Never miss a birthday again

Every birthday shows up in MATANA before it happens. Pick a gift, add a reason, and it lands in their wallet on the day — no reminders to set, no spreadsheet to check.

How it works

From reminder to celebration

  1. 1
    Days before

    It shows up for you

    The birthday appears in the Action Center's upcoming list, next to a Send gift button.

  2. 2
    A few clicks

    Choose the gift

    Pick something from your catalog — or offer a choice — and add a personal reason.

  3. 3
    On the day

    It lands in their wallet

    The employee opens the app to find their gift, ready to claim. Add a shout-out on Home if you like.

  4. 4
    After

    Accounted for

    The gift is logged by reason in your budget, so you know exactly what birthdays cost this year.

  • Show only moments without a plan
  • Send gift or Plan, right next to each one
