Why Centime is the Best Concur Alternative for Mid-Market Finance Teams

Concur was designed for expense tracking and travel reimbursements, not for managing a complete finance operation. For growing teams, this often means limited AP capabilities, no AR automation, and no built-in cash flow forecasting. As a result, businesses end up relying on multiple tools or manual spreadsheets to manage their finances.

Centime, on the other hand, is built as a true SAP Concur alternative. It unifies AP, AR, expense management, banking, and cash forecasting into one platform directly integrated with your ERP. With real-time visibility, automated workflows, and scalable automation, Centime helps finance teams operate more efficiently, making it the best Concur replacement for mid-market businesses looking to streamline and optimize their financial operations.

FAQs

How does Centime’s ERP integration differ from Concur’s?

Centime is embedded directly in NetSuite, Sage Intacct, and deeply with QuickBooks—no connectors or sync delays. Concur relies on external integrations that create lag and data gaps.

Does Centime support AR and forecasting?

Yes. Centime includes full AR automation and built-in cash flow forecasting—unlike Concur, which only supports AP.

What does ‘AP that pays you’ mean?

With Centime, you can earn up to 2.25% APY†† on AP balances before payment. Instead of your software provider profiting on your float, you do.

What’s the implementation timeline?

Centime customers typically go live in 2–3 weeks. Concur implementations often take months due to complexity and third-party integrations.

Do I have to switch banks to use Centime?

No. You can pay vendors from your existing accounts—or use Centime Banking* to earn interest on AP funds.
