It’s been a busy couple of months on the development front, not least in providing new or amended features to address specific customer business issues.

One area that’s received a fair bit of attention is Mileage.

Each new client seems to have a different methodology for recording mileage, and we do our best to reflect that.

For one client, we’ve just developed functionality which allows odometer readings to be tracked on a monthly basis, with the ‘beginning mileage’ odometer reading being dictated by the ‘ending mileage’ at the end of the previous month.

If you have a complex or unusual mileage-related requirement, let us know - we might surprise you with what we’re able to do.

Thanks to all those who participated in our User Survey. We’ll publish results shortly, but here’s a headline: We had over 2,000 respondents and the good news is that over 94% of you preferred WebExpenses to the traditional paper process.

We’ve drawn 6 winners from those that participated in the survey: Respondents 53, 46 and 6 in the Administrator/Accounts survey and Respondents 1213, 381 and 134 in the User/Approver survey.

More specifically: There’s an iPod shuffle on the way to each of Tina at EMI, Lynne at Amadeus, Jacelynn at Boardroom, Resham at Amadeus, Rob at Eisai and Jayne at Gangmasters. Gillian will be in touch with each of you shortly to ask for your delivery address.
