Why average transaction value matters for Ramp users
Tracking average transaction value helps finance teams spot anomalies such as unusually large purchases, split transactions designed to bypass approval thresholds, or shifts in spending behaviour across the organisation.
Ramp users can segment this metric by department, category, and merchant to build a granular understanding of how money flows through the organisation.
