ABUKAI™ Announces Industry Breakthrough for Mileage Tracking with ABUKAI Expenses™

Feb. 8, 2011 - PRLog -- ABUKAI, Inc., the innovative leader in providing ACTIONABLE BUSINESS PRODUCTIVITY™, today announced that it has added yet another innovative capability to its ABUKAI Expenses service.  Subscribers of ABUKAI Expenses’ can now enter mileage information into their expense reports by simply using their smartphones to take a picture of a note or travel sheet that includes basic mileage information for a business trip.  If your business trip begins in San Francisco, California and you drive 47 miles to a location in San Jose, California, all you need is to have an itinerary print-out containing that information or write the information on a piece of paper as follows:

February 8, 2011
From San Francisco, CA
47 miles

With ABUKAI Expenses, when you take a picture of this note with your smartphone this information is automatically entered into your expense report with mileage expense calculated using a standard mileage allowance rate, or for custom enterprise deployments of ABUKAI Expenses, any rate established by your company.  

“A primary characteristic differentiating ABUKAI Expenses from all other expense report offerings is that there is no requirement to “key” information into mobile devices or computers to complete expense reports,” said Philipp Schloter, president and chief executive officer of ABUKAI.  “We specifically build solutions to provide both the simplest interface possible and a process that makes sense from the user’s perspective.  In doing so, we maximize usability which translates into optimized efficiency and reduced error.”

Schloter continued, “This simple method for ABUKAI Expenses users to capture mileage information increases the likelihood for mobile workers to report mileage expenses on a timely basis while still on the road. It also blends nicely with the process ABUKAI Expenses users employ to track their other expenses where they need only to take pictures of receipts to have expenses entered into their expense reports.”

ABUKAI Expenses eliminates time-consuming activity associated with creating expense reports.  It uses a simple two-step process.  Using iPhone, Android or BlackBerry mobile devices, users take pictures of receipts while on the road or in their offices.  Once the expenses to be included in the report are accumulated, users need only press “Submit” on their application.  With the addition of this new mileage capability, mileage expense is handled in the same easy manner.
