After having spent 100's of hours toiling away on iOS Apps for clients we are now starting work on a series of apps under our own brand.
The first app will be a Vehicle Logging app, although there are a number of these in the App Store we feel that we can make a worthwhile contribution in this space.
Watch this space as the app takes shape and see our process in action.
The first pass of our 1.0 feature list is as follows
- Logging of trips, fuel, services, expenses
- Use GPS for trip start/end (Save location with a bookmarked name, find bookmarks that match current location)
- Save frequently used start/dest pairs for fast entry
- Optionally add a return trip automatically
- Tracking vehicle fuel efficiency
- Optionally track fuel type
- Optionally track average trip lengths
- Maintain a record of services
- User may enter a service schedule or pick a default
- Remind user when a service is nearly due and once the time/distance has passed
- Generate reports for expenses claims (Reimbursement for trips given a per km rate, expenses etc)
- Reports in csv, xml, html, pdf
- Allow customer configured templates
- Reports can be emailed, printed, sent to Dropbox
- Data sync to Dropbox or iCloud
- Local notifications for service reminders
Next step will be to start sketching UI concepts
