ProOnGo Blog

Recently we’ve had a lot of users come to us for our features related to Receipt tracking, that eventually ended up becoming hard core users of our mileage tracking features too.  We haven’t promoted our mileage tracking capabilities as much (we gave it a little mention here and will do more in the future).  There are some real gems in that part of the app for those of you that are required to track mileage for tax reasons or reimbursements.

The best place to start, depends on how you currently keep mileage records:

• Are you currently keeping track of odometer “start” and “stop” numbers, for each trip? If so, when you create a new mileage expense in ProOnGo, you’ll see our graphics that look a lot like an odometer, and you’ll be able to set your start/stop odometer by just tapping on that graphic.
• Are you currently keeping track of “starting address”, “ending address”, and “distance”? If so, you’ll love what we do with GPS — based on your latitude and longitude we’re able to guess what street address you are closest to, and we auto-fill your “start” and “end” addresses based on that.  You can click on the “Calculate Distance using Addresses” to then calculate how far you drove (or at least a great approximation).
• Are you currently tracking mileage by client, project, etc? If so, you’ll notice that our 4 customizable fields are available in mileage expenses, so that you can classify, categorize, and annotate to your heart’s content

Want to see all of the bells & whistles?  Check out the following screenshots put together by our engineering team, where you might just learn a thing or two about “tricks of the trade” for filing mileage expenses (you’ll have to click on the image to zoom in for full detail):

Here at ProOnGo, we’re continually developing our apps to make sure we deliver fast, effective apps for your business needs.

We really value your opinions and want to know what we’re doing right and what we can do better.  The best insights have come from subscribers and a lot of our features and improvements have come from suggestions.  We can’t tell you enough how helpful this is.

We’d love to receive some comments and emails telling us about your experience with ProOnGo Expense.  So please send us your suggestions and we’ll keep up our end at giving you the easiest way to track your expenses.

Keep on Truckin' with ProOnGo

Some of you have commented on how open we are to your feedback, and we really do appreciate those of you that take the time to call or write with suggestions for how we can make ProOnGo Expense work better for your business. Some of the best parts of our day are when folks call our office in the middle of their expense report and say “here’s what I like about ProOnGo, and here’s what I’d like to see in the next version”.

For some reason, we’ve been getting calls recently from a lot of independent owners/operators of small trucking companies who like to use our mileage tracking features to keep tabs on how much they will be billing out for their month-to-date or quarter-to-date.

We’ve gotten more than a few suggestions, including that on our iPhone version the “total” at the top of the screen had been showing the total of all amounts, rather than just the period (week, month, year – whatever you configure). That’ll be fixed in our iPhone update that will show up around Friday this week.

So, for all of you out their using our mileage tracking features, keep the feedback coming by shooting us an email at support@ProOnGo.com or you can Tweet us on Twitter, and of course, keep on truckin’!
