Concur, an SAP company, has closed a new partnership with Didi Chuxing, the world’s largest mobile transportation platform, to further simplify the expense management process in China.
Last week, Didi Chuxing bought the Chinese business from fierce competitor Uber for US$7 billion. The new business is now valued at approximately US$35 billion.
The integration with Concur allows Didi Chuxing users to connect their account with Concur, select their trip type and begin booking rides. Once they arrive at their destination, an e-receipt will be automatically sent to the linked Concur account, where they can directly manage ride expenses and submit for reimbursements.
“China is the third largest international market when it comes to Concur business traveler spend, and we’re seeing a dramatic increase in Didi Chuxing usage which is contributing to that spend,” said Mike Eberhard , president of global distribution at Concur. “This integration not only simplifies the expense reporting process for the growing number of Concur users booking rides with Didi, but also helps travel managers and administrators effortlessly keep track of employee spend.”
“Didi Chuxing Enterprise has a systematic and data-driven ride hailing and management service in China , while Concur is the leader in enterprise travel and expenses management. This partnership will increase the international recognition of Didi Chuxing’s convenient and efficient transportation solutions and enhance Concur users’ travel experience,” said Derek Du, vice president and general manager of enterprise business unit at Didi Chuxing.
Didi Chuxing is available from the Concur App Center.
Concur recently signed an exclusive partnership with Uber to make it easier for business travellers to claim expenses when using Uber.
