Employees of smaller companies are business travelers too. Concur's latest strategy to go after unmanaged travelers shows how much potential exists for that segment.
The Skift Corporate Travel Innovation Report is our weekly newsletter focused on the future of corporate travel, the big fault lines of disruption for travel managers and buyers, the innovations emerging from the sector, and the changing business traveler habits that are upending how corporate travel is packaged, bought, and sold.
We finally know what Concur is planning for Hipmunk, the travel search company that it acquired last year.
On Thursday, the company announced that it was launching Concur Hipmunk to provide solutions for small businesses without managed travel programs. That's the fastest-growing segment for Concur, chief product officer Tim MacDonald told Skift.
Users of the new service will be able to get discounts from Concur partners, have their bookings tracked through Concur, and automatically send travel information to expense and itinerary management tools.
