  1. 🤩 Fresh look: dedicated budgets section for better oversight

    Improvement

    With this new layout, we separate employee details from budget-specific insights. This enhancement allows for more efficient sorting and filtering of budget data, ensuring you can monitor allocations and spending with precision.

    More than a mere aesthetic upgrade, this change reflects Mbrella's commitment to evolving into an all-in-one mobility management platform, moving beyond just budgeting to support all your mobility needs.

    👉 Go to your Employees or Budgets module to see the new changes

  4. đź’Ż Payroll perfection. Introducing payroll corrections

    Improvement

    We get it, life happens, and so do payroll corrections. Ever had to make changes to your payroll after the fact? We know how frustrating that can be.

    Picture this: an employee mistakenly logs a bike ride during their vacation. Someone switches addresses and updates their commute distance post-move. Work-from-home days are registered,… but after payroll is closed. All those commuting trips now need to be corrected.

    With Mbrella's payroll corrections, your payroll is 100% accurate. Whether you need to completely replace an entry (overwrite) or simply adjust the difference (delta), this tool has you covered. No more wondering if you're paying too much. Rest easy, knowing that only the correct amount is flowing through your payroll.

    👉 Enable payroll corrections in your Payroll Settings (only available for social secretaries who cover corrections)

  5. 🤖 Scan and Go: introducing our AI-powered expense scanner

    New Feature

    Our new AI-powered expense scanner is here to transform how your employees handle receipts. With just a simple upload of a receipt or document, our AI-assistant jumps into action, automatically filling in all the necessary fields. This means your employees no longer have to spend 30-60 seconds to fill in all the expense fields. They can now enjoy instant, accurate expense submissions. All expense fields are captured in a flash - we’re talking expense title, amounts, dates, categories.

    👉 Our AI-powered expense scanner is currently in Beta and can be enabled in your Settings > Customisation > Expenses & km allowances

  6. 📅 End an employee’s mobility budget without offboarding

    Improvement

    Now, you can edit the end date of your employees' mobility budgets without having to offboard them. This update is perfect for those moments when an employee stops their legal mobility budget but continues using other Mbrella services.

    After stopping the mobility budget, the total budget amount will get prorated and you can initiate the pillar 3 cashout.

    👉 Go to Employees > Budgets > Edit budget to set an end date

  7. 🔄🚫 Reset and Refresh: Introducing monthly budget resets

    Improvement

    Start budgeting with a clean slate every month. Our new Monthly Budget Resets are designed to keep your monthly allocations sharp and your spending on point.

    With this new setting, what you don't use in your budget this month, will be lost for next month. Say you've got €100 for parking in January and you only use €20; come February, you start fresh again with another €100.

    Here’s the scoop:

    • Admins can now choose how budgets reset: either carry over the leftovers or start anew each month
    • Make sure your allocation period is set to 'monthly' to enable this feature.
    • Once set, this applies to all similar budget types within your organization - keeping it simple and consistent.

    👉 Go to your Settings > Customisation > Allocation method to get started with Monthly Budget Resets

  8. 📱 All your budgets, now on mobile!

    New Feature

    Our latest app update lets you see all your budget types—right from your phone.

    Now, not only can you track your yearly budget, but you can also dive into your monthly spending with ease. Plus, reservations are now factored into your remaining budget, ensuring no surprises.

    For those of you without a legal budget, we've expanded visibility to include all budget types, such as Flex, Business and Charge budgets. This means no matter what kind of budget you're managing, you'll see it all in one place.

  9. 📊 Your employees can now explore their mobility spend

    New Feature

    Your employees often ask us how much they’re spending on some mobility categories. Now, they no longer need to wonder. We've rolled out our Mobility Analytics dashboard to your employees, designed just for them to keep track of their transportation costs and earnings with precision.

    Now, they can easily see how much they're spending on car sharing, e-scooters, or even that daily bike ride to work. Whether they're considering buying a new bike or just curious about their spending habits, our new dashboard makes it simple and straightforward.

    What’s in store for them?

    • A detailed breakdown of their expenses by category, so they can see exactly what they’re spending the most on.
    • A clear, visual representation of their monthly spending trends, helping them manage their budget better and make smarter mobility choices.
