Concur Introduces Concur Breeze for Mobile Devices
Powerful expense reporting application now available for Android, BlackBerry and iPhone smartphones
REDMOND, Wash., June 28 -- Concur (NASDAQ:CNQR), the world's leading provider of on-demand employee spend management services, today announced that ConcurĀ® Breeze - the online expense reporting service designed specifically for small businesses - is now available as a mobile application for Android, BlackBerry and iPhone smartphones. Now, any user of Concur Breeze can easily create, submit and approve expense reports anytime, anywhere with their Android, BlackBerry or iPhone device. The mobile application is available for download from the iPhone and Android app stores at no additional charge for Concur Breeze customers. The application will be available for Over the Air (OTA) download and from the Blackberry App World in early July also at no additional charge.
Concur Breeze automatically captures transaction data from both personal and corporate credit card charges, and makes them available for import into expense reports. By automating the entire process and eliminating the need for paper receipts, spreadsheets, and lengthy reimbursement cycles, Concur Breeze reduces the time and hassles associated with expense reporting - simplifying bookkeeping and helping companies better track costs and manage cash. And now, all of this functionality is available in a free mobile app running on the most popular smartphones.
With Concur Breeze, mobile workers can manage all aspects of the expense reporting process from anywhere, using their smartphone to:
-- Import credit card transaction data to automatically create a new
expense report.
-- Edit expenses, delete expenses or enter new expenses for items such as
meals or tips.
-- Assign an appropriate classification for each expense.
-- Capture the receipt image and automatically attach it to the expense.
-- Submit an expense report for approval.
-- Review reports details, approve or reject expense reports.
