How to set up Trip classification/categorization.

Trip classification is the process of categorising vehicle journeys into specific purposes such as Business, Commute, Personal, or Unclassified, based on factors like time of day, day of the week, trip origin/destination, or company rules.

This helps organisations and drivers:

  • Separate work and personal use of vehicles.

  • Simplify expense reporting and reimbursements.

  • Support tax compliance where business vs. personal mileage must be tracked.

  • Improve reporting accuracy in fleet management platform.
