Drive time (miles for miles )

I have a great overall experience . It is great I use to use another app and it wasn’t as great but this app is amazing

Pros

The motus app is amazing to use . You have many options to accommodate your needs . I use the smart track so it sense when I’m driving and starts recording . And you can set the day that you usually work and hours and have it set to records during those times. It’s the best driving app that I have used .

Cons

Sometimes the app doesn’t start when you start driving or it’s a little off by 5-10 miles. Also sometimes when you drive to the same location it gives you two different miles even though it’s the same distance every time .

We have saved on some spend for mileage while increasing employees net pay. We were able to take the savings and invest it in other employee benefits across the whole company. Overall it was such a positive move, I don’t know why we didn’t do it sooner.

Pros

The software interface is very simple and designed to optimize the user experience. The admin portal gives the greater amount of info and is more complex, but that is necessary. This was one of my favorite roll outs I’ve ever done because the process was so easy and painless. As a company, our employees netted more money than our old program, and we paid less. It was a great win/win scenario and my only regret is not doing it sooner.

Cons

The mileage tracking app is not perfect. It is something that we have seen improvements on, but tied to OS issues, the difference between Android and iOS users is pretty big. Many employees have struggled with reduced battery life when auto tracking miles, but also there has been a lot of employees uncomfortable with tracking apps in general. Motus does not make it easy to track and input mileage a different way than the app.

Terrible

none

Pros

Nothing to like at all about motus. Poor function, frustrating.

Cons

Mandatory to keep it tracking on "Always"... Messages from phone that Motus has tracked me 76 times in past 2 days, 3 days, etc. while I am not working, and the app is not on. Drains battery. OR you must go into the settings for the app when finished with your day and turn off tracking. If you select allow tracking "while using" the app, and you navigate away from it to view a map...it stops tracking. overall a horrible system.

Motus makes it easy to manage mileage reimbursement

Motus has lowered our mileage reimbursement expenses by almost $200 a month by allowing us to subtract the employee's daily commute from their business mileage. Multiply that by 20 or so business days each month, and it significantly lowers the amount of mileage that needs to be reimbursed.

Pros

Motus puts an app in the hands of an employee driver allowing the company to capture trip details including date and time each time a driver makes a stop. It lowered our vehicle expenses because it took away the guesswork, and the trips are validated by GPS.

Cons

It is not able to do a standard distance daily commute like my previous mileage administrator did. My previous administrator was bought and merged with Motus, and most of their checks and balances can be manipulated by a motivated driver.

Motus for a part time independent contractor

Motus has taken my mind off worrying about if my time and mileage are entered correctly. I would highly recommend it.

Pros

I love this software. I can keep track of my mileage and time by just having my phone with me. It uses the GPS and is able to connect with bluetooth. I have had other mileage tracking software before , but this is by far the easiest.

Cons

The only thing I don't like is that it tends to be hard on the battery. But s long as I am in the car it and I keep it plugged in, it's fine.
