    SAP Concur Positions Real-Time Travel Spend Reporting

    SAP Concur published an article outlining its travel spend reporting capabilities, arguing that consolidating booking, expense, and approval into one platform creates a real-time, single source of truth. The article cites common pain points: data scattered across booking platforms, card statements, expense reports, and inboxes; backward-looking reporting; hard-to-verify policy compliance; underused negotiated rates; and unreliable budget forecasting. SAP Concur says its approach embeds policy rules at booking, automates data capture, and produces connected reports to help finance teams improve compliance, strengthen supplier negotiations, and improve budget management.

    3 Ways Invisible Spend can Impact Your Travel Program

    SAP Concur blog cites Phocuswright research showing invisible spend (corporate travel data not captured by traditional TMC reporting) can hurt supplier negotiations, cause compliance issues, and jeopardize traveler safety. Phocuswright surveyed 2,300 business travelers and found 88% relied on smartphones on business trips, leading to new traveler behaviors and difficulty measuring compliance. The article recommends capturing all travel data to improve policies.

    SAP Concur: How Procurement Executives Can Plan for the Return to Travel

    The SAP Concur blog outlines planning considerations for procurement and corporate travel executives as business travel resumes after the pandemic. It argues companies must balance employee health and safety, cost control, and supplier financial health, and recommends phased travel resumption, stronger cross-departmental coordination, and updated travel and expense policies. It also references the TAMS industry standards, pre-trip approval trends, and tax and compliance issues triggered by travel.

    Connecting Travel and Expense Data to Control Corporate Spend

    SAP Concur notes that employees now book directly through dozens of travel sites and suppliers, often bypassing corporate booking tools, leaving companies unaware of where staff are, where they are going, how they travel, or what they spend. It suggests checking three things: whether the travel solution connects to existing systems, to supplier data, and to third-party applications. Combining travel and expense programs gives a more accurate spend view and supports supplier negotiations, policy enforcement, and more effective duty of care.

    How CFOs Can Manage Out of Control Employee Spend

    An SAP Concur blog post notes that employee-initiated spend has shifted from company control to employee control, causing havoc on managed travel and expense programs. It cites a Phocuswright study showing only 36% of surveyed travelers use their approved corporate booking tool to book hotels, airfare, and rental cars, resulting in significant 'invisible spend.' SAP Concur processed 238 million such transactions worth nearly $109 billion last year. The article advises CFOs to improve spend visibility to save costs, enhance compliance, mitigate fraud, and improve supplier negotiation positions.
