Odomly VS Process Navigation

Odomly's answer

If you are in Australia and the logbook is the reason you are looking, Odomly is built for that case rather than adapted to it. Reports come out to ATO logbook and FBT standards, prices are quoted in Australian dollars including GST, and support is in Melbourne rather than a timezone away.

If you run vehicles rather than just drive one, the pricing model is the practical difference. Fleet plans are licensed per driver seat with unlimited vehicles, so a two-person crew sharing six utes pays for two seats. Most competitors charge per vehicle, which penalises exactly the operators who own the most equipment.

If you are starting as a sole trader, the free tier is permanent rather than a countdown - 20 trips and 20 manual expenses per calendar month on one vehicle, no credit card. There is no time-limited trial to forget to cancel, and the same account grows into the Fleet plans without a migration.

Where Odomly is not the answer: it is not a telematics or live GPS tracking platform, and it is not aimed at large fleets running hundreds of vehicles.

Odomly's answer

Three things, and they are all consequences of building for Australian tax rather than adapting an overseas product to it.

• Odometer readings are photo-verified against the vehicle. Most logbook apps take a number you type in. Odomly captures the reading at the vehicle, so the record holds up when someone asks to see the evidence rather than the spreadsheet.
• Fleet plans are priced per driver seat with unlimited vehicles. Per-vehicle pricing effectively charges an operator for owning equipment. A builder with pooled utes or a plant-sharing crew pays for the people who drive, not the machines that sit.
• Reports are generated to ATO logbook and FBT standards, and the deduction rates are maintained as configuration inside the platform rather than hardcoded, so they stay current when the ATO changes them.

The individual and fleet products are the same platform underneath, so a sole trader who grows into a small fleet does not change systems or re-enter history.

Odomly's answer

Two groups, served by the same platform.

Individuals who need an ATO-compliant logbook. Sole traders, tradies, rideshare and delivery drivers, real estate and sales reps, and employees claiming car expenses at tax time. The common thread is that keeping the logbook is a chore they will otherwise skip, and skipping it costs them a deduction.

Small-to-mid fleet operators, roughly 2 to 50 vehicles. Trades and construction, delivery and courier, transport, and field service businesses. Usually there is no dedicated fleet manager - it is an owner, an office manager or a bookkeeper who inherited the job, and they need vehicles, drivers, approvals, costs and FBT exposure visible in one place without a telematics rollout.

Geographically the audience is Australian, because the compliance model, the reporting standards and the GST-inclusive pricing are all built to Australian rules.
