SAP Concurone of the leading suppliers of travel and expense management solutions, is strengthening its offering with two new agreements. One of these, with International SOS, covers business travel security, while the other, with American Express GBT (GBT), strengthens the hotel offer.
In this context, business travel agency will make the Concur Travel booking tool available to all its customers. the entire GBT hosting programme. This is achieved by connecting Concur Travel to GBT's Supply MarketPlace platform, which centralises all hotel content available worldwide, from GDS and non-GDS aggregators. The offer includes rates from the GBT Preferred Extras programme, as well as Booking.com, Expedia and others.
This integration with Concur Travel's online booking will enable users to benefit from the same range of enhanced hotel content currently available on GBT's offline, mobile and other online channels. " As we add new hotel offers, new rates, new services, new photos and descriptions from several sources, this collaboration will enable us to offer the best possible offer for customers using Concur Travel "explained Evan Konwiser, EVP Product and Strategy at GBT.
At the same time, Concur is strengthening the "duty of care" aspect of its offering in partnership with one of the leading players in travel safety and security, International SOS. " In a world that has been profoundly transformed in less than 12 months, the notion of duty to protect employees in 2020 from "necessary" to "priority". "said Guillaume Ridolfi, Director of Business Development for SAP Concur.
Through this partnership, all travel booking and International SOS data will be centralised using SAP Concur's Route API. This means that customers can access all their booking and location data in real time. This makes it easier to identify an employee in a high-risk situation or has been affected by an event. " SAP Concur solutions complement our 19 years of experience in real-time employee location thanks to the auto-check-in function." commented Didier Remy, Director of Partnerships for Southern Europe at International SOS.
