Freenow by Lyft to integrate with Concur Expense

No more chasing taxi receipts, no more paperwork

European taxi app featuring broad multimobility options, Freenow by Lyft, has agreed to new enterprise integration with Concur Expense that lets customers manage employee-initiated expenses in one connected system. 

This strategic integration is set to revolutionise business travel expense reporting, offering a seamless, automated experience for companies and their employees.

The partnership aims to simplify the management of travel expenses, providing significant advantages for the companies and their employees. 

With the Concur Expense integration, Freenow will automatically sync employee rosters to the Freenow Admin Panel, linking each employee’s profile to their SAP® Concur account. 

This is said to eliminate manual setup and ensures that every Freenow ride is automatically matched to the correct user and sent to Concur Expense for expense reporting, requiring no effort from the employee.

"This strategic integration is a significant step forward in Freenow’s commitment to providing efficient and user-friendly solutions for business travel,” said David Koral, Director of Customer Success and Sales at Freenow by Lyft. 

“It promises faster expense reporting, reduced paperwork, and more time for everyone, from travellers to finance teams.”

The main benefits of the integration for the company are: 

• Simplified Expense Report Management: Receipts for every business trip taken with Freenow on the corporate account are automatically and directly sent to the employee's Concur Expense profile. This eliminates the need for employees to manually create expense reports for taxi journeys.
• Complete Transparency: The company has a complete and centralised view of all trips taken by its employees through the Freenow by Lyft for Business platform. 
• Better Compliance: The integration ensures that employees exclusively use payment methods approved by the company policy, improving adherence to internal rules.
• More Satisfied Employees: The process is simple and intuitive for employees, who save valuable time by no longer having to manage paper receipts and manually file for expense reimbursement.
