What it does
Finance ops needs to see vendor concentration changes the moment they happen — not at the end of the quarter when a single vendor has already blown out the SaaS line. This recipe merges Ramp card spend with QuickBooks invoice payments, computes per-vendor week-over-week movement, and flags overlapping SaaS tools in the same capability so finance can consolidate before the next renewal.
How it works
- Pull card spend. Ramp transactions for the last 30 and prior 30 days, with merchant + spender context.
- Pull invoice spend. QuickBooks invoice payments in the same window, normalized to the same vendor names.
- Analyze. Merge sources, compute per-vendor totals + w/w deltas, flag any vendor with >30% movement, and detect overlapping tools in the same capability (e.g., two analytics SaaS subscriptions).
Setup
- Connect a spend tool (Ramp or Brex).
- Connect an accounting tool (QuickBooks, Xero, or NetSuite).
- Connect a spreadsheet for the audit trail (Google Sheets, Excel, or Airtable).
Variations
- Add a Slack alert when any vendor crosses a “monthly cap” you define.
- Layer in cost-center attribution to show which team owns each spike.
- Export a consolidation memo when 3+ overlaps are detected in the same capability.
