Administrator Introduction to TripLog

Updated over 3 months ago

NOTICE: These instructions and features are specific to TripLog Enterprise plan administrators.

Creating a New Account

We do offer the ability to self-service and set up an account using our free Trial but we strongly recommend connecting with a member of our sales team for a demo of the features and benefits of TripLog.

To start utilizing your company account, it's important to first register online. If you haven't already, go to www.triplogmileage.com and click "Register" at the top. Click the Register New Account Button to Jump to that option.

Fill out the information requested on the registration page. If you are given a referral code, you can use that here by selecting the checkbox next to the "I have a referral code" then enter it.

Here is an example of the additional screens for setting up an Enterprise account.

Feel free to request a demo after completing the setup to get further acquainted with the features of TripLog.

Dashboard

When first accessing your account you will open the Dashboard Overview Page. Here you will see widgets and general info about your account. We have many tools available including Performance Charts and Trends premade for understanding your company usage.
