Transportation & Logistics Scheduling Challenges

Running 24/7 operations with drivers and warehouse teams is complex.

🕐

24/7 Multi-Shift Coverage

Need drivers for morning routes (6am-2pm), afternoon deliveries (2pm-10pm), and overnight freight (10pm-6am). Warehouse needs pickers, packers, and loaders across all three shifts. Coordinating 50+ people across different roles and shifts is overwhelming with spreadsheets.

🚨

Driver Call-Offs Before Routes

Driver calls off sick at 5:30am for 6am route. Truck is loaded and ready. You're frantically calling other drivers to cover the route while packages are due for delivery. Customer service is already fielding angry calls about late deliveries.

⚖️

Unfair Shift Distribution

Senior drivers always get day shifts. New hires stuck with overnight and weekend shifts. Warehouse workers complain some people never work weekends. Hard to prove fairness. High turnover because new employees feel mistreated.

💸

Overtime Tracking Chaos

Drivers and warehouse workers hitting unexpected overtime. By the time you realize someone worked 55 hours this week, it's too late. Payroll disputes because drivers claim they worked more hours than scheduled. No way to verify actual vs scheduled time.
