“How do you track licences and hours for staff who are never at a desk?”

Logistics

Licences and certificates held with expiry dates, and hours captured from a phone rather than a depot office.

Why depot HR runs on paper

Because the workforce is not at a desk. Hours are written down, licence checks are a folder in the transport office, and the person who knows when a certificate expires is the person who happened to file it.

It works until an audit, a leaver, or a driver whose entitlement lapsed three weeks ago.

Check-in and check-out happen from a phone, producing the attendance record directly. Licences, medicals and certificates sit in the document vault against the person with their expiry dates, and an approaching expiry becomes work with an owner.

Depots are sites on one reporting structure, so a driver moving between them keeps one record and one history.

How Nest works away from a desk

What changes at payroll and audit

Hours, overtime and night premiums reach payroll from the clock rather than from a transcribed sheet. Every change keeps its previous value with an actor and a date.

An audit becomes a query rather than a search through a filing cabinet, and the answer includes when each document was checked.

The first payroll run is six days away.

Other ways in

Logistics, answered.

Bring the handover that hurts most.

Half an hour on your own numbers is usually enough to say whether Nest is the right place to start.
