Vehicle logbook trips to and from work / home

My biggest problem is with a vehicle log book. Does the Vehicle App explain to you what mileage you are allowed to calculate: e.g. if you work from home and not an office, do you calculate your business trips from home to client?

The app allows you to setup various locations, home being one of them, followed by various other locations. These locations you can assign as business or not during setup. Then as you log trips between locations the app will automatically count up all the home -> business location trips as per what SARS allows, then present this to you as private vs business kilometers, as well as private vs business fuel spend and maintenance.

Our CTO designed the app for his own purposes when he was a freelancer working from home, but commuting to various business locations, so it definitely covers your needs.
