🌊 Web OCR flow improvements

After a few rounds of customer feedback, our product team identified key opportunities to improve the web OCR flow. We are excited to announce that these improvements are now being rolled out in waves to all customers with OCR in their package.

What's new? 

• More concise user experience (less clicks and less screens to go through to save the expense).
  
• Users don’t have to switch between screens to complete and save a transaction.

The result? A more efficient and user-friendly workflow that saves time, allowing users to focus on what really matters.

🗺️ Mileage module improvements: Map view

In the Mileage module, the map image looked distorted (stretched) when the Map Proxy API was switched on. This disrupted the user experience. We have now improved the proportions of the map to solve this issue.

Maintenance

🧳 .NET Migration

As of May 1, 2024, Xamarin is no longer supported or updated by Microsoft. Following Microsoft's decommissioning of Xamarin support, we made a strategic shift from Xamarin to .NET, ensuring our solutions stay cutting-edge and effective.

This transition brings several advantages:

• Unified Development: .NET provides a single framework for building cross-platform applications, improving development efficiency and consistency.
• Future-Proofing: .NET is the evolution of Xamarin, ensuring long-term support and access to the latest features and updates.
• Simple migration: The migration was simple and allowed us to update the tech without investing too much effort.

Ecosystem and integrations

👥 Egencia integration - Traveller profile sync

We have enhanced the Egencia integration to improve the synchronisation of traveller profiles within MXP in order to deliver a smoother approval flow.

This update allows for the synchronisation of an employee’s L1 and L2 approvers, even when the approver belongs to a different MXP entity and Egencia company. This capability ensures that companies can maintain consistent approval structures across different entities, mirroring the employee’s supervisor profiles within associated Egencia companies.

We have also added new options for system administrators. They can now manage how phone numbers are synced. This gives them more control over the data shared between MXP and Egencia.

🚣 Amex OneDDS DNS

The integration of Amex One DDS DNS has been improved to ensure that boat services, along with their details and itineraries, are displayed at the transaction level. 

Furthermore, the new integration logic has removed travellers' personal details from the transaction comments section to fully adhere to GDPR regulations.

These improvements not only enhance data visibility and accuracy but also strengthen compliance, ensuring a more secure and efficient experience for both users and organisations.

Insights

🚘 Product guidelines for WPM implementation

To make sure that our product stays up-to-date with regulations, we have delivered guidelines on how we can support compliance with the Work-Related Personal Mobility (WPM) report regulations in the Netherlands.

These guidelines not only help our customers comply to the new regulations but also give us the time needed to develop a comprehensive plan for supporting compliance with broader CO2 emission disclosure regulations.

 ✈️ Reporting on Travel Request data

We’ve added Travel Requests which includes Flights, Accommodations, Car rental to the data model of Insights.
This means that they can now be linked to actual expenses and it will empower controllers and CFOs even more when assessing compliance for travel expenses.

Existing customers can now use Insights, previously available in MXP Analytics, to easily access all the data they need for their reports, ensuring a seamless and comprehensive reporting experience.
