SAP Concur has partnered with travel risk management provider Anvil Group, the companies have announced. Concur will integrate its products and solutions via application program interface with Anvil Group's Riskmatics risk management platform, which provides real time tracking, alerting and assistance.
Anvil Group is the latest to join Concur's duty-of-care partner network. Last year, Concur announced it would sunset its Concur Locate and Risk Monitoring duty-of-care products by September 2021 in favour of a duty-of-care partner network facilitated by an enhanced API. The strategy pivot was in response to the increasing demand from clients for greater data flexibility and access to a wider variety of duty-of-care products and services, according to Concur.
Matthew Judge, group managing director of Anvil Group, said, “The events of recent years have taught us that health and safety risks are not confined to areas of existing conflict. With terrorist attacks, natural disasters and epidemics occurring around the world, risk management has been brought to the fore of many travel policy discussions, but companies still need to go much further if they’re to prepare for and manage incidents effectively and protect their globally mobile workforces.”
