Ramp

## How does Ramp automate vendor data import and duplicate vendor management?

Ramp includes an Automated Vendor Import feature that imports all vendor data from connected ERP systems into Ramp without manual entry. Users can choose to import all vendors, only vendors with bills in the last year, or disable imports. Ramp links imported vendors to existing Ramp vendors to avoid duplication. To identify duplicates, Ramp uses a machine learning model analyzing vendor details such as Name, Contact information, Banking details, and Tax information. Potential duplicates are surfaced in a Duplicate Vendors table for review. After merging vendors, Ramp performs a one-time sync of updated vendor profiles to the ERP system, excluding previous transactions to prevent double-counting.
