How your business can benefit from a tailored visitor management system for logistics

Logistics companies must comply with a variety of government regulations, both at the state and federal level. Having a visitor management system in place that can verify a visitors identity can help logistics companies to ensure regulatory compliance and keep up to date with all the latest regulations.

Compliance requirements for logistics companies can vary significantly depending on the company’s industry and the type of products or services it provides. However, there are some general requirements that all logistics companies need to meet. Some key compliance requirements for logistics companies include:

ATT Logistics is a privately owned business that commenced operation in 1985, serving businesses in Brisbane. Originally started by the current Directors operating out of a 200 square metre office at Sumner Park with five vehicles, it then moved its operations to a larger facility of 1300 square metres containing both office space and warehousing.

Today ATT Logistics operates out of a state-of-the-art facility at Carole Park which provides 8000 square metres in warehouse and office space to accommodate the company’s ongoing growth. The growth has been possible due to the company recognising the importance of meeting the service offer to its clients.

What were you using before VisitUs Reception?

Old school pen and paper based system. We used 3 logbooks/registers, one each for visitors, contractors and employees.

Site inductions used to be pen and paper based. All data generated used to be manually entered in Excel and all inductions were scanned and saved weekly.

What was the trigger for deciding to try something new?

One employee spent about 3-4 hours per week entering data in Excel and maintaining records. Because of manual data entry, it was difficult to eliminate human error.

Every once in a while, induction documents got misplaced and it was getting difficult to maintain visitor records.

Too much paper was being wasted. To save time, money and paper, we were on a lookout for a better solution.

What were your top reasons for selecting VisitUs Reception?

Cost effective solution that is centrally managed using the web portal.

Easy to deploy, easy to maintain, easy to expand over multiple locations if need be and most importantly its paperless
