Concur: new service provides automatic business expense reporting
Concur says its new Smart Expense product virtually eliminates the concept of traditional expense reporting and allows business travelers to book their trips with a virtually automatic processing of expense reports.
“Concur is the only provider to completely unify travel booking and expense reporting into one seamless process,” the company says.
Concur says it is also the only provider that takes advantage of e-receipts – complete, live, electronic data that contains the entire record of a supplier transaction including folio data that looks exactly like the supplier’s traditional paper receipt.
“Through Smart Expense, Concur automatically gathers and reconciles all electronic data generated during the course of business travel,” the company says.
For the first time, the three main sources of expense information – itinerary data captured at the time of booking, corporate card charges incurred by the employee and e-receipts captured directly from the supplier – can all be reconciled within one seamless travel and expense management process, according to Concur.
“Concur has launched a completely new era in managing corporate travel expenses. For business travelers, Concur Travel & Expense 2.0 with Smart Expense virtually eliminates the process of filing an expense report,” said Rajeev Singh, president and chief operating officer for Concur.
The service is available to all Concur Travel & Expense clients at no additional charge, the company says.
Concur is a provider of on-demand Employee Spend Management services.
