We hit a new record this month – more invoices paid through Mellow than ever before. Nice milestone, but there’s no time to rest.
We’ve been busy making the product work better for contractors and companies alike, plus we gave Project Radar some serious upgrades. Here’s what’s new.
API Now Gives You Contractor IDs
For whom: Companies using Mellow’s Public API to manage tasks.
We’re always working on our API to help you weave Mellow into your existing setup. (Want the technical details? Here’s the documentation.) And we’re genuinely interested in hearing what would make the service work better for you.
What we did: Now when you create an invitation for a new contractor, they automatically get a unique ID.
You can use these IDs however you need – building payment reports by contractor, connecting data across your systems, whatever makes sense for your workflow.
Faster Task Creation
For whom: All companies.
What we did: We cut out the service catalog selection step. Now when you’re creating a task, you jump straight to picking the actual service you want to assign.
We also changed how custom services work. Sometimes clients need services that aren’t in our standard list – those now stick to the top of your menu so you’re not hunting through options every time.
The whole task creation flow is quicker now, whether you’re clicking through the interface or using the API.
Along the way, we did some hallway research – talked to our support and sales teams, checked in with clients. We wanted to understand how we could make the interface even better. Everything we learned is now feeding into new UIs we’re building.
Project Radar Got Noticeably Better
For whom: Freelancers looking for projects.
What we did: Added a tab where you can see every project you’ve applied to. Plus, Project Radar now shows you what’s new and what you’ve already looked at.
Small touches, but they make a difference. We’ve been iterating on the service steadily, and the numbers are pretty encouraging: this month, the percentage of users we found projects for jumped from 76% to 93%.
