Companies can't remove reviews or game the system. Here's why

We use Motus for positions that drive more than 6,000 miles a year for company business and use their personal vehicles. Each user maintains their own mileage log. Motus reminds users to submit mileage once a month. It also has a flag not to provide reimbursement for mileage older than two months back. We do not use Motus to process the payment to the user, although it can do that independently. We added integration to our expense software, Concur, instead. That makes vehicle fixed, and variable mileage reimbursement tied directly to expense processing. The combination of the two leads to more timely submission of expense reports.
  • GPS Based Mileage Tracking
  • Automating Accounting Portion of Payment
  • Tax Compliance for a tax-free FAVR program
  • Hard to manually enter miles for users who don't want to use GPS
  • Very stringent on mileage submission deadline, once a month, or wait another month for users
  • App is great, web interface could be improved, especially for the users
I would recommend Motus to anyone processing a FAVR program currently. A tax-compliant system results in a saving for the company that can be passed along to the individual. The higher the effective tax rate for the individual, the greater opportunity for tax-loss savings. As a company, we made our policy more stringent but also increased employee gross pay while reducing employee cost.
  • Tax-Compliance
  • User level empowerment
  • Positive - ROI
  • Negative - "Big Brother" feeling on GPS mileage tracking
  • Positive - We decided to pass savings to employee for mutual gain on the new program
We did not use a FAVR compliant company in the past. Fixed monthly amounts were processed on payroll and taxed, variable mileage expense was processed on expense reports.

I have used mileage trackers for expenses in the past, but nothing compares to Motus. Motus makes it extremely easy to manage your mileage by automatically tracking your drive time for you. I am able to focus on my job and not spend hours putting in my mileage for the week. I absolutely love Motus.
  • Saves time by automatically tracking mileage for me.
  • Easily submit mileage at the end of the month.
  • Easy to edit mileage if needed.
  • Drains your phone battery.
I can speak from experience as a remote sales representative. Tracking mileage cuts into my time that could be spent on prospects and submitting more business.
  • More time spent prospecting.
  • Able to hit objectives much easier.
