Grab for Business announces integration with Concur Expense to modernize business travel management across Southeast Asia

SINGAPORE – Business mobility and expense management are being connected through a new integration between Grab For Business and Concur Expense, a leading expense management solution from SAP Concur. This collaboration aims to modernize corporate travel and expense management across Southeast Asia. Through the integration, eligible Grab For Business transactions such as business rides, meals, and deliveries are seamlessly captured in Concur Expense, eliminating manual expense entry and improving policy compliance.

With this partnership, finance teams and employees can enjoy a more streamlined and automated experience for managing travel spending. Valerie Khoo, regional head of Grab For Business, emphasized the importance of modernizing business travel management, stating that organizations often struggle with disconnected systems that create administrative burdens and limit visibility into spending.

According to a recent study by Grab For Business in partnership with GBTA, while 95% of business travelers in Southeast Asia use ride-hailing services, only 58% of organizations have formal mechanisms to manage their usage. Moreover, 57% of travelers consider the expense reporting process burdensome, spending over 20 minutes on average to complete reports.

This integration seeks to alleviate this administrative burden by automatically syncing receipts to Concur Expense, reducing the time spent on expense claims and providing organizations with greater control over business travel expenses. The Grab For Business and Concur Expense integration is now available to all Grab For Business customers across Southeast Asia through the Grab For Business web portal and SAP Concur App Center.
