Flexible Implementation
Concur offers a range of implementation options depending on your organisation’s requirements.
Time-saving direct inventory access
Once travel is completed, participating travel suppliers deliver complete electronic folio data in the form of electronic receipts (e-receipts) directly into the corporate traveller’s expense claim.
Save your money and cut nasty travel booking fees
With user-friendly tools, Concur increases adoption and reduces reliance on travel agents which can cut travel booking fees by as much as 79 percent per transaction.* That amount of savings could go straight to the bottom line.
Increase your visibility with powerful analysis and reporting
Concur offers reporting tools that provide clear insight into how your company and employees spend their travel and expense budgets. On-demand tools make it quick and easy to track preferred supplier use, present business travel data and analyse overall spending for forecasts and driving down costs.
Use a Preferred Supplier
Concur can be configured to use all your preferred suppliers. If you do not have a preferred supplier, data produced by Concur gives you the information you need to negotiate with suppliers. (This information can also be used to ensure that you are receiving the rates that you negotiated.)
Want an expense software solution too?
Travel booking together with Concur’s automated expense reporting tool gives you one complete end-to-end travel and expense solution.
