🚀 New features​

Invoicing Portal​

We are happy to release a new to handle PDF invoicing in eMabler platform, Invoicing Portal! On the Invoicing Portal you can see, approve, delete, regenerate or send monthly invoices. Monthly invoices are generated if the invoicing feature is turned on and it can be turned on from the Invoicing Portal settings. After turning the feature on you are able to start adding payer and recipient information to drivers or sites.

We currently support two ways of invoicing:

• driver as payer and site as recipient (E.g. EV car owner getting invoiced from the housing condominium)
• site as payer and customer as recipient (E.g. housing condominium getting invoiced from the company using eMabler platform)

These two ways allows for a robust approach of managing invoices for you business.

New Invoice Portal can be found from https://invoicing.emabler.io/

Landing page of the Invoicing Portal provides a quick overview of all the functionalities available in the portal.

You can preview the invoice before deciding whether it should be approved and sent or deleted and regenerated.

🚀 New features​

New experience for using DLM​

We have been working hard on making the Dynamic Load Management easier to use in our platform and today we are launching the new DLM experience! Now DLM is more tightly connected to existing site structure and it has a new page for managing it built from the ground up. Enabling DLM for a site is now as easy as setting up the correct earthing system and the max current the fuses can handle and activating it. You can see real time statistics on how much amperage your site is using and how much individual sockets are using current. The support for external metering is also still there, so you can configure more complex setups and still have a good experience with the Dynamic Load Management.
