Blue dot is pleased to announce the expansion of its relationship with SAP Concur, the world’s leading brand for integrated travel, expense, and invoice management, with the launch of Concur Benefits Assurance by Blue dot. This new solution meets the growing need to identify expenses that are considered taxable employee benefits in changing business environments and working scenarios.<\/p>\n
In the post-pandemic workplace, with a shift to a hybrid work environment that maintains remote work trends, and a return to business travel, the pressure is building for businesses to meet these challenges of dynamic taxation<\/a> requirements. The need to streamline processes together with the capability to capture and process hidden costs, new expense types and policies, compounds the need to replace manual activities and updates with a configurable, reliable solution that supports changing business needs. Blue dot’s leading-edge technology integrated with the SAP Concur workflow optimizes expense reporting with an efficient automated and dynamically updated tax compliance platform, eliminating the need for manual processing and updating.<\/p>\n Providing visibility into spend, Concur Benefits Assurance by Blue dot<\/a> helps organizations accurately and efficiently track, report and calculate taxable employee benefits hidden in expense reports.

Blue dot’s taxable employee benefits compliance platform enables an end-to-end streamlined process for effortless compliance.<\/p>\n \u201cThere are various aspects of a company\u2019s duty of care obligation. While many think of working security-related challenges first, managing employee spend properly means easing people\u2019s minds, too. For companies this can be a time-consuming and error-prone task if done manually. Ever-changing regulations, new expense types and working scenarios like bleisure or remote working are areas often managed in a grey zone from a tax perspective. Managing these expense types with the support of Concur Benefits Assurance helps companies stay compliant,\u201d says Pierre-Emmanuelle Tetaz, EMEA SVP and General Manager, SAP Concur.<\/p>\n
