SAP Concur team |

Manual expense processes don’t just waste time, they hide blind spots in your budget. Concur Expense flips that hassle into a streamlined, mobile-first workflow designed for lean finance teams. 

If end-of-month still means hunting for taxi dockets and key-ing mileage sheets into spreadsheets, you’re leaking time and money. An SAP-commissioned study found that 74 % of businesses say automating travel & expense cuts admin time so teams can focus on growth . 

That’s exactly what Concur Expense was built for: effortless capture, policy-proof compliance, and finance-grade visibility—without the IT heavy-lift. 

  1. Know Your Cash Flow (in Real Time): Connecting card feeds and supplier data means fewer manual keystrokes and a clear view of every open (even unapproved) claim. Smarter data lets you plan with confidence instead of guesswork.
  2. Minimise Risk—Without Extra Headcount: Automated imports from travel suppliers and corporate cards wipe out “fat-finger” errors and surface policy breaches the moment they happen. When rules change, update them once and the system flags overspend instantly.
  3. Streamline Workflows & Win Back Hours: Snap a receipt, tap submit, done. Employees spend less time on admin; finance gets an accurate, timely picture of spend. The result? Up to $54K annual savings, a 47% drop in missing receipts, and 148 hours per week back for AP teams.
  4. ShapeEnable Scalability & Growth: Expanding into new regions? Adding currencies? Concur Expense scales with you—complete with app-store partners, seamless ERP integrations, and optional Concur Travel pre-populating every business-trip claim.

Stat to remember: 74 % of businesses worldwide say automated T&E cuts admin time so they can focus on strategic planning.
