Digital instead of paper chaos: Freenow and SAP Concur link their systems.
For many companies this means: less effort, more overview. Because every ride booked via the Freenow app will in the future be automatically assigned to the correct employee and posted in the Concur system. This saves both travelers and the finance departments from having to manually submit and verify receipts.
“The integration enables faster expense reporting and less paperwork,” says David Koral, Director of Customer Success and Sales at Freenow by Lyft. It is a step toward more efficient corporate travel management.
In addition to saving time, Freenow also promises more transparency. Companies will in the future receive a central overview of all trips made by their employees. This not only makes cost control easier, but also helps ensure compliance with internal guidelines: The integration ensures that only approved payment methods can be used.
For the employees themselves, the process should become simpler and more intuitive. Searching for receipts or uploading receipts is no longer necessary; instead, billing runs automatically in the background. Freenow by Lyft for Business is aimed at companies that want to offer their employees a digital and centrally managed mobility solution. According to the company, more than 15,000 firms in nine countries and 180 European cities already use the platform.
Also benefits for the taxi operator
With the new integration with Concur Expense, Freenow adds another chapter to the promise of paperless travel expense reporting. The system can indeed bring advantages for taxi companies and drivers:
- Faster and more reliable payments
When companies handle their rides through the system, booking, payment and invoicing run completely digitally. For taxi companies this means: less effort with outstanding amounts, less waiting time for payments, and no disputes about missing receipts. - More corporate customers and higher utilization
The integration could make bookings more attractive to corporate clients. This could plausibly lead to more business rides—i.e., a steadier order volume for the drivers connected to the platform. - Less administrative burden
For taxi companies, part of the paperwork goes away: receipts no longer need to be printed or sent afterwards. This saves time and reduces potential errors in invoicing. - Reliable data and transparency
The digital capture of every ride creates traceable transaction data—useful for internal accounting, taxes, or any potential inquiries.
While the immediate benefits are evident for the company and its employees, taxi operators also indirectly benefit from more digital business, more stable cash flows, and reduced administrative overhead.
