Mileage fraud is a common issue that affects both employers and employees. It can occur in many ways, such as employees exaggerating the number of miles they traveled for work purposes, or claiming mileage for personal trips. This can lead to inaccurate reimbursement claims, which can cause financial loss for the employer, and in some cases, even legal consequences.

One way to minimize the risk of mileage fraud is by using GPS-based mileage tracking, which is a feature offered by Psngr. In this blog post, we will explore how GPS-based mileage tracking works and how it can help minimize the risk of mileage fraud.

What is GPS-Based Mileage Tracking?

GPS-based mileage tracking is a feature offered by Psngr that uses GPS technology to automatically track the distance traveled by a vehicle. It works by using the GPS technology built into a smartphone or tablet to track the vehicle's movements. When the user starts driving, the app automatically logs the entire ride. When the user stops driving, the app ends the ride.

The app then calculates several metrics for the ride, including the total distance traveled and the associated expenses. This information is stored in the app and can be exported to a report for reimbursement purposes.

GPS-based mileage tracking has several benefits over manual mileage tracking. First, it eliminates the need for manual record-keeping, which can be time-consuming and error-prone. Second, it provides accurate and verifiable data, which can help minimize the risk of fraud. Finally, it provides a complete picture of the employee's travel expenses, which can be helpful in budgeting and planning.

How GPS-Based Mileage Tracking Can Help Minimize the Risk of Mileage Fraud

GPS-based mileage tracking can help minimize the risk of mileage fraud in several ways. First, it eliminates the need for manual record-keeping, which can be subject to errors and manipulation. With GPS-based tracking, the app automatically records the distance traveled, so there is no opportunity for the employee to exaggerate the distance traveled.

Second, GPS-based mileage tracking provides accurate and verifiable data, which can help minimize the risk of fraud. Since the app uses GPS technology to track the distance traveled, the data is accurate and cannot be manipulated. This provides a complete and verifiable record of the employee's travel expenses, which can be helpful in verifying the accuracy of the reimbursement claim.

Finally, GPS-based mileage tracking provides a complete picture of the employee's travel expenses. This includes not just the distance traveled, but also associated expenses such as fuel, parking, and tolls. This can be helpful in identifying any discrepancies or unusual patterns in the employee's travel expenses, which can be a red flag for fraud.
