Mileage tracking by plan
N78-Ops logs business mileage only in-app. Equipment, supplies, fuel receipts, and other costs belong in your accounting software.
Basic — no mileage
The Basic (free) plan does not include mileage. The Mileage tile on Home shows as a locked Pro preview; Settings → Tax & pricing has no mileage rate card.
Pro — two manual ways
On Pro, you always have both manual options:
• Type miles — open Mileage from Home → Add mileage (miles × your mileage rate under Settings → Finance).
• Manual GPS — tap Mileage OFF (green) / Mileage ON (red) on the dashboard lower-right when you start and stop a drive. GPS uses a battery-friendly foreground mode only while tracking is on.
For GPS trips, N78-Ops compares trip date/time against approved jobs on your Schedule (± schedule buffer minutes in Settings → Finance) to suggest business vs personal before miles post.
Premier — adds fully automatic mileage
Premier keeps every Pro option (typed miles and manual GPS) and adds hands-off tracking:
• Pair your work vehicle Bluetooth under Settings → Finance → Start tracking → Automatic (vehicle Bluetooth).
• When that vehicle connects, N78-Ops checks Schedule and date/time first—GPS starts only for work-related drives (personal trips skip GPS to save battery). Tracking stops when the vehicle disconnects.
• Business miles from automatic trips can commit to Mileage when the drive ends.
While GPS is actively tracking (Pro manual or Premier automatic)
• Red status bar — the system status bar turns red on every screen while GPS is running so you always know location is active (GPS uses more battery).
• Driving vs walking — the tracker is smart about motion: it distinguishes driving from walking, so pacing around a job site does not inflate drive miles the way road travel does.
• Stopped timeout — if the vehicle stays stationary longer than Stopped timeout (minutes) in Settings → Finance (default 10), GPS auto-stops to limit battery drain when you forget to tap Mileage OFF.
Settings (Pro and Premier)
• Mileage rate — reimbursement per mile (IRS default or custom).
• Start tracking — Manual (dashboard button) on Pro and Premier; Automatic (vehicle Bluetooth) adds on Premier.
• Schedule buffer (minutes) — window before/after a scheduled job for business-trip classification.
• Stopped timeout (minutes) — stationary auto-stop for manual GPS (default 10).
Privacy
Trip distance stays on the device; Nivo78 does not receive live GPS. See How your data is protected and the in-app privacy policy for location and Bluetooth disclosure.
