Travel Reimbursement
One report for the whole trip.
Every business trip in one place — the miles you drive, the nights you stay, and the meal per diem that comes with them. Log it from your phone, submit a single report, and each part routes to the right approver automatically. No spreadsheets, no rate formulas to maintain, no email threads.
How it works
Three steps from the parking lot to your paycheck.
Log the whole trip
Open the tool on your phone. Log mileage address-to-address — the current rate and the daily mileage reduction are applied for you — then add any overnight stay with its receipt and turn on the meal per diem. It all lives on one report.
Save your regular drives as routes so logging mileage becomes a single tap.
Submit once — it routes itself
Submit the report and the tool sends each part to the right person: mileage to your manager, lodging and meal per diem to your business unit head. Each section is reviewed on its own.
A section sent back comes with a specific reason — fix just that part and resubmit, no starting over.
You're reimbursed
Once every section is approved, the report feeds the accounting export and is paid through payroll based on the pay period it cleared. You're notified the moment an approver acts.
Pending reports surface in your daily digest email and the notification bell so nothing stalls.

Why you’ll use it
Travel reimbursement shouldn’t be work.
The old way meant a mileage spreadsheet, a lodging receipt buried in email, and a separate note about meals — submitted whenever someone remembered. Travel Reimbursement folds it into one report that routes itself and tracks the travel policy’s 30-day submission window so nothing expires unclaimed.
One report for the whole trip
Mileage, lodging, and meal per diem all live on a single monthly report instead of three separate processes.
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 right rate, applied for you
Rates are effective-dated, so every report uses the rate in force for its period, and the daily mileage reduction is handled for you. No formulas to maintain, no stale spreadsheet.
Routed to the right approver
Mileage goes to your manager; lodging and meal per diem to your business unit head — automatically, and approved section by section.
Frequent routes: one click
Save the routes you drive every week. Adding a trip to your report becomes a tap, not a form.
Nothing falls through the cracks
Pending reports surface in your daily digest email and the notification bell, and each report shows the days left in the 30-day submission window. If something needs attention, you'll know.
Who uses it
Built for the field and for the people who approve it.
Employees
Anyone who travels for work — property managers, maintenance, leasing agents, and staff making site visits or overnight trips. Log mileage, add lodging and the meal per diem, and submit one report for approval.
- Log trips from your phone in seconds
- Save your most-driven routes for one-click logging
- Add overnight lodging and the meal per diem
- Track each section's status in real time
- Get notified the moment a section is approved or returned
Managers
Managers approve the mileage on their team’s reports — and see only their own people, no noise from the rest of the org. Approve in a click, or send it back with a note explaining exactly what to fix.
- Review only the reports assigned to you
- Trip-by-trip detail before you approve
- Approve mileage or send back with a reason
- Returned reports come back automatically when corrected
- Notification bell and daily digest surface what's pending
Business unit heads
Business unit heads preapprove overnight travel and approve the lodging and meal per diem sections. The itemized folio and the per-diem night count are right there, with duplicate flags on repeat trips, stays, and per-diem nights to catch double-billing.
- Approve lodging and meal per diem sections
- Open the itemized folio inline to verify charges
- See the approved-overnight count behind the per diem
- Duplicate warnings flag repeat trips, stays, and per-diem nights
- Send a section back for a missing receipt or personal charge
Designed for the field, not the office.
