How VanLog Works

From signup to knowing your job profit — in three simple steps.

01

Pick your country and trade

VanLog sets your currency, tax rate, and mileage rate automatically. Takes 60 seconds — no setup manual needed.

02

Add a job

Client name, address, and what you quoted. That's it — your job is live and ready to track.

03

Log materials as you buy them

Add what you need from your phone on site, mark it ordered when you buy it, received when it arrives. VanLog shows your live spend against budget — so you know if you're making money before the job ends, not after.
