Here’s how Concur Expense flips paperwork pain into cash-flow gain.

  1. Spreadsheet‐Free Claims Slash Processing Costs by 78%: Every keystroke your AP team doesn’t make drops dollars to the bottom line. Concur Expense pulls card feeds, travel itineraries, and e-receipts straight into the claim, cutting manual effort—and processing cost—by almost four-fifths.
  2. Cloud Convenience = Zero IT Headaches: No servers, no surprise upgrades, no waiting on the help-desk. Concur Expense lives in the cloud, so finance gets the latest features automatically while IT focuses on bigger battles.
  3. Travel & Expense in One Flow Means Faster Filings: Trip data pre-populates expense lines the moment a traveller lands, turning “I’ll do it next week” into a two-click submission. Cue earlier approvals and happier accountants.
  4. Rock-Solid Data Accuracy that Auditors Love: Because the data flows straight from your card provider, airline, or rideshare app, “fat-finger” errors disappear—and you gain a crystal-clear audit trail.
  5. Real-Time Visibility Keeps Budgets Honest: Finance sees every open claim and can spot departmental overspend before it snowballs into a month-end surprise.
  6. Built-In Compliance You Can Update in One Click: GST tweaks? New per-diem caps? Change the rule once—everyone’s instantly on the same page, with soft stops that flag out-of-policy spend at the point of purchase.
  7. Consistent Enforcement = Fairness + Fraud Defence: Universal guardrails treat every employee the same and surface suspicious claims automatically—protecting both culture and cash.
  8. Scale Anywhere, Anytime: Multi-currency, regional tax quirks, even complex FBT calculations—Concur Expense handles the heavy lifting as your footprint grows across APAC (and beyond).
  9. Mobile UX Your Team Actually Enjoys: Snap the receipt, swipe to categorise, submit. Done. Employees reclaim hours, and finance stops chasing that one crumpled docket from three weeks ago.
  10. Analytics That Talk Strategy, Not Admin: Dashboards surface spend trends, supplier leverage, and policy hot spots you can action today—not six weeks after the close. Smarter data, smarter decisions.
