Celcom announced today that it now can offer mobiletripsheet from Mobile Gateway Solutions Holdings to extend its array of products in the mobile cellular space.

Siegfried Roux, Sales Director Celcom: “mobiletripsheet is a vehicle log book on your cellphone.  Instead of a traditional paper-based logbook with all its problems, your cellular phone becomes the recording device for all your business mileage.  With SARS further tightening up the rules regarding the claiming of business expenses, 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.  And with further controls being implemented with effect from the 2010/2011 tax year, it’s going to become even more onerous and difficult for travel-allowance taxpayers to claim what is rightfully theirs.  mobiletripsheet is going to radically revise the tax landscape in South Africa by removing the pain from this process.”

John Ramsey, marketing director at Mobile Gateway: “ Here are the numbers.  There are over six billion people in the world, about 1.2 billion internet users and over 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.”
