TomTom has launched a new app aimed to make it easier for drivers to keep an accurate log of their trips using their smartphone.

The new WebFleet Logbook app works in combination with the in-vehicle TomTom’s Link tracking device which reports the trip information. Company trip records are updated in TomTom’s WebFleet fleet management system.

“By working in conjunction with the in-vehicle LINK tracking device, the WEBFLEET Logbook app minimizes driver involvement, maximising accuracy and reliability to mark a significant advancement from existing GPS smartphone apps.” said Thomas Schmidt, managing director, TomTom Business Solutions.

“Simplified and automated processes for companies and their drivers frees up valuable time for improved productivity.”

The WebFleet Logbook app enables additional information to be added by the driver, including the specific purpose of the journey and customer contact details. The app also learns from previous driver journeys, automatically suggesting trip information for faster and easier logbook handling.
