The transport and logistics workforce challenge: navigating complexity

The transport and logistics industry faces unique workforce complexities that demand specialised solutions. Microkeeper directly addresses these critical pain points:

Challenge: Scheduling drivers across various routes and shifts

Managing a fleet of drivers across diverse routes, varying shift lengths (including night shifts and long-haul) and constantly changing demands is a significant logistical puzzle. Optimising driver schedules to ensure efficiency, meet delivery deadlines, and factor in mandatory rest periods manually is prone to errors, leading to inefficiencies, driver fatigue, and missed compliance.

Challenge: Tracking hours worked, including overtime and rest periods

Accurately capturing driver hours, including drive time, loading/unloading, wait times, breaks, and overtimes, is essential. Traditional manual logbooks or fragmented systems make it difficult to verify hours, correctly calculate overtime, and ensure adherence to fatigue management guidelines and awards. Inaccurate time tracking impacts payroll accuracy and compliance.

Challenge: Ensuring compliance with transport regulations

The transport industry is heavily regulated, with strict rules governing driver work and rest hours, vehicle maintenance, and driver qualifications. Ensuring your operations comply with relevant Modern Awards and other regulations is critical to avoid penalties, maintain licenses, and ensure safety. Manual monitoring and reporting are time-consuming and carry high compliance risk.

Challenge: Managing payroll for a mobile workforce

Payroll for a mobile workforce is inherently complex due to varying hourly rates, penalty rates for different shifts, numerous allowances, and fluctuating overtime. Processing payroll accurately and compliantly for drivers who are rarely in one fixed location, often working non-standard hours, presents significant challenges that demand automated precision.
