Question

Can I use geofencing to track employee's arrival time and also mileage tracking to track how far employees drive to work? I would rather not add more apps to track mile

It seems like geofencing only lets people clock in once they arrive. It also seems like in order to track commute distance, employees must clock in. Is there a way to do both?

QuickBooks provides tools for geofencing and mileage tracking, but they work separately and don’t automatically combine, Davis.

 

Automatic mileage tracking is available in the QuickBooks Online mobile app, while geofencing is available with QuickBooks Time. Since you want both features in a single app, I recommend sharing your thoughts with our software engineers. They carefully examine customer feedback, especially when determining how to improve QuickBooks.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Sign in to your QuickBooks Online account.
  2. Go to the Gear icon located at the top right part of the page and select Feedback.
  3. Type in your suggestion and click Next.
