MECARS

MECARS – Mileage Expense Capture and Reporting Service – a versatile Enterprise Solution powered by a Smartphone App that automates expense management reporting for your mobile workforce. MECARS streamlines workflows, improves accuracy, and boosts productivity across key field and staff functions.

The MECARS application can separate out business trips, rental car trips and personal trips that are made during travels so as to identify the reimbursable trips from the non-reimbursable ones. The details of the reimbursable trips like the mileage travelled along with expenses incurred along the way can be logged easily so as to reimburse the traveler for the expenses incurred during the business trips.
