The Best SAP Concur Alternative in 2025
Swap out a basic travel management platform for a complete and feature-rich one. While SAP Concur is a long-standing name in expense management, its travel solutions are often seen as cumbersome and outdated. Routespring offers a modern, integrated, and user-friendly alternative designed for the needs of today's businesses.

SAP Concur is a traditional provider of expense and invoice management solutions for businesses. It provides services that assist organizations in streamlining their financial operations. While strong in expense processing, its travel booking and management tools are often criticized for being less user-friendly and flexible than modern alternatives.
Key Features:
- Higher price tag compared to other travel management alternatives.
- The platform’s updates are infrequent and slow in offering new features and improvements.
- Established but criticized for its limitations on flexibility, integrations, and travel modifications, causing frustration for users.
- Requires extensive training and lacks the resources to empower users to effectively use the platform.
- The mobile app pales in comparison to the desktop version in terms of performance.
- The customer support has been rated as unsatisfactory, with representatives taking weeks to respond.
Why corporate travel is getting real perks with Routespring
Removes the reimbursement process
Reduce administrative burden by up to 60% with the elimination of out-of-pocket expenses. Our centralized payment options mean employees no longer use personal cards for major travel costs.
Automation of unused travel credits
Get up to 100% cost recovery on nonrefundable tickets by automatically tracking and applying unused credits to future bookings, a feature often cumbersome with traditional TMCs.
Centralized payments for all travel
Use a single corporate card, direct debit, or virtual cards for all your travel bookings. This simplifies reconciliation and provides real-time visibility into spend, eliminating manual expense reports.
Consumer-grade booking
Our intuitive, easy-to-use platform empowers employees to book their own travel within policy. No GDS-certified agents are necessary, as it provides detailed policy controls that can be extended to agents if needed.

Why is Routespring better than SAP Concur?

An affordable solution that includes customer support at no additional cost, accommodates last-minute requests, and guarantees price matching.
