Liquid Measurement Systems reduces fraud, improves UX, and drives efficiency with Ramp

The problem

LMS was locked into an archaic corporate spend program with a legacy banking partner that lacked mobile receipt tools, had poor customer service with slow response times for card issues, and allowed frequent fraudulent charges on the business development team's cards.

First attempt

The legacy provider lacked mobile functionality for receipt uploads, had unresponsive customer service for card statement issues, and failed to prevent frequent fraudulent charges.

“I could also ask for instant feedback from Ramp's AI chatbot. That was phenomenal”

“our accountant has minimal work to do at the end of the month”
5
Virtual card fraud protection
validation
“The majority of users have both a virtual and physical card. That's a great thing for security protection -- if the physical card gets compromised, they still have access to the virtual card”
Reported outcome

After switching to Ramp, one team member saved 4-5 hours per month previously spent chasing receipts, employees now self-manage expenses entirely via phone, the accountant has minimal end-of-month work, and the team has freed capacity to refocus on strategic projects.
