BP launches mileage capture service

Date: 27 February 2015   |   Author: Daniel Puddicombe

BP has launched a mileage capture service, which is available to BP fuel card customers, as part of its plan to advance its fuel card offering.
 
The system uses GPS technology as part of a 3G enabled USB dongle. BP claimed it can track every journey with start and finish points accurate to within a few metres due to the elimination of satellite latency.
 
The system is powered by MileageCount from The Fuel Card People. Drivers need to plug the GPS dongle into a car or van cigarette lighter or USB socket. At the end of the journey, the dongle is removed and plugged into the USB port of a PC, laptop or network terminal.
 
A journey list is automatically generated giving information into each journey captured. The interface then lets the driver go through each trip to identify if it is a business or personal journey.
 
BP said the system learns frequent journeys, which it said can reduce the time it takes to make submissions. Once all the details have been downloaded fleet managers can verify or query any journey.
 
"We have introduced a mileage capture solution to our customers which saves hours of both drivers' and managers' time by reducing the need to manually complete and check journey records. Delivery of the new private mileage capture offer is part of our ongoing efforts to simplify life for our fuel card customers," said BP fuel cards marketing manager, James Fields-Davis.
