Concur and Uber for Business Launch Exclusive Partnership

DENVER, July 18, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Concur, the world's leading provider of integrated travel and expense management solutions, today announced an expansion of its partnership and technology integration with Uber that will be first of its kind. As part of this expanded partnership and integration, Concur customers will be able to realize significant cost savings on their ground transportation and gain visibility into their Uber usage, while at the same time increasing traveler productivity and satisfaction. Concur customers will exclusively have access to the Uber for Business features for free, along with automated employee onboarding, policy controls, savings performance, and trip summary dashboards only available through the powerful combination of the two travel industry innovators.

Together, Concur and Uber will be able to help companies reduce their ground transportation spend by enabling them to more easily use affordable ridesharing options like uberX.  Through this exclusive partnership, Concur customers will have access to Uber for Business features for free, and once connected, all business trips taken with Uber will sent to Concur enabling savings insights, policy controls, as well as automated expense report population for travelers, yielding greater traveler productivity and satisfaction.

"Our average enterprise customer expenses almost $1 million in ground transportation annually and about 7 percent of that is with Uber today. By shifting more spend to Uber, these companies stand to save hundreds of thousands of dollars," said Elena Donio, president of Concur. "We've seen almost 230 percent growth in Uber transactions in the past year, and with this integration, we expect to see that growth accelerate as we help companies leverage the benefits of Uber as part of their travel program."
