Why logbooks haven't worked so far.
Tradespeople have bigger problems than paperwork. That's exactly why most fail at keeping a logbook.
Too many short trips to track
3 to 8 job sites a day — writing down every single trip? Nobody does that. And filling it in from memory at night doesn't count with the tax office.
Dirty hands, no time for paperwork
On the job site, craft matters — not bookkeeping. A paper logbook in the glove box gets postponed, forgotten, and ends up incomplete.
The 1% rule: convenient but costly
The van is used almost exclusively for work — yet many tradespeople pay the flat rate because keeping a logbook seems too tedious. That often costs thousands per year.
How Xevono works.
Three steps — from starting your engine to a finished export for the tax office.
Drive — Xevono tracks automatically
GPS tracking in the background as soon as you start driving. Controllable via Apple CarPlay right from the dashboard. The app detects missing odometer readings and warns proactively.
Categorize the trip
Personal or business — one tap. Add the job site, client or supplier as the destination. Takes three seconds.
Export to your tax advisor
PDF or GDPdU export directly from the app. Send it by email to your accountant — done. No retyping, no loose papers.
Why Xevono beats paper.
A digital logbook that actually works in a tradesperson's daily routine.
Automatic GPS recording
No manual input, no gaps — even with 8 job sites a day. The app runs in the background and documents every trip.
Apple CarPlay
Start and stop trips directly from the car display. Hands stay on the wheel — not on the phone.
GoBD-compliant documentation
SHA-256 checksums, complete audit trail, immutable archiving in Switzerland. Supports the requirements of GoBD.
Replace the 1% rule
If your company vehicle is mainly used for work and you keep a proper logbook, you can often save thousands per year.
