Key Points
- Waymo’s first expense integration sends ride receipts to Ramp automatically and matches them to the card charge, removing manual receipt filing for employees and pre-filling entries for finance teams.
- Waymo said spend on Ramp cards grew 173% year over year through Q3, but did not share dollar figures, ride counts, or customer names behind that growth.
- Uber for Business already integrates with more than a dozen expense and spend-management providers, including SAP Concur and Navan, leaving Waymo behind on back-office distribution.
Summary
Waymo has connected Waymo for Business to Ramp, the corporate card and spend management platform, in what the company said is its first expense integration. When an employee pays for a Waymo ride with a Ramp card, the receipt is sent to Ramp and matched to the card charge using rider, trip, and amount details, so expense entries arrive pre-filled for finance teams. Waymo said its spend on Ramp cards grew 173% year over year through the third quarter, though it did not disclose dollar figures, ride counts, or how many Ramp customers ride with Waymo. Ramp is used by more than 70,000 businesses, according to Waymo. The service now reaches six major airports — San Francisco, San Jose, Phoenix, Nashville, Las Vegas, and San Antonio — and Waymo lists airport runs, meetings, conferences, and work dinners as its main business use cases. The gap is distribution across expense tools: Uber for Business already connects with more than a dozen expense and spend-management providers, including Ramp, SAP Concur, Navan, and Brex.
