  2. 📂 Automate your payroll file transfers

    New Feature

    Gone are the days of manually downloading and importing payroll files. With this slick update, you can automate the entire payroll file process.

    Simply hop into your payroll settings, select 'SFTP server' as your exchange mode, and decide if you want to send payroll files automatically or after a manual check. Whether you're working with Attentia, SD Worx eBlox, Ulis, or Mpleo, we've got you covered. If you work with a different social secretary, you can also pick up the files from our server yourself.

    Your files will safely land where they need to be, ready for processing by your social secretary. It’s secure, it’s efficient, and it’s ready to make your payroll workflow as smooth as silk.

    👉 Head over to your Payroll Settings > Details and set up your SFTP exchange. Available on our Enterprise plan.

    Note: customers of Partena, Securex and Attentia Dots can keep on using our existing payroll API integrations.

  4. 🏠 Put housing expenses on auto-pilot

    New Feature

    Housing costs reign supreme as the top expense category within the legal mobility budget, accounting for a whopping 77% of all expenses. But here's the kicker— these expenses are only allowed if they meet one of 2 strict conditions:

    1. Employee lives within 10km from the office (as the crow flies).

    2. Employee works at least 50% of the time from home that month.

    Until now, HR admins have been stuck in the trenches, manually calculating and checking these conditions for each employee, each month.

    With our Housing Cost Eligibility Checker, HR admins can now easily see if an employee meets these conditions directly on each housing expense. Once approved, consider it a done deal—future housing expenses will be automatically approved each month.

    We've even built in failsafes to prevent fraud or errors, like halting automatic approval if the employee moves or changes their expense. It's automation at its finest, and we're proud to be the only ones on the market offering such a seamless solution for housing costs.

    👉 Go to your Expenses overview > click on any housing expense > Auto-approval

    New Feature

    Now, with just a glance or a tap, you can log in on our mobile app. Our support for biometric logins (Face and Touch ID) makes unlocking your account smoother than ever.

    Picture this: you're at the train station, racing against the clock to snag that last-minute ticket and add an expense before the train rolls in. With Biometric Login, there's no need to fumble with passwords when you're on the go. Open the app, give it a quick glance or a gentle touch, and you're in!

    👉 Activate on your Mbrella app in Settings > Security. The app is available on the Apple App Store (iOS) or the Google Play Store (Android).

  9. 🌐 All commuting trips, one export

    Improvement

    Now, you can export all trips logged in the Commute Planner—not just those with kilometer allowances. This means more data, more insights, and more control.

    With this upgrade, you can enhance your reporting for more informed decision-making and detect potential fraud more effectively. For instance, spot if employees are underutilizing their train subscriptions. Additionally, this feature lets you recognize and reward eco-friendly commuting habits, such as biking. We even have customers giving bike incentives based on this data.
