Great cost-effective and simple mileage tracking service

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use MileIQ to track business trip mileage for our team of field analysts and technicians for expense reimbursement . In the past, the techs needed to track their own trips manually, using a calendar to list daily appointments and google maps to estimate distance to then be itemized on the expense forms.

Pros

  • Accurately tracks trips
  • Simplifies categorizing each trip
  • Easy to run monthly reports for totals

Cons

  • Integrate the paid version's admin console into the phone app for easier management.

Return on Investment

  • Reduced the amount of time it takes for employees to process their monthly mileage expenses between 85-95%
  • Far more accurate trip tracking through GPS vs. calculating estimated mileage post-trip using Google maps.
  • Cuts down significantly on the time it takes for expense approvers to review their team's monthly mileage reimbursement.

MileIQ - the name is exactly how it operates

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Tracks all business mileage and produces consistent reports across all employees. We presently have 3 users that submit mileage for reimbursement. It integrates well with Dext - our expense report management system. Easy to reconcile at the end of every month, with very detailed trip logisitics.

Pros

  • track mileage very accurately
  • easily categorize business versus personal trips
  • reports are quite simple to generate and forward to DEXT
  • settings are easy to set-up for proper government approved mileage rates

Cons

  • For our limited purposes - there is nothing missing - it does it's function of tracking, calculating mileage costs and reporting very well. Do not need anything else.

Return on Investment

  • Very automated, less than 10 minutes a week to categorize drives, another 10 minutes at the end of the month to create a report. Easy and efficient use of employee time.
  • Easily integrates with our Expense Management System and Accounting packages
  • No manual intervention at all required by employees - no tracking required on their part.
