Automatic logbook

Every trip recorded. No paper.

Cheka makes a logbook entry for each trip. It names the trip from your zones and tags it from your rules. You only check the trips that need a decision.

What each entry contains

A complete record for each trip.

  • Start and end time, duration and distance.
  • Start and end place, from your zones. For example Kleinvlei Farm → Paarl Packhouse.
  • Stops, with the place name and the time stopped.
  • Tags from your rules, for example delivery or field work.
  • Alerts, ride score and load state.
  • Work or personal.
Logbook for one truck. Trips are grouped by day with times, route names, duration, distance, ride score, load state and a work or personal toggle.

How trips get a name and a tag

Zones and tagging rules.

A zone is an area on the map, for example a farm, a packhouse or a depot. Each zone has a category. A tagging rule connects a movement between categories to a tag.

Rule typeExampleTag
Leave and enterleave farm → enter packhouse · trucksdelivery
Leave and enterleave packhouse → enter port · trucksexport_delivery
Enter onlyenter block · tractorsfield_work
Enter onlyenter workshop · all vehiclesservice
Leave onlyleave farm · bakkiesoff_farm

When more than one rule matches, the rule with the highest priority wins.

Review and correct

You stay in control of the record.

Work or personal

Mark a trip as work or personal. Personal trips go to a review list, where an admin approves or flags them.

Split and merge

Split a trip at an event, or merge it with the trip before or after. Use this when a stop was too short or too long.

Manual entries

Add an entry with a type, reason and notes, for example a breakdown or a fuel fill.

Edits are recorded

Each edit stores who made it and when. The raw tracker data does not change.

Export

Take the logbook with you.

Download trips and events as CSV for any date range. Use the file for your own reports, for invoices or for your tax logbook.

  • Trips with start, end, places, distance, duration and tags.
  • Events and alerts with time, place and value.
  • The trips list and the vehicle logbook use the same data, so the numbers always agree.
