Quick answer
Fleet tracking (Samsara, Geotab, Verizon Connect) optimizes vehicles — fuel, maintenance, dashcams, ELD compliance. Employee GPS tracking via mobile shift sessions optimizes people — visit proof, attendance, personal-vehicle mileage reimbursement, and expense correlation. Field sales, auditors, and service technicians often drive personal or mixed fleets — they need person-centric tracking.
Decision matrix
Why mobile-first wins for reimbursement
IRS and global tax authorities require contemporaneous records of business miles. Vehicle telematics may not attribute trips to individual employees or link to expense claims. Mobile shift sessions create per-employee audit trails accounts teams can defend.
