Zubie Introduces Trip Tagging -- A Less "Taxing" Way to Track Business MileageCHARLESTON, S.C. --(Business Wire)-- The mundane task of logging and separating business and personal car mileage just got a little less "taxing" with Zubie's powerful new Trip Tagging feature. Zubie, a connected car service provider focused on maximizing connected car capabilities for consumers and businesses, today announced its new product enhancement available through both the iTunes and Google (News - Alert) Play apps stores. Zubie uses a smart device to plug directly into the car's On-board Diagnostics (OBD) port, and capture and deliver valuable vehicle and driving data. The new Trip Tagging feature complements existing Zubie features including location tracking, driver behaviors/patterns, vehicle health and alerts, and more. Available for all Zubie customers, Trip Tagging enables users to easily and quickly access their trips within the app and "tag (News - Alert)" them as business, personal or some oher designation. Mileage is automatically calculated for every trip. Because Zubie caches all trips, users can go in and tag trips at their convenience -- on a daily or weekly basis, or any other frequency. Customers will receive an annual report summarizing their trip history with calculated mileage, complete with tax-filing friendly backup for deducting mileage. Additionally, Zubie automatically calculates the fuel costs associated with each trip using EPA data specific to each car type and the fuel costs in the region. "Our new Trip Tagging feature has clear and definitive benefits for both individuals and businesses," said Zubie CEO Tim Kelly. "Whether you're a sole proprietor whose car is a vital part of your business, or someone who has an occasional need to track mileage when using a personal car for work, it's a simple, pain-free way of tracking. Trip Tagging is one more way we are helping our customers maximize the rich data available from their cars." For more information about Zubie, visit Zubie.co.
