What’s keeping your people operations off the road?
PAIN POINT 1
Managing a dispersed workforce with shifting rosters
Freight and logistics businesses don’t run on a nine-to-five. Drivers, warehouse and DC staff and dispatch teams operate across multiple shifts, depots and locations. When systems don’t talk to each other, payroll errors, missed shifts and compliance gaps are inevitable.
✦ EMPLOYMENT HERO
One platform connects rostering, timesheets, payroll and compliance across every location. Drivers clock in from the app, timesheets feed directly into payroll and managers have real-time visibility.
PAIN POINT 2
Licence and certification tracking at scale
Class 2–5 heavy vehicle licences, F endorsements, OSH forklift certificates and D endorsements, we know freight businesses rely on up-to-date credentials for every operational role. Manually tracking expiry dates across a workforce of 50, 100 or 250 people is a compliance accident waiting to happen.
✦ EMPLOYMENT HERO
Store all certifications centrally and set automated reminders before expiry so you’re never caught out by lapses in compliance.
PAIN POINT 3
Disconnected systems creating payroll risks
When your transport system, warehouse platform, accounting software and payroll tool are all separate, someone is always manually moving data between them. That’s time wasted, errors introduced and visibility lost.
✦ EMPLOYMENT HERO
Consolidate your systems into an all-in-one employment platform, freeing your business from admin so you can focus on customer service and growth.
Take the heavy lifting out of logistics admin
Mobile clock-in with GPS for drivers and warehouse staff
With Employment Hero, drivers and warehouse workers clock in from their phone at the start of each shift. GPS verification confirms location, photo clock-in reduces time theft and timesheets generate automatically, feeding directly into the next payroll run without manual intervention.
Licence and certification management
Upload and track every licence, ticket and certification centrally. Employment Hero sends automated reminders before anything expires, and managers can pull a live compliance report at any time, so you always know who’s cleared to operate what equipment.
Automated payroll across complex shift structures
Freight and logistics payroll involves overtime rates, shift allowances, public holiday rates and different pay scales for drivers, loaders and office staff. Employment Hero calculates it all automatically, applying the correct employment agreement rules to the right people without manual checking.
Real-time cost reporting
Know your wage costs, overtime spend and headcount by location, route or team, in real time. The same report that used to take hours to compile manually can be pulled from Employment Hero in seconds, giving leadership the visibility to make fast decisions.
