Case Study: ASICS achieves Europe‑wide expense consistency, 40% process efficiency gains and faster reimbursements with SAP Concur

ASICS establishes process consistency across Europe with SAP Concur expense management

ASICS Europe, the regional arm of the global sportswear brand, faced a fragmented, paper-based expense process across 18 countries that relied on spreadsheets and physical receipts, creating slow reimbursements, compliance gaps and a near full-time administrative burden. The company set out to standardise operations, tighten accountability and deliver a more efficient, employee-friendly experience.

ASICS implemented SAP Concur Expense Management with integrations to SAP ERP/HR, Concur Intelligence, ExpenseIt Pro and Central Reconciliation, enabling mobile receipt capture, OCR, automated approvals and accurate mileage claims. Rolled out in 16 countries, the solution delivered a consistent audit trail, cut reimbursement time to twice weekly, increased process efficiency by 40%, improved spend visibility and reduced paper—supporting both compliance and sustainability goals.
