TER Notes

TER Notes stands for Travel Expense Report notebook This is a simple tool making it easy to fill in your report after the trip. Working hours, car use and meal benifits. Your trip data can be exported thru mail to your office computer or whereever. If you have Polestar car, you can import the journey log from the car and it automatically syncs with your working hours. This started as a tool to fill my own needs, but it became so useful that I decided to polish it up and make it available to anyone.
