An article published by eHow.com opened my eyes. “How to Keep Vehicle Mileage Tax Records” was posted 2 or 3 years ago, it opened my eyes to how complicated it can be to track your mileage with a pen and paper.
Nowadays everything is moving to digital. Why? It is easier and faster to work digitally than using any technologies of the past.
Again, throw out your log books. They aren’t worth the stress anymore. Quino Solutions’ MileTracer tracks your mileage automatically; you buy the MileTracer you buy into efficiency. According to eHow.com there are 25 steps to tracking your mileage manually:
Step 1: Get a notebook and a pen with a pocket clip. Clip pen to notebook.
Step 2: Designate a readily accessible spot in your vehicle for the notebook and pen.
Step 3: Write in the notebook the odometer reading of your vehicle every January 1 ‘ or the odometer reading on the date you begin using the vehicle for business.
Step 4: Label a file folder, “Vehicle Expenses,” and write on the folder the current year.
Step 5: Designate a handy place to keep the file folder. The glove compartment is a possible location.
Step 1: Write down the date, the number of miles driven and the business purpose for each business errand or trip, in one section of notebook.
Step 2: Continue to add each trip to the list.
… And the steps go on and on and on
How does that compare to Quino Solutions MileTracer? It takes only 4 steps to track your mileage with Quino Solutions’ MileTracer.
Step 1: Leave device in vehicle
Step 2: Plug device into PC via USB
Step 3: Filter your information
Step 4: Export to excel and add any other vehicle expenses
It is 6 times more efficient to track your mileage with the MileTracer then it is to use a pen and paper. How about that for efficiency?
