What is the best route planner app for tradies in Australia?

Does DayRoute work with Google Maps?

Can DayRoute track vehicle mileage for tax purposes?

Yes, DayRoute includes a GPS vehicle logbook feature that records trips for ATO tax purposes. It tracks kilometers driven, distinguishes between business and personal trips, and creates ATO-compliant records. GPS tracking only runs when you actively start a trip.

Why desktop accounting software doesn't work in the field

Traditional accounting software is powerful — but it's built for people who sit at a desk. If you spend your day in a van visiting job sites, you need something that works from your phone, in the field, with dirty hands. DayRoute is a mobile-first workflow app that handles the parts of your workday that accounting platforms weren't designed for: route planning, job scheduling, receipt scanning, and on-site invoicing.

Why desktop accounting tools don't fit field service work

Accounting software is designed for bookkeepers and office-based businesses. Field workers need tools that work at the job site, not behind a computer screen.

Creating invoices on a phone through accounting apps is clunky and slow
No route planning or job scheduling — you need separate apps for that
Receipt entry requires manual typing or desktop scanning
No vehicle logbook or GPS trip tracking built in
Full accounting suites are overkill for solo operators who just need to invoice, track expenses, and plan routes

What DayRoute does differently

DayRoute isn't a replacement for your accountant's tools. It's a mobile companion that handles the fieldwork side — then your accountant can use whatever platform they prefer for the rest.

Plan your day and routes

Schedule jobs, optimise your route, and see ETAs — something accounting apps simply don't do.

Invoice on the spot

Create and send invoices from your phone in under 30 seconds. No laptop required.

Scan receipts with AI

Point your camera at a receipt. The AI extracts merchant, items, GST, and total instantly — no manual data entry.

Export for your accountant

At BAS time, export your income, expenses, and GST summaries. Your accountant can import the data into whatever accounting platform they use.

Who uses this

Create NDIS-formatted invoices on your phone. Share summaries with your plan manager or bookkeeper.

Frequently asked questions

Does DayRoute replace my accounting software?

No. DayRoute is a mobile field-service tool — not a full accounting platform. It handles the parts of your day that accounting software isn't designed for: route planning, job scheduling, on-site invoicing, and receipt scanning. Your accountant can continue using whatever accounting platform they prefer for bookkeeping and lodgement.

Can my accountant use DayRoute's data?

Yes. DayRoute generates income, expense, and GST summaries that your accountant can use for BAS lodgement and end-of-year tax. You can share these reports directly — they import into any accounting platform.

How is DayRoute different from accounting software?

Accounting software focuses on bookkeeping, tax, and compliance. DayRoute focuses on the fieldwork side: planning routes, managing jobs, invoicing on the spot, and scanning receipts. They complement each other — DayRoute handles the work, your accountant handles the books.

How much does DayRoute cost?

DayRoute Pro starts at $19 AUD/month with a 7-day free trial. It covers route planning, job scheduling, invoicing, receipt scanning, and vehicle logbook — all the tools a field worker needs in one app.
