Odotrack & Videotron Business : a success story that stays the course
Odotrack: 3 competitive advantages
Odotrack was launched in 2008 to protect and maximize the tax benefits associated with business travel, and to simplify tax returns for self-employed individuals and businesses. The rule is simple: if you use a motor vehicle for business purposes, you must keep a record of your movements. "Our product is a must for this type of clientele, especially since the launch of our partner offers with Videotron Business."
So how does the service work? Movement data is transmitted in real time to the company's secure servers. The movements are geolocated and captured by GPS. The system automatically switches on when a user starts driving. Easy! There are only three simple steps to using the service.
First, plug in your device the first time you use it and never worry about it again. Next, drive with complete peace of mind: Odotrack watches over you, recording each of your trips. Just be sure to indicate the nature—business or personal—of each trip you take! Finally, all you have to do is consult, confirm, or specify your data to obtain management reports and reports for tax purposes that are consistent and useful for decision-making.
The different packages offered by Odotrack will save users energy, money, and time. "This is the ideal accounting and tax solution for those in business." The subscription to the service is 100% tax deductible if it is used for professional purposes. Here are some of the main features most appreciated by subscribers.
1- Accurately generate your mileage record
Odotrack manages your logbook by compiling and organizing the details of your movements. As such, you have easy access to a wide range of mandatory information (and even more!) in your mileage logbook.
The date of the trip, the address of departure and arrival, the number of kilometres travelled, the reason for the trip, the odometer at the beginning and end of the period, the duration of each trip and stopping times (if desired): nothing is forgotten!
Protect yourself from a potential tax audit by having supporting documents that comply with government requirements. Also, optimize your tax deductions by avoiding errors caused by manual collection or the use of a third-party method that is not specialized in mileage logging for tax purposes.
2- Produce management reports and tax forms
The tool allows you to enter, save, and export your data to a spreadsheet to build the desired reports. The electronic transfer of data to various tax software is also an option. It also facilitates the management of expenditure allocations. Save photos of your various invoices and consult statistical reports to visualize trends and improve the management of your business.
3- Facilitate the management of your fleet of vehicles
Companies that have a fleet have the possibility to display the positioning of all their vehicles connected by geolocation. They can therefore see the movements of their drivers in real time. A feature that makes it easier to supervise your employees' activities and see improvements in their driving habits.
Finally, Odotrack also allows you to plan the optimal maintenance of each vehicle. You can configure periodic mechanical maintenance according to a predetermined time cycle or according to the distance travelled. A reminder that your organization can enjoy several benefits by adopting connected transport!

"What we now propose is the exceptional combination of the strengths of each of our organizations as a whole: Videotron Business' reputation and its wide range of business services, with Odotrack's know-how in a niche market," explains Martin. The two organizations shared a common need in their quest for growth: the search for the ideal complement to follow their respective strategies.
