Concur released to Travel & Expense clients new tracking and reporting for ancillary airline charges, mileage calculations using Google Maps and a dashboard that rates the effectiveness of system configurations
. Concur now is capturing and reporting on fees for baggage, upgrades, seats, airline club access and on-board expenses, the company said. After detecting a card report charge as a fee rather than a fare, the expense system can prompt travelers to identify the type of fee, building company-level data that could be used in negotiations or policymaking. The mileage calculation enhancement allows users to select start and end points in Google Maps to input trip data--and accompanies new company auditing options--while the dashboard compares client system configurations with "best practices," initially in terms of mobility or control and compliance.
