The problem
A claim form says 74 km. The road says 38.2.
A written number can’t show the shops, the stops or why the route changed. A recorded day can.

Managers send tasks. Riders ride them.
Deliver samples, pick up orders, collect a payment. The task reaches the rider’s phone, and the trip to it is linked the moment it’s done.

The road goes quiet. The record doesn’t.
Without mobile data the phone keeps recording and sends the points later. Before punch in and after punch out, nothing is recorded.

A detour
When the ride bends away, Mr Rider asks why.
Each leg is compared with the road between its stops, the dotted line. Anything unusual is held for a person, with the rule and the arithmetic beside it.

Accept it or reject it. The rider sees why.
A flag is a question, not a verdict. Try the sample decision and watch the road take it.

Reviewed kilometres become a statement for each rider. Your company applies its own rate and pays its riders itself, outside Mr Rider.

Practical questions
Before you book a demo.
Does tracking continue after punch out?
No. Location is recorded only from punch in to punch out. When the rider punches out, recording stops, and a manager login never starts tracking.
What happens without mobile data?
The phone keeps recording on-duty GPS points and sends them when the connection returns, as long as it can still read its location. A stretch with no GPS points at all is held for review with a road-distance estimate, not filled in silently.
Who reviews a flagged journey?
A manager chosen by your company. They see the recorded route, the reason it was held and the arithmetic behind it, then accept or reject the held distance. The rider sees the same reason and the decision.
Can each company set its own rate?
Yes. Your company sets its own rate per kilometre and its own travel rules. Mr Rider sets no rate and suggests none.
Does Mr Rider pay riders?
No. Mr Rider prepares the travel records and monthly statements. Your company pays its riders itself, outside Mr Rider. Salaries never enter Mr Rider.
How does team-size subscription pricing work?
Your company pays a subscription per rider per month, priced by team size. Amounts are still being finalised, so talk to us for a quote that fits your team.
