If you’re working in a MNC or a govt company, then chances are high that you get reimbursements for your travel expenses. Though not all the expenses are paid, but what about the ones that are taken care of? Do you take care of them? Let’s say that you’re a salesman and you get paid for all your business related travel expenses by the company. But to claim your reimbursements, you must provide them with all the related data including the miles you travelled, the starting and ending odometer readings, the purpose of your visit, etc. Collecting all this data and assembling it in one single document can be a big headache especially if it’s a regular job for you. Similarly, if you’re looking for some tax deductions for those travel expenses, then too you need to follow the same procedure. But is there any easy way out? Yes, now there is with MileBug!

MileBug tracks each and every inch of your trip using GPS. But literally speaking, it tracks approximately every 1/10th of a mile and puts a pin on the map to address that point. Even an unborn child can track you with that much accuracy on the road. But the app is not only about tracking your run but presenting it on the paper with ease so that your input is minimal. For each trip, there are some presets such as the type of visit. You have many options such as business, personal, medical related, charity or you can add your own new category. Then you can add vehicles to your stock with all the details. Once done, from next time you just have to select the vehicle and it’s done. These presets are general for every trip.

Once the journey is complete, the app will give you a detailed report of everything which you can directly submit into the concerned office without any reconsideration. So if you’re on a business trip, just worry about your business and leave everything else in the secure hands of MileBug.
