Managing your business’s accounts payable (AP) and expense management shouldn’t be a headache. You need a solution that’s efficient, cost-effective, and hassle-free—without unnecessary complexity. While SAP Concur is a big name in the industry, ASSIST.biz Enterprise offers a smarter, AI-powered alternative that’s built for businesses like yours, especially in Asia. Let’s break down why ASSIST.biz Enterprise is the better choice.

1. E-Invoicing Compliance Made Easy

If your business operates in Asia, Europe, or Latin America, keeping up with e-invoicing regulations can be tricky. ASSIST.biz Enterprise makes it simple with built-in compliance for InvoiceNow (Singapore), MyInvois (Malaysia), Peppol (Europe & APAC), Latin America CFDI, and EU VAT. SAP Concur? You’ll likely need to bring in third-party tax tools like Avalara, which means extra costs and setup time.

2. Smarter AP Automation with AI-Powered Fraud Detection

No one has time to manually sift through invoices, track expenses, or worry about fraud. That’s where ASSIST.biz Enterprise shines:

  • AI-driven invoice processing that saves time and cuts down errors.

  • Automated three-way matching (Invoice, PO, Receipt) to prevent fraud.

  • Smart fraud detection powered by AI to catch duplicate invoices and policy violations instantly.

With SAP Concur, you’ll get basic workflow automation, but fraud detection relies on manual rules—which means more room for errors and extra work.

3. Built for Global Businesses: Multi-Format & Multi-Language Support

Not all businesses work in just one language or format, and that’s where ASSIST.biz Enterprise stands out.

  • Supports multiple file formats: PDF, XML, EDI, CSV, Peppol BIS, UBL.

  • Understands multiple languages: English, Chinese, Malay, Japanese, Thai, Vietnamese, and more.

SAP Concur? It’s mainly English-focused and doesn’t handle as many document types—so if you work across multiple regions, you’ll face limitations.

4. Connects Seamlessly with the Tools You Already Use

A great AP solution should work with your existing software, not against it. ASSIST.biz Enterprise offers seamless integration with Epicor, SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, QuickBooks, NetSuite, Xero, and more. Plus, you get pre-built connections with Looker, Tableau, Power BI, and AI-driven reporting.

On the other hand, SAP Concur is built mainly for SAP ERP, which means if you’re using something else, you might struggle with compatibility issues.

5. More Flexibility, Less Cost

Let’s talk about deployment and pricing:

  • ASSIST.biz Enterprise lets you choose between cloud and on-premise deployment, so you have full control.
  • You pay based on a flat fee or per-document pricing, making it affordable and scalable as your business grows.

  • SAP Concur? It’s cloud-only (SaaS) and follows a subscription-based, per-user + per-invoice pricing model, which can get expensive fast.

6. Lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)

Because ASSIST.biz Enterprise automates so many manual processes, you’ll save time and money in the long run. SAP Concur, on the other hand, often requires extra integrations and third-party tools, which drive up the total cost of ownership.

Final Thoughts: Why ASSIST.biz Enterprise is the Right Choice

If you’re looking for a smarter, AI-powered, and cost-efficient way to manage AP and expense automation, ASSIST.biz Enterprise is the way to go. With built-in compliance, intelligent automation, flexible integrations, and lower costs, it’s designed to help businesses work smarter, not harder.
