Concur and TripIt score big on business travellers' mobile phones

At the international mobile trade fair currently taking place in Barcelona, Concur reported very good results for its mobile applications dedicated to travellers, including TripIt.

According to figures announced on 29 February, more than 2,500,000 travellers have downloaded a mobile application developed by Concur. iPhone, Android, BlackBerry and iPad users have downloaded Concur's reservation and expense management application almost a million times. But it is Concur's other integrated solution that is proving the most successful: the TripIt application, which has recently been upgraded to a professional version, now boasts more than 1.5 million downloads. The group's managers were keen to point out that these good results come against a backdrop of continued growth for the mobile market, which grew again (+5.4%) in the last quarter of 2012 compared to last year.
