POINTS BUDGETS ARE NOW AVAILABLE ON MY-SMI®

Managing employee allowances just got easier.

Points Budgets make it easier to give employees access to the products they need while helping your business maintain a consistent purchasing process.

The new feature allows you to allocate points-based allowances to employees and order placers directly within MY-SMI®.

Instead of manually tracking spending and managing allowances outside the platform, you can assign budgets, monitor remaining balances, and keep purchasing under control, all in one place.

WHAT'S NEW?


With Points Budgets, you can:

  • Allow purchases above budget where required
  • Assign point budgets to employees and order placers
  • View remaining balances directly from your dashboard
  • Order through approved catalogues using allocated points
  • Greater flexibility when reviewing and updating orders during approval
MY-SMI® Points Budgets Feature

WHY USE POINTS BUDGETS?


Managing purchasing allowances across multiple teams or locations can quickly become time-consuming.

Because the feature works alongside your approved catalogues, your team can continue ordering from the products you've already approved. Points can also help make pricing feel less transactional, shifting the focus away from cash prices and towards rewards and value.

This helps reduce administration, improves consistency, and gives your staff greater confidence that allowances are being used as intended.

READY TO GET STARTED?
