Salesperson Fuel Reimbursement Made Easy with Lystloc

Being an HR of an organization with an enormous amount of employees, it is quite tedious to provide an employee-friendly environment in the workplace. Especially in a company with a large amount of sales employees, HR should be the person of authority in satisfying their necessities.


Taking a toll on sales employees’ productivity creates a massive downfall in the organization’s overall productivity as they remain to be the selling face of the organization. And it is equally important that the manager should take the responsibility to make their team bigger and better.


Working as a salesperson, it’s a powerful role that they possess in selling their service out of the office premises with the intent to drive their business towards the revenue path. So, it’s their responsibility to travel to a customer’s place to make sure that the product meets customers’ expectations.


Since they travel a lot, it is important to keep a track of their fuel expenses to reimburse their share back to them.


As per the first-ever Employee Benefits study in India, 72% of employees prefer to opt for fuel allowances. This clearly shows the importance of reimbursing the employees’ fuel allowances and the relevance of offering it to them.


How to maintain the record of fuel expenses?


Keeping a good record of fuel expenses helps both the organization and employees to save a huge amount of money. Because we all know that the fuel prices are transitory and taking a lethargic action on it results in an unhealthy movement in revenue graphs.


Manual methods of maintaining fuel records include retaining credit or debit card receipts and keeping a log of fuel receipts or the management also reimburses their employees based on the distance traveled by them in a fixed fuel tariff per km. 


It’s quite exhausting to make sure that all the records are being maintained and this results in a huge loss of productivity since it’s time-consuming.


The only effective solution to overcome this challenge is to digitalize the entire process by maintaining a track record of the employees’ movement of their fieldwork.
