Concurforce Now Available for Salesforce CRM Customers on the AppExchange, the Leading Marketplace for Business App
The next generation of fully integrated travel and expense management solutions now available within Salesforce
NEW YORK, Nov. 30, 2011 /PRNewswire/ --Cloudforce New York, Concur (Nasdaq: CNQR) today announced the release of Concurforce - a new travel and expense management solution built on Force.com, salesforce.com's social enterprise platform for employee facing apps. With Concurforce, customers now have a travel and expense management tool within Salesforce that's specifically tuned to the needs of field sales and client service employees - typically the heaviest business travelers and most frequent expense report filers. Concurforce is immediately available for test drive and deployment on the AppExchange at http://www.salesforce.com/appexchange/.
With Concurforce, users can quickly create accurate, in-policy expense reports right from a smartphone or from the web. Credit card spend is automatically reconciled with expense line items, and business trip details from TripIt Pro are automatically shared in Salesforce Chatter. Real-time dashboards help users quickly and easily understand the costs associated with sales opportunities and service engagements, giving them better visibility to the cost of sales.
Concur also announced the release of the new Concur Salesforce® Connector, designed for existing Concur and Salesforce customers interested in simplifying expense entry and gaining visibility into customer acquisition costs. Leveraging Concur Connect - the integration and interoperability platform that provides unique additional value for Concur clients - this new connector enables clients to quickly and easily integrate the two solutions. Contact records from Salesforce can be added to an expense report in real time, reducing the need to enter data manually. Clients can also leverage the Connector to enable employees to track expenses by sales opportunity for accurate cost-of-sales reporting. Colleagues can also share travel plans via Chatter for better collaboration within their social enterprise.
"Managing travel and expenses is the last thing road warriors feel like doing. Concurforce and the Concur Salesforce Connector provide full integration with Salesforce CRM so users can manage T&E the same way they manage their sales opportunities - anytime, anywhere," said Michael Hilton, EVP worldwide marketing at Concur.
