Under a minute per trip

How it works

Three steps from the parking lot to your paycheck.

01

Log the trip

Open the tool on your phone, pick a saved route or enter start and end addresses. The distance and reimbursement amount calculate instantly — no IRS lookup, no math, no guessing.

Works for any drive: property visit, vendor run, office errand. Add a note if the purpose needs context.

02

Build and submit a report

Group the week's trips into a report. Review the list, check the subtotal, and submit. Your manager gets the request directly — no email thread needed.

Returned for revision? The tool tells you what to fix and lets you resubmit without starting over.

03

You're reimbursed

Once approved, the report moves to accounting and flows into the monthly reimbursement run. You get notified the moment your manager acts — approved or returned.

The daily digest email surfaces any reports still awaiting action so nothing slips through the cracks.

Why you’ll use it

Logging mileage shouldn’t be work.

The typical mileage process involves a spreadsheet someone half-maintains, an email to your manager, and a reminder three weeks later when nothing got processed. Travel Reimbursement replaces all of that.

Log it from the parking lot

The whole thing takes under a minute on your phone. No waiting until you're back at a desk.

The IRS rate is never stale

The current rate is applied automatically. You never under-claim because you forgot to update a formula.

Frequent routes: one click

Save the routes you drive every week. Adding a trip to your report becomes a tap, not a form.

Approval without email chains

Submit the report and your manager gets the request directly. They approve it, you get notified — no back-and-forth.

Nothing falls through the cracks

Pending reports surface in your daily digest email and the notification bell. If something needs attention, you'll know.

Who uses it

Built for the field and for the people who approve it.

Employees

Anyone who drives for work — property managers, maintenance, leasing agents, and staff who make site visits or run errands. You log trips as you go, group them into a weekly report, and submit for approval.

  • Add trips from your phone in seconds
  • Save your most-driven routes for one-click logging
  • See the reimbursement amount before you submit
  • Track each report's status in real time
  • Get notified immediately when approved or returned

Managers

Managers see only their direct reports' submissions — no noise from the rest of the team. Approve in one click, or return with a note explaining what needs to change. The tool routes the correction back to you once it's fixed.

  • Review only the reports assigned to you
  • One-click approve or return with a note
  • See the trip list before approving
  • Returned reports come back automatically when corrected
  • Notification bell and daily digest surface pending approvals

Designed for the field, not the office.

The whole workflow — logging a trip, building a report, checking approval status — works on any phone browser. No app to download. Open the toolbox on your phone and it adapts. Log the trip before you leave the parking lot.
