Advito, a global travel consultancy, has recently unveiled two new integrations with SAP Concur’s travel and expense management solutions. The SAP Concur integration is designed to help Advito’s customers fully optimize their travel programs while also reducing their carbon footprint.
SAP Concur is a leading provider of travel, expense, and invoice management solutions. The company’s cloud-based platform offers a range of tools to help businesses streamline their travel and expense processes, gain visibility into their spending, and make informed decisions. One of the key strengths of SAP Concur is its ability to integrate with other solutions seamlessly.
By having a vast network of partners that offer complementary solutions, the company’s open API enables partners to build integrations that connect with SAP Concur’s platform. These integrations allow customers to extend the capabilities of SAP Concur and gain more value from their investment.
One example of SAP Concur’s integration capabilities is its partnership with TripIt. TripIt is a travel itinerary management app that allows users to organize their travel plans in one place. With the SAP Concur integration, users can automatically import their travel plans from TripIt into SAP Concur, streamlining the expense reporting process. This integration eliminates the need for manual data entry, reducing the likelihood of errors and saving time.
Another example of this is the recent integration of Total Trip Insights and GATE4 Insights applications into the SAP Concur App Center. This allows customers to seamlessly flow robust data from SAP Concur solutions directly into Advito’s analytics suite. The integration offers customers a consolidated, holistic view of their travel program, enabling them to identify savings opportunities and forecast future trends through the Total Trip Insights application.
Advito Global Practices & Sales Principal and Vice President Olivier Benoit said that Advito is delighted to partner with SAP Concur to offer clients a seamless travel program optimization and emissions reporting solution. According to him, the integration between Advito and Concur Travel & Expense provides clients with a hassle-free approach to obtaining valuable insights into their travel program’s global emissions, supplier performance, leakage, trip purpose, overall costs, and more. He added:
“We take great pride in providing our customers with an integrated approach to travel category management, enabling them to make data-driven decisions that drive real change.”
SAP Concur Integration with Advito Solutions
As a consulting firm that operates under BCD Travel, Advito focuses on enhancing corporate travel programs. The company utilizes an intelligence-driven framework to manage supplier spending and traveler behavior dynamically, which aims to ensure smooth and efficient travel programs that cater to all stakeholders’ needs. Through the use of smart analytics, integrated traveler engagement, and unique supplier strategies, Advito strives to elevate travel programs to new levels of sustainability, savings, and satisfaction.
Total Trip Insights is an advanced data engine and a dashboard that offers a comprehensive view of a company’s travel program by integrating data from multiple sources. The platform combines Concur Expense data with agency data and other third-party sources, such as credit card providers and airlines, to give customers a complete picture of their travel expenses.
One of the biggest challenges that travel managers face is the fragmentation of travel industry data. Travel data is often spread across multiple systems and platforms, making it difficult for managers to get a complete view of their program. Total Trip Insights addresses this challenge by consolidating data from different sources and presenting it in a single dashboard.
Meanwhile, GATE4 Insights is a powerful carbon tracking tool that integrates with Concur Travel & Expense data to allow travel managers to track their carbon emissions across air, hotel, rail, and car programs. GATE4 is an ISO-certified carbon reporting methodology developed by Advito and is the first travel consultancy to develop its own ISO-certified carbon reporting methodology.
By leveraging Concur Travel & Expense data, GATE4 Insights offers a streamlined approach to carbon tracking, reducing the burden on travel managers to collect and analyze data manually. This integration provides travel managers with a real-time view of their carbon emissions, enabling them to identify opportunities for improvement, set targets, and track progress towards their sustainability goals.
