SAP Concur and Business Travel Direct: An Award-Winning Partnership

SAP Concur Team |

“Winning Best TMC at the Business Travel Awards 2018 was incredible, but we couldn’t have achieved it without having a clear vision. At the heart of our vision is our partnership with SAP Concur. Working with SAP Concur has allowed us to push the boundaries of managed travel and provide value and visibility that is unparalleled to anything else on the business travel market.”.

-     Julie Oliver, Managing Director, Business Travel Direct

                                                       

Business Travel Direct and SAP Concur have worked collaboratively for the past decade to achieve one clear goal: innovation through partnership. As an industry-leading TMC with integrity and expertise at the core of our business model, we seek to directly address the changing landscape of corporate travel and pro-actively take a more holistic approach to the way in which travel is bought, sold and packaged.

 

Working together, we became the first UK and European TMC to adopt the full SAP Concur eco-system, offering clients increased visibility into blind spend, efficient and automatic risk management, and greater cost savings. As a SAP Concur Preferred Partner and a Concur Travel Certified TMC, we have also invested heavily in staff training to ensure that joint customers receive the best support and user experience in the corporate travel market.

 

Peter Reglar, CEO, says “the cornerstones of our business ethos are aligned with everything that SAP Concur stands for; making business better and more efficient from start to finish. From an initial itinerary enquiry to QC, post-ticketing and risk management, we’ve future-proofed ourselves and ensured we are relevant to the corporate travel marketplace today. This highly specialised partnership is a vital ingredient for our continued success”.

 

Last month, we won ‘Best Travel Management Company’ in their category at the prestigious Business Travel Awards, recognised for ‘non-stop business innovation’ and key service differentiators. This accolade is an incredible achievement for both SAP Concur and Business Travel Direct; proof that innovation and partnership can go a long way.
