Kunal Singh<\/a>, Business Systems Engineering Lead at Ramp<\/a>, has always found great joy in keeping simple things simple. It is a mantra that has carried him through life, from India to the Bay Area, in the office and at home as a father of two. His knack for identifying problems by analyzing root causes is one that has been nurtured over the course of his career. And it was this talent that helped Kunal save Ramp\u2019s developers hundreds of hours a year in debugging and error-handling while simultaneously revolutionizing their go-to-market process.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Native Integrations Weren\u2019t Cutting It<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It was in early 2022 when Kunal became aware of a multitude of issues across Ramp\u2019s enterprise, blocking their ability to scale. The marketing team was completely underwater creating new campaigns completely manually, and had no formal process around their event segmentation The sales team faced a Hubspot\/Salesforce native dependency, where data was unable to be synced across Salesforce, Hubspot, and the product in real time, causing 30+ minute delays and hundreds of hours of manual work a year. The operations team were being bombarded with more than 50 weekly L1 support tickets. Finally, the data team was encountering difficulties in the debugging and monitoring of data. The effects of these issues were compounding on one another, hampering Ramp\u2019s growth and interfering in its mission to help customers control their spend, automate accounting, and manage vendors. The situation was complex\u2014 and Kunal wouldn\u2019t accept it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solve Through Simplification<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

By this point, Kunal was deeply frustrated with Ramp\u2019s inefficient and chaotic state of operations. With that, he and his team got to work. Kunal quickly realized the impracticality of Ramp\u2019s fragmented point-to-point process for their data integration needs, and began searching for a platform with an API-led approach with the end goal of establishing a scalable, loggable framework that he could launch company-wide. Kunal conducted thorough research into multiple platforms but was drawn to only one in the end: Workato. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He was impressed with Workato\u2019s low-code API platform<\/a>, with features such as different authentication schemes, out-of-the box load balancing, and concurrency\u2014 improving security, uptime, and performance in the process. With promises of shorter integration build times, complete auditability, and the hundreds of available connectors, it was a straightforward decision for Kunal. Through his direction, Ramp stopped relying on Hubspot workflows and synced directly with real-time Product events, while centralizing endpoints. Additionally, he set up data monitoring and alerting in Metaplane, SFDC, Datadog, and Workato. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
