Control travel before it is booked with Pre-Trip Approval

Ensure planned travel is needed and approved before ticketing, whether booked online or directly with travel agents. Travel Request seamlessly works with your travel booking and expense process. Travel Request provides the flexibility for employees to simply enter travel dates, purpose and cost of a trip; work with a travel agent; or book their desired trip directly in Concur. After the information is entered or itinerary confirmed online, the travel arrangements are saved and forwarded for approval. Once necessary approvals are complete, the booking is released for ticketing or the travel agent is notified to finalise the trip.

Since Concur provides an integrated and travel and expense solution, information flows freely between a travel request, an online booking session, and an expense claim, making employees’ lives easier and improving back office reporting. Your travel agency can also be integrated into the travel planning and approval process, and be automatically alerted once travel is approved.

Travel Request is available by itself, with Travel, or with Expense - all giving you the ability to control costs and increase policy compliance, while streamlining trip planning and expense reporting for employees and managers.
