One Record and One Attendance Count for a Workforce on the Move
Attendance for a driver comes from a trip sheet, for a loader from a biometric device and for a delivery executive from an app, while the contractor keeps a sheet of its own. We help you settle one set of rules and one record, so day-to-day HR stops depending on whoever collects the figures at month end. We then configure it in your own system or on the GullyHR platform.

Share your requirementsThe starting point
Does Month-end Start With a Hunt for Numbers?
Each hub keeps its own register, drivers are counted by a supervisor's call, and corrections come as messages. The consolidated view is stitched together by hand and arrives after the people have already queried their pay.
We help you build one record and one counting rule, with hubs entering the data and head office seeing it.
You may be experiencing:
- Attendance arriving from biometric devices, trip sheets, mobile apps and contractor sheets, in different formats.
- Missed punches and late trips corrected by message, with no reason or approver recorded.
- Drivers working long stretches because weekly offs rotate and nobody is watching the count.
- Leave taken by telling the supervisor, with balances held in a spreadsheet or in memory.
- Licence copies and address changes reaching the hub file but not head office, or the reverse.
- Contract workers counted by the contractor and reconciled only when the invoice arrives.
- Letters for bank loans, address proof or experience prepared from scratch on every request.
What we can help with
Our Employee Administration Services for Logistics
Employee Record Structure
Settle what each file must hold for a driver, loader, picker or delivery executive: engagement type, hub, reporting person, licence and validity, medical fitness, bank details, assets issued. Mark fields that only HR may change.
Attendance Capture Across Sources
Define how presence is recorded for each group: biometric at the warehouse, trip-based for drivers, mobile check-in for field staff, contractor register for agency workers. Decide which source is the one that counts when two disagree.
Night and Long-duty Rules
Write down which date a night shift or an overnight trip belongs to, how a late arrival after a long run is treated, and how half-days are counted, so the rule is the same at every hub.
Weekly Off and Rest Tracking
Record weekly offs and rest days against the roster, and raise a flag when someone has worked many days without one. The rule itself is yours to set, and statutory requirements should be confirmed with a qualified professional.
Regularisation and Correction Route
Give missed punches, wrong trip dates and unrecorded swaps one route: who raises it, who clears it, the time allowed and where the reason is kept.
Leave Types, Balances and Approvals
Fix the leave types, how balances build, who approves for each role and how cover is weighed. Show balances to employees on a phone so that they stop asking the supervisor.
Multi-location Consolidation
Combine hub-level attendance into a company view by a stated cut-off, with the contractor's count reconciled against yours before payroll inputs close.
Letters, Certificates and Asset Requests
Prepare templates for appointment, address proof, experience and salary letters, and a request route for uniforms, devices and cards that records each issue and return.

