Multi-stop trips are common for salespeople, technicians, and consultants. Correctly documenting each leg is essential for proper reimbursement and efficient management.

Quilometragem allows recording trips with multiple legs, automatically calculating total distance.[^rfb-substantiation] Each stop is documented with specific address, creating a complete route record.

To optimize costs, plan routes considering the most efficient visit order. Route optimization tools can significantly reduce total mileage, saving time and money.

Document the purpose of each stop: client visited, meeting held, or delivery made. This information is crucial for reimbursement approval and future audits.

At the end of the day, you'll have a detailed receipt showing origin, all intermediate stops, final destination, and total mileage, all accurately calculated automatically.

## Frequently asked questions

### How to log a trip with multiple stops?

Log each stop as an independent leg within the same day, with origin, destination and specific purpose for every segment.

### Does the app automatically calculate the optimized route?

Yes, the routing engine suggests the shortest sequence when given the list of stops, and the user can accept or adjust manually.

### Can I split the trip cost across multiple clients?
