Managing staff activities like timesheets, expenses, and holiday leave can be a daunting task, especially with a large workforce and outdated methods. Watch our product demonstration video to see first hand how the Team Admin app can simplify time consuming tasks.
Handling staff holiday leave
The team admin app makes it easy to stay on top of staff holiday leave. Staff open their app, select the number of days they want to take off and then submit the request. Admin staff will receive a notification via email or SMS that a member of staff has submitted a holiday request. The admin staff member will then either approve the request or decline it with a reason. If it is a driver who has submitted the request and it is approved, their leave will appear in their calendar making it easy for planners to spot driver availability ahead of time.
Expenses paid easy
With the team admin app, staff can upload expense claims to the app along with photographic evidence of receipts automatically attached to the expense form. This means that everything is submitted together, greatly reducing admin time spent matching receipts to expenses. Once submitted, admin staff will receive a notification about a new expense form and can then view the expense form either in the app or the TMS. From here they can send a notification to the person who submitted the expense with an approval or rejection (along with a reason), and again an additional notification once the expense has been paid, giving total visibility of expense payments.
Keep track of driver work hours
The app provides the ability for drivers to submit their daily timesheets. Drivers can choose to manually type in how many hours they worked that day. Alternatively, activities can be split into sections with the ability to time how long is taken driving, unloading, or any activity the haulier wants to keep track of. Once submitted all timesheet data can be easily viewed in the TMS, making sure drivers are working the correct hours and taking enough breaks.

Leave management
It has never been easier to manage holidays and other leave than with our integrated Team Admin app, where:
- Drivers can submit leave requests from the road or from home.
- Guided by screen resourcing information, the back-office team can make informed decisions on authorising or rejecting leave requests.
- Driver availability is synchronised automatically with the planning screens in the TMS for an accurate view of the drivers who are available for work.
