Unlock more T&E benefits through SAP Concur’s App Centre partners for transportation

Companies constantly seek ways to reduce costs, improve compliance and enhance employee experience, and one of the ways to achieve this is to invest in technology, namely, a leading travel and expense management solution that helps to automate the process. It is understandable that organisations that have invested time, resources and funding into technology will want to see high and increasing ROI over time.

SAP Concur’s customers have the advantage of capitalising on over 330 partner integrations – the most offered by a travel and expense management software provider.

These partnerships allow SAP Concur customers to swiftly and synergistically extend the business benefits they are already enjoying on the SAP Concur platform at any time to expand on their customer value journey. SAP Concur’s solutions are seamlessly connected to 12 extensive categories of App Center partners, including Airlines & Hotels, Cars & Trains, Food, and Duty of Care, and research shows that customers working with an App Centre partner are 12% more satisfied than customers who don’t.

All SAP Concur customers can take advantage of these ground transportation partnerships for their travelling employees.

For a start, one area where many Asia Pacific customers can benefit from is on-ground business transportation. SAP Concur partners with Gojek in Singapore and Indonesia, Grab in Southeast Asia, and Uber in Australia & New Zealand, Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan and India.

SAP Concur integrates seamlessly with these three major ride providers to streamline organisations’ on-ground travel end to end – automatically reviewing every trip expense to make sure they adhere to company-set policies; giving finance teams real-time visibility of their employee trips and spending; and linking and automating employees’ ride bookings with their expense reporting and reimbursement.

These capabilities help organisations increase spend visibility and control, strengthen compliance, improve employee experience and cut cost.

Thanks to a promotion that was recently launched by Grab and Gojek, SAP Concur customers can now redeem vouchers to offset their ride charges on a limited time, first-come-first served basis in SEA. Uber also devised targeted actions to help customers connect the Concur and Uber for Business apps in markets where they have a presence to maximise user convenience. 

With so much upside to be enjoyed, it’s an opportune time for finance and travel & expense management leaders to encourage their employees using Concur Expense to link their Concur app with their preferred App Centre on-ground transportation partner(s). The ride partner incentivises this by helping them to offset their charges (if promotion is applied), and in the longer term, allows employees to submit their transport claim easily.
