Challenges

Challenges in Logistics

In everyday work, the greatest challenges often arise where different systems, data sources, and processes converge. This results in media discontinuity, sources of error, and additional administrative work, which not only costs time but also hinders transparency, planning reliability, and compliance.

  • Time-consuming time tracking: Manually completed timesheets, duplicate processes, and error-prone transfers increase the workload and make traceability difficult.
     
  • Complex surcharge calculation: Different surcharges for night work, weekend work, or overtime, for example, require dynamic calculation.
     
  • Compliance risks: Multifaceted legal requirements regarding working hours, driving times, and rest periods increase complexity and make compliance challenging.
     
  • Inflexible employee scheduling: Unexpected route changes, driver substitutions, and absences require quick and coordinated adjustments.

How Integrated Solutions Reduce Complexity

Parallel systems, manual interfaces, and error-prone processes mean an enormous amount of administrative work in everyday business. Combined solutions that enable relevant data to be brought together create a common basis for planning and managing human resources and evaluating working hours.

By combining workforce and fleet management, processes that were previously based on manually recorded and incomplete information can now be consistently mapped and tracked - from route planning to payroll accounting.
