The Challenge:
As a growing business in the transport and logistics industry, Demurrage Solutions faced increasing challenges with their manual processes. With over 40 employees in the field and multiple branches, managing work orders, hazard reports, and employee time sheets on paper was inefficient and time-consuming. Communication between branches relied heavily on phone calls and text messages, which slowed down operations and created room for errors.
The Big Questions:
- Are your team members spending too much time on paperwork and waiting for updates?
- Can you track the performance of your staff in real-time to make better business decisions?
- Do you have visibility into every aspect of your operations to ensure optimal productivity and efficiency?
For Demurrage Solutions, these were critical concerns. They needed a comprehensive system that would provide real-time visibility into job statuses, improve communication, and allow them to track employee performance across all workstations.
The Solution:
ISH Technologies designed a custom logistics management software solution tailored to Demurrage’s specific needs. A key part of the solution was a customer portal that gave both depot managers and clients real-time visibility into ongoing work, including photos and damage reports, based on access protocols.
But that’s not all—the system also provided advanced tools to track employee performance and measure the efficiency of each workstation. Automated daily reports were generated, giving management clear insights into staff productivity and operational bottlenecks.
Key Features of the Solution:
- Real-Time Work Status Tracking: Managers and clients can access the system to view the status of all jobs in real-time, complete with photos and updates, ensuring transparency.
- Performance Monitoring: The system tracks the performance of each employee, helping management evaluate productivity and identify areas for improvement.
- Automated Reports: Daily reports are generated automatically, giving managers full visibility into employee performance, job progress, and overall efficiency across all workstations.
- Improved Decision-Making: With clear, up-to-the-minute insights into each workstation’s performance, managers can make data-driven decisions to improve workflow and resource allocation.
Execution:
The solution was first implemented at Demurrage’s Melbourne branch, where technicians were provided with mobile devices to capture data directly in the field. This data, including job status updates and photos, was instantly synced with the customer portal, allowing managers and clients to access the information in real-time.
The system also captured employee performance metrics, allowing managers to easily assess how efficiently each technician was working. This newfound visibility gave management the ability to make informed decisions on optimising operations and improving overall productivity.
The Results:
The custom logistics management software provided Demurrage Solutions with numerous benefits:
- Real-Time Visibility: Depot managers and clients can track job progress, view photos, and receive updates instantly, improving transparency and reducing communication gaps.
- Employee Performance Tracking: Management can now track the performance of each employee, helping identify areas for improvement and rewarding high-performing staff.
- Automated Reports: The system generates daily reports on work progress and employee productivity, helping managers make better decisions based on real-time data.
- Enhanced Decision-Making: With a clear view of all workstations and job statuses, management can make faster, data-driven decisions, ensuring that resources are allocated efficiently and workflows are optimised.
By moving away from manual processes, Demurrage Solutions has transformed into a more efficient and agile operation, with complete visibility into their business.
