Your Melon Analytics Dashboard gives you real-time insights into your company’s travel activity, spend, and behaviour—helping you make smarter decisions at a glance.


🧭 Where to Find It

As an Admin, you'll be taken directly to the Analytics tab when you log into the Admin Portal. The default view is the Overview Dashboard, but you can navigate through several powerful reports from here.


🔍 Key Dashboards at a Glance

Each dashboard gives a unique view of your programme:

  • Overview – A snapshot of total travel spend and trends by type, class of travel, and advance purchase windows

  • Top Travellers – See who’s travelling most often and where your spend is concentrated

  • Missed Savings – Highlights opportunities where cheaper fares were available but not selected

  • Traveller Safety – Maps current traveller locations and active risk alerts

  • Upcoming Trips – Shows who is travelling soon, where to, and on what services

  • Carbon Footprint – Tracks CO₂ emissions by trip type, class, and traveller

  • Transaction Details – Full financial breakdown, perfect for finance teams

  • Approvals – View all bookings that required approval, actioned times, and performance by policy


🧰 Tools You Can Use

  • Filters – Narrow down reports by group, region, date, cost centre, reason for travel, and more (top-left corner - funnel icon)

  • Drill Through – Hovering on any chart segment will show 3 ellipsis in the top right hand corner - click on this to dive deeper into that data

  • Export – Click the three dots on any report tile to export to Excel or switch the view to table format

  • Live Alerts – Traveller Safety dashboard highlights real-time risks via red (critical), yellow (warning), or blue (info) notifications
