dayFlow

Supply chain and logistics

Night shifts, rotating teams and a busy gate

Warehouses and depots run around the clock. Night shifts stay on the day they began, overtime follows your rules, and a kiosk at the gate handles the shift change rush.

  • Quick gate
  • Nights done right
  • History intact

In plain words

Attendance in supply chain and logistics

Warehouses and depots run around the clock, with night shifts, rotating teams, agency labour at peaks and heavy overtime. The gate is a bottleneck at shift change, and getting night hours onto the right day is a recurring headache.

dayFlow handles those directly: a tablet at the gate recognises people as they walk through, a shift that crosses midnight stays on the day it began, agency workers are tagged, and overtime is counted by your rules and approved with the day.

The challenge

Why attendance is hard in supply chain and logistics

Today

  • Night and rotating shifts.
  • Heavy overtime that must be agreed and counted.
  • Queues at the gate at shift change.

With dayFlow

  • Quick gate. A tablet clocks people in without queues of phones.
  • Nights done right. A shift crossing midnight stays whole.
  • History intact. Schedule edits never rewrite worked days.

How dayFlow helps

What it does for supply chain and logistics

A gate that does not queue

A kiosk tablet recognises people in a second or two. Use more than one at shift change. Doubtful recognitions are not accepted as a match.

In practice

  • Kiosk recognition
  • Honest when unsure

Nights and rotations done right

Night hours stay with the day the shift began, rotations are roster entries, and a person can follow their own pattern. Edits count from today and never rewrite days worked.

In practice

  • Shifts that end after midnight
  • Rotation by roster
  • History intact after edits

Peaks with agency labour

Temporary workers are added fast, tagged by agency and checked like staff. Overtime in peak weeks is counted and approved with the days.

In practice

  • Agency tag on each worker
  • Overtime rates and approvals
  • Hours by agency for the invoice

Examples

How teams like yours use it

  • Example 1

    Shift change at a distribution centre

    Two tablets by the door clock in the incoming shift and clock out the outgoing one in minutes.

  • Example 2

    A fortnightly rotation

    The night rotation is entered for the period and hours after midnight stay with the right day.

  • Example 3

    Peak season

    Fifty agency workers start in one week. Each is added, tagged and registered, and clocks in from day one.

Questions

Things people in this industry ask

How do night shifts work?

A shift that ends after midnight belongs to the day it started.

Can overtime need approval?

Overtime is computed from the schedule; requests and approvals are recorded with the day.

Can we run several depots?

Yes. Each is a location with its own area and rules.

How many kiosks can one site have?

As many as you sign in; they all feed the same records.

Can night shifts cross month end?

A shift belongs to the day it started, so its hours go to that day even when it ends after midnight.

Can overtime be limited?

Overtime is computed from your rules, and extra hours can be requested and decided with the day.

What about drivers away from the depot?

They can clock in from the phone app at the locations they are assigned to.
