Case Study: Acumed achieves Sunshine Act compliance and 30% lower travel-booking fees with SAP Concur

A Shining Example of Compliance: Acumed's Ready for the Sunshine Act

Acumed, a Hillsboro, Oregon–based orthopedic device company founded in 1988 (about 350 employees and more than 90% of implants made in the U.S.), faced the dual challenge of replacing a manual expense process and meeting detailed physician‑spend reporting requirements under the federal Sunshine Act and varying state rules. Handling roughly 2,000 expense reports a year and capturing attendee details made accurate, auditable reporting and timely accounting difficult.

By deploying Concur Travel, Expense, Mobile, Pay and TripIt integrated with R‑Squared’s Aggregate Spend software and Acumed’s SAP ERP, the company automated attendee tracking, nightly accounting extracts and expense workflows into a single one‑login system. The result: compliant, real‑time visibility into spend, elimination of paper reports, a 30% reduction in travel‑booking fees, faster reimbursements and customizable auditing that delivered additional time and cost savings.
