May 28th Product Release

New vendor editing, Google Scout, AI app visibility, and fixes.

Written by Garrett Browne

BetterTracker just got a major upgrade! You can now update vendor names across key areas of the platform, enabled accounts can now connect Google Workspace with the new Google Scout integration, identify AI-powered applications, and enjoy a smoother experience with several bug fixes and UI improvements. ✨


New BetterTracker Updates 🚀

We’ve released several exciting improvements designed to give you more control over your data, improve visibility into your software environment, and make BetterTracker even easier to use.

Here’s what’s new 👇


🎯 Update Vendor Names Across BetterTracker

You can now update any vendor assigned to data across BetterTracker, including:

  • Expenses

  • Contracts

  • 365 Scout

  • Google Scout

If a expense transaction, contract, or Scout item is connected to the wrong vendor, you can now quickly change the vendor name directly inside BetterTracker.

Why This Helps

Cleaner vendor data helps improve reporting accuracy, product matching, analytics, and organization across your workspace.

🧠 Smarter Vendor + Product Matching

When you select a vendor, BetterTracker now shows products related to that vendor.

This helps ensure the correct product is associated with the correct vendor and makes organizing your software environment faster and easier.


🔍 Introducing Google Scout for Google Workspace

Google Scout is now available for Google Workspace.

Using a secure OAuth connection, you can now sync and pull in:

  • Applications connected to your organization

  • Vendor and product details

  • User activity

  • App usage information

Google Scout also includes its own exportable PDF report.

Why This Helps

Google Scout gives you better visibility into your organization’s connected applications and software usage — all directly inside BetterTracker.


🤖 New AI-Powered App Visibility

365 Scout and Google Scout now help identify AI-powered applications across your environment.

You’ll now see:

  • AI badges on products

  • AI-powered apps counts

  • AI Native and AI-Enabled app indicators

Why This Helps

This gives organizations more visibility into where AI tools are already being used and helps support software governance, security awareness, and internal AI discussions.


🧭 Updated NavStack Icon Guide

We’ve simplified the NavStack badge experience by introducing a clickable icon guide.

The guide explains icons and badges including:

  • Feature Vendor

  • MBF

  • Looking for Information

  • Current Partner

  • AI badges

Why This Helps

This makes NavStack easier to understand while keeping the interface cleaner and less cluttered.


🛠️ Bugs & Improvements

We also made several fixes and improvements across BetterTracker to improve reliability and user experience.

Fixes Included

  • Fixed an issue where updating the Department or Owner in NavStack would not always save successfully.

  • Fixed an issue where NavStack PDF exports would fail for a small number of customers.

  • Improved parts of the user interface for a cleaner and smoother experience.

  • Fixed several OCR file upload issues to improve document processing and accuracy.

  • Resolved some Microsoft 365 integration API errors that were appearing for certain customers.

  • Fixed an issue where removing a vendor would not properly remove them from the Vendor Card.

  • Added general backend optimizations and stability improvements for a faster overall experience.


✨ More to Come

The features in this release are part of a much larger vision for BetterTracker.
