When it comes to managing mobile employees and vehicles, the right data can make all the difference. One of the most powerful, yet often overlooked, tools in the ABAX reporting suite is the Tripstop report. Although it might not have the most exciting name, this report quickly becomes a favourite for customers once they discover its capabilities.

What is the Tripstop report?

The Tripstop report gives a business a clear, detailed picture of a vehicle's day:

  • Start time and start address

  • Stop time and start address

  • Distance and time travelled 

  • Time between trips 

With fleet information sliced in this way, you’ll get a job-by-job replay including how long was spent at each location. 

How the Tripstop report improves customer invoicing

If you invoice based on hours worked or by job, this report is a game-changer. It turns vehicle tracking for invoicing into a transparent, reliable process. You now have an easy-to-read record of time spent on-site that makes it perfect for:

  • Customer invoicing – Prove time on the job with accurate records.

  • Operational oversight – Identify delays, improvements, or missed opportunities.

  • Timesheet verification – Use the first and last trips of the day to verify your timesheets (so powerful it often replaces the existing timesheet tools for many customers!).

Automate your reporting

One major advantage of the Tripstop report is you can get it automatically emailed to you or your team each day, week or month. This flexibility ensures the data is always available when it’s needed most:

  • Daily for managers tracking shifts in real-time

  • Weekly for payroll and HR checks

  • Monthly for customer invoicing or client reporting

ABAX customer, Kent-based Parkes Utilities, uses Tripstop reporting as a key part of how they manage their vehicles and verify working hours. Project Manager Justin Cooper explains the impact ABAX has had on their day-to-day operations:

“One of the reasons that ABAX solutions were installed was to address the slight concern over misuse of vehicles and security. The tracking has allowed us to recover vehicles that may have gone missing in the past, as well as former employees claiming full day’s work when this hasn’t been the case. All our guys are now on time sheets, with the accurate ABAX software allowing us to cross reference any discrepancies if needed.”
