Travel and expense management provider Concur has linked up with thetrainline.com, giving its clients and TMCs a rail tool integrated within its Concur Connect online booking tool.
Concur has linked up to the Trainline Connect API which allows a comparison rail and air options. Other benefits of the deal mean that e-receipts from the rail purchase are fed directly into expense reports.
Barry Padgett, EVP & GM of Europe for Concur said: “Growing our Concur Connect platform with leading travel suppliers like thetrainline.com, allows us to provide our corporate clients with services that will save them time and money while making business travel easier and more productive for their employees.”
Ian Cairns, head of distribution for thetrainline.com, said: “The adoption of Trainline Connect by market leaders like Concur continues to confirm thetrainline.com as the leading provider of rail booking technology solutions to the business travel market.”
The deal takes immediate effect for TMCs who use Concur’s technology, with clients having the same level of access next month.
