Overview
SAP Concur is an enterprise travel and expense (T&E) management platform for mid-market and enterprise businesses, owned by SAP SE. It covers expense reporting, travel booking (via Concur Travel), invoice management, and spend analytics. Pricing is entirely quote-based; there is no published per-user rate. SAP has an established Dublin office and Ireland is a named market, providing a degree of local account management for enterprise customers. An EU data centre deployment is available, though the default hosting can vary - businesses should confirm EU-only residency in their contract. VAT on expense receipts can be captured and categorised, including for Irish multi-rate scenarios. Settlement flows back to the customer's ERP (typically SAP S/4HANA or a third-party ERP), so SEPA Direct Debit is not a feature of Concur itself but of the downstream ERP. Receipt images stored in Concur satisfy Revenue's 6-year digital retention requirement per eBrief 09/15. Not suitable for SMEs - the implementation cost and complexity are pitched at companies with dedicated finance teams.
Vendors.ie Verdict
SAP Concur is the de facto standard for Irish enterprise finance teams that already operate within a SAP ecosystem. The Dublin office gives Irish enterprise customers a local point of contact, and the platform handles Irish multi-rate VAT on expenses reliably. Receipt images stored in Concur satisfy Revenue's 6-year digital retention requirement per eBrief 09/15. That said, it is not a credible option for Irish SMEs - the quote-only pricing, lengthy implementation cycles, and complexity of the platform are sized for companies with a dedicated finance function. Businesses below 50 employees should start with Pleo or Soldo.
