Imagine a workday where handling bills and vouchers is not only fast and efficient, but even fun. Imagine a business trip where registering a receipt goes lightning fast, and you are so impressed that you take yourself to smile. Imagine a business trip where mileage allowance connects directly to Google Maps on your phone, and where you can book flights and hotels via the same app that automatically loads receipts from your hotel stay.
It is actually possible. The future is here in the form of a future-oriented and exciting app: SAP Concur Travel & Expense - fast and efficient handling of travel bills.
Sariba has been official for a long time SAP Concur Partner . In June, we took the step fully, by certifying several of our employees, and we are now as well SAP Concur implementation partner. We are therefore pleased to offer both new and existing customers this innovative travel solution. SAP Concur Travel & Expense is SAP's focus area within the travel process; a cloud-based solution that covers the travel process from A to Z via one and the same app, both before, during and after a trip.
Before travel
SAP Concur allows you and your employees to book all flights, car rentals and hotels directly via one app. You can set up rules so that the search results reflect your company's travel policy. For example, if you want your employees to stay below a certain price level, the rules ensure that the search only shows relevant results. If you have guidelines on which airlines and hotel chains to use, this can also be marked in the solution.
SAP Concur is linked to the vast majority of tourism players (hotel chains, travel agencies, car rental companies etc). When a trip or a hotel stay is booked via the app, the receipt will be automatically uploaded to SAP Concur. If your company has an agreement with an airline or a hotel chain that gives your employees favorable prices, it will also appear in SAP Concur.
During travel
SAP Concurs document management is both simple and intuitive, and can be used while you are traveling. A new and unique feature in SAP Concur is the way registration of receipts takes place: You easily take a picture of the receipt with your mobile camera. A scanner function interprets the information and provides correct information to the document created in the app. Here you get access to a fast and efficient handling of travel bills that start already during the trip!
Mileage is also very easy in SAP Concur. You enter your start and end addresses, and the distance appears in Google Maps. You can easily change your itinerary if you have driven a different route than is suggested as the fastest route.
Expense reimbursement is also easy in SAP Concur. If you have had dinner with a customer, you will be able to retrieve information about the customer directly from your calendar or contact list.
After travel
When the trip is completed, the expense report is submitted via the app and proceeds to the nearest manager who receives a message in his or her app that the trip should be approved. In the app, the manager easily gets an overview of what is registered. The expense report can either be approved or sent back to the employee for correction.
A system gives you the big picture
By moving the entire travel process to one place, you get new and unique reporting opportunities. As a manager, you can see which trips your employees book and which items are cost-effective. You will also be able to take out reports that show whether your employees follow your company's travel policy, and whether there are double registrations of travel vouchers.
Who should use SAP Concur
For those who haven't adopted mobile apps to automate the travel process, Concur is a great choice. Concur is also a good solution for those who want to get the whole travel process in one program.
