Why use Topia with Concur Travel & Expense?

• Identify risks instantly before travel is booked and comply with new regulations

• Simplify volumes of Concur Travel & Expense data into actionable dashboards with alerts

Dashboards show your employees’ work locations and travel footprints at a glance and embedded alerts warn you of growing risks before limits are reached. Manage Permanent Establishment risk and Payroll Tax withholding apportionment with configurable thresholds reflecting your company’s risk tolerance.
