Mileage logbook, receipt scanner, and BAS reporting — all in one app
The ATO expects you to keep accurate records of business kilometres and expenses. Most tradies and field workers know this — but doing it consistently is another story. DayRoute records your trips with GPS, scans your receipts with AI, and generates BAS-ready expense summaries. No more shoeboxes of receipts at tax time.
Why tax time is painful for field workers
The ATO requires business vehicle logs and expense records. Without a system, you either estimate (and risk an audit) or spend hours reconstructing records from memory.
- Forgetting to record trips and guessing at BAS time
- Receipts fading, getting lost, or piling up in the glovebox
- Not knowing which trips were business vs. personal
- Spending hours manually entering expenses into spreadsheets
- Missing legitimate deductions because you lost the receipt
How DayRoute simplifies logbook and expenses
Start a trip and DayRoute logs the kilometres via GPS. Snap a receipt and the AI extracts the details. At BAS time, export a clean summary.
Start a trip with one tap
Tap 'Start Trip' and DayRoute records your start location and odometer. GPS runs only while you're tracking — never in the background without permission.
Snap receipts as you go
Point your camera at a receipt. The AI (powered by Google Gemini) reads the merchant, date, items, GST, and total — no manual typing.
Categorise automatically
Expenses are auto-categorised (fuel, materials, tools, etc.) and tagged with GST amounts. Review and adjust if needed.
Export BAS-ready reports
When BAS quarter ends, export an income vs. expense summary with GST totals. Hand it to your accountant or lodge it yourself.

Frequently asked questions
Is the logbook ATO-compliant?
DayRoute records start/end locations, odometer readings, distance, and purpose (business or personal) for each trip — the key fields the ATO requires for a vehicle logbook.
Does the receipt scanner work with faded or crumpled receipts?
The AI scanner handles most receipt conditions well. For very damaged receipts, you can manually enter the details. The photo is still stored as proof.
Can I export expense data for my accountant?
Yes. DayRoute generates quarterly and annual summaries with income, expenses, and GST totals. You can share the report directly with your accountant.
Does GPS tracking drain my battery?
GPS runs only when you actively start a trip. It stops when you end the trip. DayRoute never tracks your location in the background without permission.
