A constantly updated overview of the app’s news and improvements
We are working to make the management of your projects even smoother and more automated.
From the Safety pages you’ll call Mela Brain with one tap: it will add your company’s members as workers all at once, and the documents it cites will open straight from the chat.
Ask Mela Brain “Where’s the photo of the slab pour?”: it reads the site’s photos, documents and voice messages and answers with a link to the site report that holds it, which opens right inside Mela.
With the next app update for iPhone and Android, the camera and mic will turn into the send button, the keyboard will stay open and, if you leave a task, your message will wait for you as a draft. Photos taken with an iPhone will be sharper, and you’ll find every file you’ve exported in your profile.Why Mela replaces WhatsApp on site
When you export, you’ll pick every option in a single window and filter by groups and suppliers too.
In task messages, put what matters in bold, italics or underline: the missing material, the date you can’t afford to miss. It works in photo and video captions too.
Why Mela replaces WhatsApp on site
Next to each task’s deadline, a warning flags the ones already overdue and the ones closed late. With the filters you see in a moment what’s due this week.
Discover how to plan interventions and deadlines
An item to add, a chapter to move, a new quote in PDF? Ask Mela Brain: it updates the work scope you already saved, and the site budget follows on its own.
Discover bills of quantities, measurement books and SALs
On your smartphone, clock-ins read at a glance and you edit them full screen. The monthly summary fits the screen, and site hours and costs scroll with one finger. On a tablet you see the whole week, Sunday included.
Discover attendance and clock-ins on site
Next to each question you can add an example photo or a PDF with the procedure: whoever is on site sees right away how it’s done. Photos zoom in with a tap.
Discover digital site checklists
When you link a checklist to a site report, Mela only suggests the checklists set up for that task. Less searching, fewer mistakes.
Discover daily site reports
The warehouse is arrived in Mela: articles, stock and pallets always up to date, and materials on their way to your sites tracked.
Company, workers — including your subcontractors' — equipment, tasks: all your safety documents in one place, with a dashboard that tells you what's about to expire and what's blocking. And on every task you see who's cleared to enter the site, with each worker's QR code ready for checks.
Add your delivery notes and invoices, and let Mela register your suppliers automatically. You can find them anytime, see which sites they've worked on and track the real spend.
For the first time, an AI built for construction works alongside you inside Mela. Brain knows your project, understands what you're working on, and generates accounting, checklists, work scopes, and measurements.
The dashboard compares what you've produced with what you've spent, task by task. Instantly spot which are profitable and which are running at a loss — with period charts and a summary table.
Starting from today, say goodbye to manual calculations. Generate your project status report directly from Mela data, ready to be sent and approved.
When a colleague adds photos, work logs or documents to one of your tasks, you receive an instant alert — even with the browser running in the background.
Set the rules once — automatic lunch break, minute rounding, automatic clock-out for forgotten shifts — and Mela applies them to the whole team, every day. Attendance data is ready to export in Excel.
Upload your supplier invoices and MelAI automatically matches them to the expenses of each task. Less manual data entry, zero errors, more time on site.
We redesigned the project view on the web portal. You will be able to customize columns, filters, and views to keep only the information that truly matters to you in sight.
Time entry report viewable from a smartphone as well as from the web portal
Enhanced cost analysis charts to deliver more information on site status
You can insert a bill of quantities into Mela simply by uploading an Excel/PDF file.
A worker who doesn’t have Mela can send photos, notes, and all updates through a dedicated WhatsApp chat. This information will automatically be added to your task in Mela.
Option to import or create a bill of quantities
Measurement books to record the quantities of work performed
For those who have purchased the “calendar” add-on, it’s possible to view the task list in Kanban mode
For example, when a new task is created, the correct status is automatically set (e.g. Quote request), or as soon as you add information (photo, note, report), the task automatically moves to the next status (e.g. In progress).
You can create a custom minutes or checklist template simply by uploading the document or a photo of the paper minutes, or by dictating to the AI assistant which template you want to create.
In the details of each activity, it is possible to assign the status of the work: "Site inspection carried out", "Quote accepted", "Quote rejected", "In progress", "Completed".
In every task, it is now possible to easily and intuitively see the days when information was entered and filter by a specific day.
From today, you can fill out a report or a checklist simply by speaking or typing what happened; Mela’s AI will automatically complete the fields.
Example: you can edit an existing work report that only includes hours worked by staff, and add materials used or any other accounting section.
Add a caption to specify the type of work carried out after the clock-in report has already been generated.
Bug fixes and various improvements in AI-assisted work report completion.
Task content (photos, reports, checklists, documents) is now grouped by date to make browsing and information retrieval easier.
The update that revolutionizes life on-site is here: to fill in a work report (with people, materials, equipment, etc.), just speak to our virtual assistant and describe what happened on-site… and the report will be generated automatically!
The automatic reading of delivery notes and invoices has been improved—data transcription accuracy (including invoice discounts and additional items) is now close to 100%. You can also generate a report from a photo of a receipt.
Admins can centrally manage which tags can be used by all company users.
Improved reliability of automatic report generation and resolution of various bugs.
Admins can centrally manage checklist/report templates to ensure users follow company-aligned formats.
When compiling a report, it’s now possible to attach a checklist—for example, to include weather conditions.
In addition to attaching photos to a checklist, you can now insert them into specific fields.
Clock-ins via the app can now be viewed in the web app with filtering options and map view.
Choose line color, thickness, and geometric shapes.
With the new Clock-In feature, workers can clock in/out from the site directly through the app and automatically generate a work report.
Once approved by a supervisor, checklists or reports remain editable for further corrections.
