"There are alternatives and more mature and bigger companies that provide connectors to NetSuite but we preferred to work with Rutter because of how they normalize the data model across platforms. If we were going to leverage a partner for the different accounting platforms, we wanted to make sure to dramatically reduce our integration cost and not have to deal with the heterogeneous requirements of different accounting APIs."
"I have to spend several hours every close period reclassifying accounting transactions pushed from [expense management vendor] because they do not write data correctly."
"We’ve worked with many providers that weren’t reliable, which is a huge issue. Rutter is the only provider we’ve worked with that’s given us a 99.999% uptime so far. They’re more reliable than the Facebook API."
"We decided not to buy [leading Expense Management Vendor] because they do not support subsidiaries in NetSuite."
"Investing in Rutter wasn't just about saving time. It was about avoiding missed opportunities. If we had tried to build it ourselves, we wouldn't have prioritized it as it wouldn't have been critical enough to our core product to justify the time investment."
"A business could potentially get a lower limit on Ramp than they could have otherwise qualified for because we didn’t have a full picture of their financial health. If a competitor were to give them a higher credit limit, they would then be more likely to choose to consolidate all their spend with that competitor since they couldn’t fulfill their business’s spending needs with the Ramp card. It’s crucial for us to create the best customer experience possible and give more optimal credit limits by using additional data sources like Rutter."
"Building an integration in itself is a straightforward task. What comes afterward — the API updates, the partner meetings, the workflow mapping — was what kept us up at night for a long time. Thankfully, we found Rutter."
"Nilus offers cash flow analysis and forecasting, so we need a lot of clean, stable data. For me, it's the number one priority, and that’s why we chose Rutter."
"The biggest pain point was speed — without a doubt. And many of Rutter’s competitors, whom we evaluated from the get-go, were a lot slower to attend to our needs across the board."
"Rutter’s Universal API has saved us thousands of engineering hours, and we were able to accomplish a years worth of work in a few weeks."
“Rather than building each integration from scratch, we sought a partner to open us up to all these new sales channels really quickly."
“I didn’t want to slow down our growth to build the solution when we could just buy it from Rutter. While we could have eventually built the capability in-house, buying makes far more sense for many startups’ unit economics.”
“As a startup, you have limited engineering resources, so you have to ruthlessly prioritize. Anywhere we could buy instead of build was a win. Rutter is the prime example of that.”
"Rutter’s cost is cheaper than any headcount we need to build and maintain these integrations. Plus, their documentation is impressive, the APIs are very elegant, and they met our security, latency, and performance needs."
“Just getting the NetSuite sandbox set up would have been cost-prohibitive. Plus, it would've taken at least a month in engineering to build the integration. We definitely saved time there thanks to Rutter.”
