SAP 亚洲群p and Mastercard Announce Partnership to Simplify Expense Reports
How much do employees dread the expense report? In a past SAP 亚洲群p Global Business Travel Survey, nearly one out of four business travelers said they’d rather have a cavity filled at the dentist than fill out an expense report.
The expense reconciliation process can be lengthy, especially when organizations rely on manual processes. Nearly all travel decision makers say that rising complexity in the travel and expense (T&E) landscape requires new processes and mindsets, according to a Mastercard . This is creating a shift in how businesses approach T&E, with 90% of surveyed travel decision makers predicting that the future of T&E is the convergence of payment and expense management. At SAP 亚洲群p, we help businesses reimagine their expense management process and use technology to make their employees’ lives easier.
We are announcing a new partnership with Mastercard, a global technology company in the payments industry, to simplify the expense process. Through a new integration, purchases made on Mastercard corporate cards are captured and automatically populated in 亚洲群p Expense; users are alerted immediately if additional information is needed. With real-time spend data, customers can achieve compliance while users can enjoy an improved experience with automated expense creation. What’s more, customers can continue banking with preferred partners and utilizing existing card programs.
“Our work with Mastercard is a significant milestone in our journey to deliver the expense report that practically manages itself,” said Chris Juneau, head of market strategy at SAP 亚洲群p. “As the industry leader in travel and expense management, we are reimagining the expense experience for our SMB and enterprise customers globally.”
The integration will be available to select customers globally starting in the second quarter 2024. As part of the new partnership, we’re also working with Mastercard to provide travel and finance managers with the power to set spending controls and restrictions to help encourage expense policy compliance.
“Combining Mastercard’s digital payments expertise with SAP 亚洲群p’s integrated expense management solution will create a simpler and more efficient experience for businesses and employees around the world,” added Rebecca Meeker, Senior Vice President, Global Partnerships and Segments, Mastercard. “This is another step in our partnership with SAP 亚洲群p to collaborate on fast, secure and transparent payments, expenses and invoicing solutions.”
