So says iPointlive, which has developed a mobile phone app that can aid fleet managers when it comes to mileage claims, tax compliance and management reporting.

Steve Cole, director of the technology firm, said: ‘Inaccurate mileage claims are becoming an increasing problem for organisations. Companies can save time and money by discarding paperwork and investing in the latest software, such as iPointlive’s innovative mobile phone app. The software not only simplifies the job by automatically recording mileage but also generates web-based reports, ultimately reducing business costs.’

Cole added: ‘Our mobile app can also put a stop to any unauthorised journeys or breaks, by monitoring employees’ travel times. Journey lengths can also be analysed and re-calculated to minimise future mileage, which will help reduce fuel bills, and the company’s overall carbon footprint.’

The firm says the app also offers other business benefits including reduced costs, improved performance, reduced driver distraction and assisting with the compliance of health and safety laws.
