Logistics
Running a logistics operation isn’t simple. You’re dealing with shift workers, drivers, multiple sites, tight schedules, and constant pressure to stay efficient, secure, and compliant.

If you’re in logistics, you’ll recognise some, or all, of these. They aren’t small issues, they directly impact your efficiency, costs, and risk.
Knowing who is on site, across different shifts and multiple depots, is hard to keep on top of manually.
High volumes of agency and temporary staff make accurate hours and onboarding a constant challenge.
Controlling who can enter high-value or restricted areas matters when stock and security are on the line.
Getting the right hours to payroll across drivers, warehouse and shift staff is where manual systems slip.
Busy sites with vehicles and heavy goods demand accurate records and fast, reliable evacuation roll calls.
Reducing theft, misuse, and unauthorised access protects both your stock and your people.
Our logistics workforce management software is designed to tackle these challenges head-on, giving you real time visibility and control across your operation, from time and attendance to access control.
At the heart of any logistics operation is your workforce. If you can’t see what’s happening in real time, it’s hard to stay in control.
Track employee hours accurately across all your sites without relying on manual processes, with time and attendance software built for shift work. No more chasing timesheets or fixing payroll errors.
Through the mobile app, employees manage their own time, request leave, and check schedules, while managers get a clear view of who is available and who is not. See more on absence management.
At any moment, you can see who is in the building, when they arrived, and where they have accessed. That is not just useful, it is critical for safety, backed by fire roll call when it matters most.
Logistics environments often have a steady flow of visitors, drivers, and contractors. Without proper systems, this can create security and compliance risks.
Our visitor management system for logistics lets you:
Everyone signed in appears on your fire roll call, so visitors and contractors are accounted for in an evacuation alongside your staff.
Logistics sites are busy environments with valuable stock, equipment, and restricted areas. You need to be confident that only authorised people can gain access. Our access control systems for warehouses and distribution centres help you do exactly that.
Keep your sites secure
Simple, secure, and flexible
In an emergency, you don’t have time to guess who is in the building. Our fire roll call system for warehouses and logistics sites gives you certainty when it matters most.
Staff, drivers, and signed-in visitors all appear on the same roll call, so nobody is missed. It is simple, but it makes a critical difference when it matters most.
Logistics is one of the country’s largest employers, and one of the most dependent on accurate, efficient workforce management across sites and shifts.
Security doesn’t stop at the entrance, it runs through your entire operation. Combining access control with workforce data helps you:

We are very pleased with the smooth implementation. Computime worked very hard to make sure installation was completed within the time frame and with minimum disruption. The in-depth training allowed us to focus on production and keeping our employees safe at work while ensuring efficiency.

I was tasked with sourcing a computerised time and attendance solution to replace our manual clocking system. The Computime website contained all the information I needed, making the decision straightforward. The software proved easy to use and the helpdesk was very helpful and friendly. Computime have exceeded all of our expectations and objectives. I would definitely recommend them.
