In a statement, the two companies said this would allow travellers, travel managers and TMCs to book multiple domestic and international rail journeys for the same trip.
Paul Dear, vice president of Concur Travel EMEA, SAP Concur, added: ¡°We work hard to identify solutions for travel managers¡¯ problems. One such headache was the ability - or lack of - to facilitate cross-border rail.
¡°Our solution with Trainline directly fixes that, whilst also meaning travel managers can offer more sustainable and affordable route options to their business travellers - providing a smooth and unified user experience across the entire SAP Concur portfolio.¡±
The new development was unveiled at Business Travel Show Europe in London on Wednesday (25 June).
Andrew Cruttenden, general manager at Trainline Partner Solutions, added that the extended partnership with SAP Concur would help to make rail ¡°a more accessible sustainable travel option for business travellers¡±.
¡°They want seamless access to a comprehensive rail offering - whether for domestic, cross-border or international journeys - across the UK and Europe,¡± said Cruttenden.
¡°They expect the same intuitive features they enjoy from consumer platforms, including full autonomy to manage their bookings.¡±
