What stops being manual?

Every month, somebody exports a file, fixes it in a spreadsheet, and imports it somewhere else. Connect is how that stops.

  • Employee and cost centre data

    New starters, leavers and org changes flow from your HR system into Concur automatically. No more spreadsheets of joiners.

  • Expense and invoice postings

    Approved transactions post into your ERP without anyone exporting, reformatting or rekeying them.

  • Cost object data

    Projects, departments and entities stay in step across both systems, so coding stays right.

  • Month-end

    Reconciliation becomes a check rather than a rebuild.

Why it matters

When your systems don't talk, your teams take the hit.

Your SAP Concur platform needs to exchange data seamlessly with your ERP, HR, and finance systems.

Yet many organisations still rely on manual processes, fragmented data, and fragile legacy integrations – creating risk, inefficiency, and missed opportunities.

98%

of finance leaders have invested in automation – yet only 41% have automated just a quarter or less of their finance processes.

5×

Processing an invoice by hand costs around 5× more than an automated one – and takes far longer: 17.4 days versus 3.1.

Manual Workflows

Teams spend hours each week manually moving data between SAP Concur and back-office systems – a process prone to human error, duplication, and delays that cannot scale.

Lack of Automation

Without automated integration, finance teams operate in a reactive state – resolving discrepancies instead of delivering insight. The value of SAP Concur is diminished when it sits isolated.

Legacy Technology

Older systems weren't built to integrate easily. But that's not a reason to accept broken data flows – it's precisely where innovelCONNECT™ was designed to bridge the gap.

System Integration Gaps

Most organisations have pockets of disconnected systems – SAP Concur running parallel to an ERP, with no reliable data exchange. Each gap represents cost, risk, and lost productivity.

Data Silos

When expense, invoice, employee, and cost data live in separate systems with no shared logic, reporting becomes a reconciliation exercise rather than a management tool.

How Connect works

Rather than replacing your standard SAP Concur integrations, innovelCONNECT™ enhances and optimises them – an intelligent layer that sits between SAP Concur and your back-office systems, without altering your source systems.

80% of integrations follow common patterns. 20% are custom to your setup. innovelCONNECT™ is built for both.
