S.RIDE Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; President and Representative Director: Yohei Hashimoto; hereinafter 'S.RIDE'), which provides the taxi app 'S.RIDE®', announces that the number of companies applying for its corporate plan 'S.RIDE Biz' has exceeded 2,500 as of June 4, 2026.

'S.RIDE Biz' is a corporate contract plan that centralizes dispatch, payment, and billing management for corporate taxi usage. It supports various business travel scenarios such as invoice-based payment, web dispatch, multi-vehicle arrangements, and S.RIDE WALLET, while also helping to streamline back-office operations related to expense settlement and billing management.

Furthermore, starting in spring 2026, S.RIDE has begun a system integration with 'SAP Concur®', a travel and expense management cloud provided by Concur Japan Inc. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; President and Representative Director: Saei Hashimoto; hereinafter 'Concur'). This integration enables ride detail data based on S.RIDE Biz's invoice-based payments to be linked to 'SAP Concur', supporting further efficiency and enhanced governance in expense settlement operations related to corporate taxi usage.

Surpassing 2,500 Companies in Approximately Two Years Since Service Launch

'S.RIDE Biz' was launched as a corporate service to reduce the burden of traditional taxi usage, such as out-of-pocket payments, receipt management, and billing processing. It offers features to reduce the workload of administrative departments involved in expense settlement, including centralized management of taxi usage via invoice-based payments, compliance with the invoice system and the Electronic Bookkeeping Act, and a 'Ride Memo' function that allows users to input accounting categories themselves.

Additionally, the company has worked to improve convenience for business travel scenarios, such as web dispatch and proxy dispatch, which allow simultaneous arrangement of multiple taxis from a web browser.

The enhancement of features that solve challenges for both back offices and on-site operations, along with strengthened integration with external systems, has led to a continuous increase in applying companies, expanding the number to over 2,500 in approximately two years since the service launch.

Streamlining Expense Settlement Using Invoice-Based Ride Detail Data through 'SAP Concur' Integration

To further improve convenience for corporate taxi usage and support the efficiency of expense settlement operations, S.RIDE has initiated a system integration with 'SAP Concur'. This integration links ride detail data based on S.RIDE Biz's invoice-based payments to 'SAP Concur'. This allows companies using 'SAP Concur' to utilize corporate contract-based taxi usage data for expense settlement operations.

Efficiency of Expense Settlement Operations By linking ride detail data based on S.RIDE Biz's invoice-based payments to 'SAP Concur', the burden of data entry by employees and verification work by administrative departments is reduced.

Strengthened Governance Since actual ride detail data based on corporate contracts is linked, it supports the verification of usage details and improves transparency in expense management.

Efficiency of Administrative Operations By utilizing ride detail data linked to S.RIDE Biz's invoice-based payments, it contributes to the efficiency of billing management and expense settlement operations related to taxi usage.

Comment from Mr. Saei Hashimoto, President and Representative Director of Concur Japan Inc.

'SAP Concur has been supporting the reduction of the burden of corporate expense management operations and the advancement of management through integration with various external services.

With the addition of S.RIDE Biz, which is used by many companies as a corporate contract plan, companies will be able to achieve advanced expense management according to their own taxi usage environment. Concur will continue to promote service integration that responds to the diverse operational realities of companies, supporting the reform of corporate culture and the strengthening of competitiveness for Japanese companies.'
