Case Study: LMI Aerospace achieves increased visibility and faster expense approvals with SAP Concur

Concur Solutions Help Aerospace Companys Travel and Expense Management System Take Flight

LMI Aerospace, a 67‑year‑old supplier of structural assemblies, kits and design services for commercial and defense aerospace, faced a fragmented travel and expense process: employees charged purchases to corporate AmEx cards but submitted expenses inconsistently—some via Excel, some only as receipts—resulting in massive monthly statements, no spend visibility and little oversight.

By deploying Concur Travel & Expense and Managed Reporting, LMI centralized card transactions, standardized policies and easily onboarded new acquisitions. The system delivered immediate visibility that uncovered meeting‑space and shuttle spend, supported better hotel and card negotiations, and sped approvals—69% of reports now approve in 0–3 days (vs. two weeks previously)—giving LMI the tools to pursue volume‑purchase savings and smarter vendor rates.
