Employees are notified in real time by means of a policy violation pop-up when they have exceeded the annual distance slab, and the reduced mileage rate is automatically applied for the expense.

Support for advance requests and trip requests on the mobile app

These features were in the works for quite some time, and have now been released after rigorous testing and customization. The release of these features on the mobile app makes it very convenient for users to request for advances, and route trip requests for approval right from within the mobile app! More updates and tweaks coming your way to ensure you have the same delightful experience on the mobile app as well.
