22,000 Contractor Miles a Year, Logged Automatically.
A busy general contractor can drive 22,000 business miles a year between job sites, supply runs, and estimates — about $15,950 in estimated deductions at the 2026 IRS rate. FSM Navigator logs every one automatically, right inside the field service software your business already runs on.

Estimates based on the 2026 IRS business standard rate of $0.725/mile. Your actual deduction depends on your logged business miles.
The miles your crews drive don't track themselves
Multiple job sites at once
A morning at one active job site, a supply run to the lumberyard, then across town to coordinate a subcontractor — a single contractor day is dozens of deductible miles nobody writes down.
Reconstructed logs don't hold up
A mileage log pieced together in April is exactly what the IRS questions. Contemporaneous, GPS-based records are the kind your accountant actually wants on file.
A second app to babysit
Standalone mileage apps mean another login and another bill — and miles that live nowhere near the contractor jobs and customers they belong to.
What if every dispatch logged its own miles — right alongside the job?

Mileage tracking built for contractors
Every job site captured
Tracking starts when a crew lead marks a job site or estimate walkthrough En Route and ends on Arrived. Every dispatch becomes a logged mile — no buttons, no forgetting.
Tied to the job & customer
Because the drive belongs to a dispatch, every mile is linked to the contractor job it served and the customer behind it — data a standalone tracker simply can't see.
IRS-ready records + year-end CSV
Date, business purpose, and miles for every trip — contemporaneous, GPS-based records you can export as a CSV when it's time to file.
Classify in a single tap
In the trip log, mark any drive business, commute, or personal with one tap. Fix a trip's type in seconds — that lumberyard run stays a deduction.
Your work truck, tagged
Each crew member picks their vehicle type once — car, van, truck, box truck, motorcycle, or bicycle — and every trip is tagged to it.
Offline-first
Captures miles in basements, new-construction sites, and remote rural job sites. Trips sync the moment your crew is back online.
From dispatch to deduction in three steps
Mark En Route
Your crew lead taps En Route when they head out to the job site. FSM Navigator starts logging the drive automatically — nothing to remember.
Arrive
Marking the job Arrived closes the trip. The miles are calculated on-device and linked to the job and its customer as a contemporaneous record.
Export your year-end records
At tax time, export a complete CSV — every trip, every vehicle, every crew member — to hand straight to your accountant.
Every drive to a contractor job, captured and ready for tax time — without a single manual entry.
