Benefits of integration Thrust Carbon and SAP Concur

By integrating Thrust Carbon and SAP Concur you can:

• Show complete defensibility with market-leading carbon methodologies

• Improve efficiency by using direct data feeds

• Analyse every travel emission, not just those booked via a TMC

What types of connections are there with SAP Concur?

Thrust Carbon leverages two of SAP Concur’s APIs:-

• Expenses V4

• Itinerary

Expenses V4

Via this API we are able to consume expense submissions including but not limited to taxi, ride share, car mileage, coach, rail, air, hotel, car hire etc. 

Data via this feed is spend data but gives us enough information to form a basic calculation of carbon emissions from that travel element. 

Itinerary

Via this API we are able to consume itinerary data from Concur Travel bookings, offline bookings reported into Concur Travel and Triplink itineraries.
