Global pharmaceutical and healthcare giant Abbott cut its
U.S.-booked air volume to $94 million in 2016, according to a BTN estimate,
after spending $102 million the year prior. Though net sales increased to $20.9
billion in 2016, compared with $20.4 billion in 2015, the company also pared
back its selling and G&A expenses last year, including travel. Abbott uses
Concur for booking and expenses in the U.S. and for some operations in Europe
and the Asia/Pacific region. The company reports 94,000 employees in more than
150 countries.
