Mileage Calculator - Favorite locations?

[AAMoran]

We have a number of rales reps across the country.  They do not go into the office, they either work from home, or they drive to customer locations.  At our recent sales meeting, one of the representatives voiced frustration that when he uses the mileage calculator, he has to enter his full home address each time, and that it would be a lot simpler if he could just type home.  I have seen other posts where it is explained that Concur does not allow this because the normal commute from a person home to office is netted against any mileage reimbursement, but in the case of the sales reps, their office is their home, so the normal commute is zero miles, so there is no netting that is required.  Additionally, sales reps may travel to the same customer a number of times throughout the year, so it would be helpful if each rep could save their largest customer locations as favorites.

Note: 

I have gone into the Google Maps app, set my home up, and it does not pull into the calculator. 

I also gave the Concur app access to the contacts on my phone, but still, it does not recognize them in the mileage calculator.

I have seen other comments on trying to clear browser cache, and that does not seem to do anything either.

Any insights would be appreciated.

@AAMoran the only option for saved locations is if your company uses Concur Travel. However, this is more used for saving Company Locations if your company has different office locations. I suppose it could be used to store the addresses of Sales Reps, but that is a lot of manual input of all those home addresses. 

Also, if you aren't using Concur Travel, you wouldn't be able to do this.

Kevin;

Thanks for the update on this.  We are not using Concur Travel at this time.  While this isn't the answer that I had hoped for, it sounds like a definitive no, which we can live with.  Even if we were using travel, I would not want to set up Sales Reps addresses as 'Company Locations', because I am sure that anyone in the company could see the addresses, and that would be a privacy concern, and potential liability.
