Concur provides a user-friendly interface that enhances the reimbursement experience for all users. Concur is the single tool for reconciling all reimbursement claims (travel or non-travel) and all University-issues credit cards (T&E cards, Pcards, etc.) At the same time, Concur gives the Travel and Expense Management team better controls for managing the Travel & Expense Reimbursement program for UC Merced.
The Concur system allows users to capture any receipt, including both travel and non-travel expense, through a convenient mobile app. Some expenses can be automatically digitized, eliminating the need for paper receipts.
