Managing Expenses While You're On The Road Is Much Easier Than You Think

It's not easy to keep expenses organized while you're on the road. You cram receipts into your wallet, hoping you won't lose them. A corporate card doesn't always help, as there are still places that take only cash.

When you're back in town, you sit down with all those little pieces of paper and type your expenses into a complicated spreadsheet. But there's a better way to manage expenses on the go: the Concur mobile app, which revolutionizes how you'll approach expenses in the future.

The app makes an often painful process simple. Using the camera on their smartphone or tablet, employees can take pictures of their receipts, automatically entering them into the system. This eliminates chaotic filing systems and lost receipts. Also, users can easily change itineraries on the app, check flight status, and add new hotels and flights.

If you're a manager, the Concur app allows you to approve expenses right away, even if you're on the road yourself. This means you can monitor expenses more closely, preventing policy violations along the way.
