Runzheimer International has announced the availability of the first and only end-to-end wireless platform available that records mileage data using GPS technology, and processes it through for reimbursement approval.

The Runzheimer Mileage Capture Wireless Service uses GPS technology to more precisely track business mileage, enabling companies to reduce overall mileage expenses. Customer usage of this application on a similar plug-in device has proven to reduce mileage expenses by an average of 10 to 15 percent annually.

It was built specifically for corporate use, meets IRS audit requirements and offers the flexibility of being device and carrier agnostic.

The software also simplifies reporting for corporate business drivers by automatically uploading the trips into Runzheimer International's systems for processing. Drivers now have the ability to edit trips and define parameters for business vs. personal use prior to submission for reimbursement approval.

"By offering GPS-based mileage tracking software on a mobile platform, we offer greater accuracy that brings cost reduction opportunities and the convenience of end-to-end wireless tracking to reporting," said Greg Harper, president of Runzheimer International.

"Mobile technology presents tremendous opportunities for corporations to streamline processes and increase employee productivity."
