How to Track Business Kilometres Accurately Without Daily Admin Headaches

Understanding the difference between GPS distance, odometer readings, and business vs commute travel keeps your vehicle records clean all year.

1. Business Travel vs Private & Commute Trips

Travel between client job sites, from a supplier to a job site, or during an active delivery shift is generally business travel. Ordinary commuting between home and a regular fixed workplace is private travel.

Always record a clear business purpose (e.g., "Client job at Parramatta" or "Supplier pickup + Henderson site").
Review auto-detected trips before marking them as Business.
Capture opening and closing odometer readings so total vehicle distance is verified.

2. Why GPS + Odometer Comparison Matters

GPS tracking is convenient for individual trips, while odometer readings prove the vehicle’s total travel across the period. PROFONZ tracks both and flags material mismatches for review.
