Payhawk vs Concur FAQ
Payhawk outperforms Concur in several key areas that matter most to global finance teams:
- All-in-One Solution: Unlike Concur, which requires managing multiple providers (corporate cards, payments, and expense management), Payhawk offers an integrated, seamless solution. This means you don’t have to juggle different systems and can manage everything from one platform, simplifying global operations.
- Real-Time Visibility and Control: Payhawk provides advanced card controls and customizable spend limits, giving you immediate oversight of your company’s spending. You can enforce spending policies in real time, reducing the risk of fraud or unauthorized expenses.

While Concur takes around 4 months to implement and 21 months to see a return on investment, Payhawk can be up and running in just 2 months, with a 10-month ROI. This faster rollout means less disruption and more time for you to start seeing results.
