As a result of this integration, an expense report is automatically initiated, which helps employees cut data entry time, increase reporting accuracy and visibility, and helps control and identify fraud.

“This collaboration between Concur and Orbitz for Business is a natural fit – both are industry-leading technology companies that are focused on developing intuitive products that our respective customers choose to use,” said Mark Walton, vice president of strategy and account management at Orbitz for Business.

With the matching process delivered with Smart Expenses, receipt data is accurate and in-policy. The end result is that the expense report is nearly complete – automatically – by the time a traveler returns from a trip.
