All-in-one spend management, unparalleled visibility, and control

Early on, Rippling recognized the value of combining a company’s rich HR data with real-time spend data. We believe breadth and depth of employee-centered data is the backbone of robust spending controls. And it’s what sets Rippling Spend apart.

Rippling Spend incorporates employee roles, levels, departments, and locations into spend management workflows. This enables finance teams to create granular spending permissions, automated approvals, and insightful reports. The result: up to spent on administrative work and .

With Rippling Spend, you can say goodbye to: 

  • A lack of visibility into spending trends. Track and analyze employee spend in real time by specific attributes, including department, location, and manager for up-to-the-minute visibility.

  • Surprising — and wasteful — expenses. Block out-of-policy spend based on vendor, amount, or granular employee attributes like job level, department, or location.

  • Deciding which employees get corporate cards and what their limits are. Automatically issue cards with pre-set, role-based spending limits to new employees as soon as they finish onboarding. 

  • Tracking down complex approvals. Route expense approvals automatically to the right team members for sign off without anyone lifting a finger.

Run better on Rippling Spend

Rippling Spend is just one part of our overall Rippling , which has nearly every application you need to run your business, from HR to finance to IT and beyond. 

And as of today, we now offer Rippling Spend in two ways: as part of our overall Rippling suite of products, or as a standalone product.

If you decide to use Rippling Spend standalone, you can easily integrate data from your current HRIS to manage corporate cards, expenses, and vendor invoices. And if you don’t yet have an HRIS or prefer a manual backup, we can bulk import data via a CSV upload.

Rippling Spend gives you dynamic controls to intercept wasteful spend and streamline your month-end close.

And, if in the future you want to reap the full benefits of the Rippling platform, Rippling’s suite only compounds the power of your company’s infrastructure.
