What does mileage tracking do?
0Mileage tracking is a general term for logging miles travelled for business. This can be done for a number of different reasons, including complying with regulations, tax or reimbursement of employees. This is useful and, in some cases, mandatory for numerous business types.
Essentially, all the miles that an employee drives for business purposes are tracked and recorded. This can be done via a number of different systems, from manual paper-based processes to excel spreadsheets to digital mileage logbook solutions that automate the entire process. Let’s consider this last one in more detail.

How does a mileage tracking app work?
0Let’s say you have a fleet of pool cars. A top-of-the-line mileage tracking app will create a profile for each of the drivers in your fleet. The driver can then manage their trip administration via the mobile app, easily logging key information such as purpose of journey, vehicle used, odometer setting and more. Some apps will even provide feedback on driving performance.
The odometer data is then updated in real-time straight from the vehicle’s odometer. All the data from the trip can then be stored, where it can be easily accessed by the fleet manager for mileage claims and tax detail verifications.

Why use a mileage tracking app for business?
0Simply, a high quality mileage tracking app makes life easier for drivers and fleet managers. Administration is simplified with more of your manual tasks automated. That means both driver and manager can give their full attention to other crucial tasks, increasing efficiency and decreasing stress levels.
There’s also the peace of mind of knowing that essential tasks are being handled by a reliable, consistent system. If and when tax authorities wish to audit your records to ensure your employee benefits are being accurately taxed, the reliable accuracy of your mileage tracking app’s records will come in very handy. Another crucial task taken care of!
As mentioned above, some mileage tracking apps will also provide feedback on how the driver is performing. For example, Webfleet Logbook offers driver feedback via the OptiDrive 360 system, which tracks key driving behaviours like speeding, driving events, idling, fuel consumption, constant speed, coasting and more. This data helps the driver work both more safely, more cost effectively and more sustainably on the road.
It is important, however, to take note of how any mileage tracking app you may utilise will manage the driver’s privacy. For example, a high quality mileage tracking app will give the driver the option to hide vehicle tracing if they are using their company vehicle for a private trip. Also, you want to be sure that your app provider is storing all your trip and driver data in the securest possible manner.
