MODERNISING workforce management, rostering and payroll operations is the aim of a new partnership between OneAdvanced and Tasfreight.

The move aims to replace legacy paper-based processes with an integrated digital platform.

Established in Devonport in May 1984, Tasfreight manages a high-volume, high-velocity national operation, with teams coordinating linehaul, warehousing, last-mile delivery and customer service.

The company previously relied on manual paper-based forms, faxed paperwork, and email chains to allocate jobs, approve hours and manage rostering.

But with the business expanding nationally, there was need for change.

Tasfreight company secretary Stuart Nicholls said the shift to a digital workforce management system was essential.

“We had reached a point where paper-based workflows were slowing down the business,” Mr Nicholls said.

“Staff would have to fax or email job sheets and timesheets across different depots, which made it harder to maintain accuracy, keep everyone updated and respond quickly to customer needs.

“Moving to the OneAdvanced workforce management platform, Time and Attendance, means we now have everything in one place, automated and accessible in real time.”

Tasfreight operations manager Malcolm Dart said the OneAdvanced workforce management system had transformed how the business managed rostering of jobs.

“Our teams can see their shifts instantly, managers can make rapid adjustments and we can allocate resources far more efficiently, which has totally changed the way we operate,” Mr Dart said.

OneAdvanced Australian country director, Adam Bowles, said Tasfreight played “a critical role in keeping goods moving across Australia and we are thrilled to partner with a business that is so focused on innovation and service quality”.

“By moving from manual systems to an integrated digital workforce management platform, Tasfreight is reducing administrative load, improving compliance and giving its teams the information they need to make better decisions,” Mr Bowles said.

OneAdvanced is a prominent technology partner to people-focused industries across Australia and New Zealand, including logistics, manufacturing and mining.