Step by step
How We Work
Look at What Exists
We collect the registers, trip sheets, device exports and contractor sheets in use, and note which one each hub trusts.
Decide the Rules
With HR, operations and hub managers, we settle the record contents and the counting rules, and write them in plain language.
Tidy and Structure the Data
We shape existing data into the new layout and hand you a list of what is missing, such as licence expiry dates or bank details.
Configure and Trial
We set up records, approvals and reminders, and try them at one or two hubs, adjusting what supervisors find clumsy on a busy shift.
Hand Over and Review
We coach the people who will run it, and compare the results with the baseline noted before we began.
The difference
Close the Month Without Chasing
Tidier administration lets your business:
We do not promise outcomes. We record a baseline before work starts, covering the days taken to consolidate attendance, the number of corrections each month and the share of files with complete records, and report against it, so you can see what changed and what did not.
- Find a person's hub, role, licence status and assets in one place.
- Count attendance by the same rule at every location.
- See corrections with a reason and an approver.
- Notice long runs without a weekly off.
- Let employees check their own balances and requests.
- Issue letters from controlled formats.
Find your fit
Who This Service Is For
Operators with Several Hubs
Give every location the same attendance rules and the same record.
Fleet Owners Counting Drivers by Trip
Tie trips, duty days and offs to one attendance record.
Warehousing and Fulfilment Firms
Bring biometric, roster and overtime data together.
Businesses with Mixed Own and Contract Manpower
Keep both groups visible in one register.
Small Transport Companies
Replace paper registers with a light, workable record.
How it usually shows up in logistics and transportation
Administration in logistics has to work without a front door. Warehouse staff may punch a biometric device, drivers are counted by trip or by a supervisor's call, delivery executives log in on a mobile app, and contracted loaders appear on a sheet kept by the contractor. Each location keeps its own register, and the consolidated view is assembled by hand at month end. Missed punches, late trips and shift swaps are corrected by messages to the supervisor, and the correction is seldom recorded with a reason. Leave is taken by telling the supervisor, and balances live in a spreadsheet or in memory. Weekly offs rotate, so a driver may work a long stretch before a day off is noticed. Employee files are split between the hub and head office, and a licence copy or address change reaches one and not the other. The result is a payroll closing week spent chasing numbers.
Common challenges
Where it goes wrong in logistics and transportation
Attendance has five sources
Biometric, app, trip sheet, supervisor call and contractor register must be merged by hand each month.
Corrections have no trail
Missed punches and swaps are changed on a message, with no reason or approver recorded.
Weekly offs are not tracked
Long stretches without a day off pass unnoticed until a person is exhausted or absent.
Records live in two places
The hub file and the head-office file disagree about licence, address and bank details.
A better process
What a working version looks like
- 01
Define attendance by role
One rule for each group: biometric for warehouse, trip log for drivers, app for field staff. The attendance and shift rules put each in writing.
- 02
Set a cut-off and a regularisation route
A fixed date for corrections, a reason code and a named approver, with the change kept on record.
- 03
Track weekly offs and rest
A simple view of days worked in a row, so a roster gap shows before it becomes a problem.
- 04
Hold one employee record
One master file with the licence, address, bank and emergency contact, updated once and seen by hub and head office.
- 05
Consolidate by system, not by sheet
Attendance and leave from every location land in one place on a set date. Attendance and leave software can do it.
What to check this week
- List every way attendance is captured today and who consolidates them.
- Pick one regularised entry and see whether a reason and an approver are recorded.
- Find the longest run of working days without a weekly off in the last month.
- Compare a driver's licence details in the hub file with those at head office.
- Ask how many days payroll waits for attendance from the farthest hub.
Confirm with a qualified professional. What applies depends on your establishment, your state and your sector, and it changes. This page describes a practice; it does not state a legal position.

Questions on this, in logistics and transportation
At minimum identity, engagement type, hub, reporting person, licence number, category and expiry, medical fitness date, address, bank details and assets issued. We help you finalise the list and decide who may edit each field.
By agreeing a source that fits the work: trip start and end, a mobile check-in or a supervisor confirmation. We design the rule with you, then configure it in your system or on GullyHR. Accuracy depends on how consistently the source is used.
Yes, once offs are recorded against the roster. The system can flag long runs without a day off, for you to act on. The rule is yours to set, and you should confirm applicable requirements with a qualified professional.
They can be held in a separate section of the same register, showing contractor, hub, deployment dates and documents. Which of them are your employees is a legal question for your advisers.
No. GullyHR does not give legal advice. We shape routines around the rules you adopt, and you should speak to a qualified professional about entitlements and records that apply to your business.
Often yes. We check how data leaves the device, decide where corrections are entered and arrange things so only one version of attendance moves forward to payroll.
Use the trip log or a mobile check-in at start and end of duty, signed off by the fleet supervisor. Write the rule down so that duty hours and overtime come from the same source.
Through a regularisation request with a reason, approved by the supervisor before the cut-off. The record shows who changed what and why.
In a record you can see, even if the agency pays them. A company supervisor should sign the daily or weekly sheet so it can be checked against the invoice.
Because licences, addresses and contacts change, and the person who needs the latest version is rarely the person who received it. One master avoids two versions of the truth.
