifically designed for Sage Intacct. There may be middleware solutions or connectors that facilitate smooth data transfer between different applications, such as using Zapier, Workato, or MuleSoft.
