Holton and Associates (H&A)  announced today that it now can offer mobiletripsheet from Mobile Gateway Solutions Holdings to extend its array of products offered in computer retail stores like Incredible Connection.

Sally Strugnell, sales director at H&A: “mobiletripsheet is an electronic trip recoding system on your cellphone. Your cellular phone becomes the device for recording all your business mileage. No more paper-based hassles – where’s the logbook, where’s the pen, etc.”

SARS continues to tighten up the rules regarding the claiming of business expenses.  In response, mobiletripsheet automates the recording process and enables the user to produce the detailed reports that SARS requires in order to claim back from SARS against the travel allowance. 

From the 2010/2011 tax year, further controls will be implemented.  The net result will be that it is going to become even more onerous and difficult for travel-allowance taxpayers to claim what is rightfully theirs. 

“mobiletripsheet is the answer.  When you get into your car, you will have three things with you – your car-keys, your wallet (or handbag – that’s where your driver’s licence is) and your mobile phone.  That’s all you need to get your bucks back from SARS.”

John Ramsey, marketing director at Mobile Gateway: “The numbers are simple:

·         World population: six billion

·         Internet users: about 1.2 billion

·          3.5 billion cellular phones.  The cellular phone has become a data terminal as well as an information retrieval platform.  Oh, and you can also use it as a telephone. 

While desktop-based business applications still have their place in the economy, as workers become more mobile there will be an increasing need for mobile applications.  mobiletripsheet is just one of a portfolio of mobile products that we have launched in South Africa and abroad.  These include mobilesales, mobilejobcard, mobileagent, pulse8 and mobilemessenger.  All are monthly subscription-based services with the exception of mobilemessenger and pulse8 which are free-to-use IM (instant messaging) and always-on email on your phone products.”
