A day in the life of a transport company

5:00amThe night shift driver didn't show up

Nobody knew until the truck sat idle for 3 hours. No attendance system. No shift handover record. A delivery is now late and the client is calling.

7:00amA driver's licence expired — you find out during a roadblock

The traffic police impound the vehicle. The driver is fined. You're fined. The cargo is delayed. All because nobody tracked the expiry date.

9:00amA new driver starts today

No contract signed yet. No copy of his licence on file. You don't have his emergency contact. He's already behind the wheel.

11:00amThe mechanic says a tool kit is missing from the workshop

Three mechanics share the same tools. Nobody signed anything out. The kit costs $200 and it's the second one this quarter.

2:00pmYou need to know which driver has which vehicle

The assignment sheet on the wall is from last month. Two vehicles were swapped last week. One driver was reassigned yesterday. The sheet doesn't reflect any of it.

4:00pmInsurance audit — they want driver records and vehicle assignments

You need every driver's licence, PSV badge, medical certificate, and a record of which vehicles they've driven. That's in 4 different places. The audit is tomorrow.

Every problem above — solved

Every driver, mechanic, and staff member on file

Complete profiles for your entire team — drivers, mechanics, warehouse staff, dispatchers, admin. Licence numbers, certifications, emergency contacts, employment type. Search and find anyone instantly.

New driver starts today? Profile created in 60 seconds. Licence uploaded, emergency contact recorded, contract stored. Before he touches the steering wheel.

Licence and certification tracking that saves you from fines

Driving licences, PSV badges, dangerous goods certificates, medical fitness certificates, first aid qualifications — stored per person with automatic expiry alerts at 90, 30, and 7 days.

Driver's licence expiring next month? You knew 90 days ago. Renewed on time. No roadblock surprises, no impounded vehicles, no fines.

Vehicle and equipment assignment with proof

Assign vehicles, phones, fuel cards, tool kits, PPE, and any equipment to individuals with digital acknowledgement. Full chain of custody — who had what, when, and in what condition.

Which driver has truck KBZ 456T? Open the asset register. Assigned to James on Monday, acknowledged Tuesday, condition: good. No guessing.

Coming Soon

Shift scheduling for 24/7 operations

Day shifts, night shifts, split shifts, rotating schedules. Assign drivers and warehouse staff. Handle swaps. Visual calendar shows coverage across your entire operation.

Night shift driver didn't show? You see it immediately. The backup driver is already on the calendar. No 3-hour idle truck.

Leave that doesn't break your routes

Staff request leave from their phone. You approve with one tap. The team calendar shows who's off — so you never approve leave that leaves a route uncovered.

3 drivers want the same week off during peak season? You see the conflict before approving. Routes stay covered. Clients stay happy.

Compliance documentation always ready

Insurance records, safety training certificates, vehicle inspection reports, dangerous goods permits — stored, searchable, and exportable. Audit-ready at all times.

Insurance audit tomorrow? Export every driver's licence, medical certificate, and vehicle assignment history. 5 minutes, not 5 hours.

One expired licence can shut down your operation

In transport, an expired document isn't just paperwork — it's an impounded vehicle, a fine, a delayed delivery, and a furious client. Cedrios makes sure nothing expires unnoticed.

Why transport HR is hard

Most HR tools are built for desk-based teams. Transport is different.

Distributed workforce

Drivers and field staff are rarely at HQ. Managing leave, documents, and HR admin across depots and routes is chaotic without a central system.

High turnover

Transport has some of the highest staff turnover in any industry. Fast, clean onboarding and offboarding isn't optional — it's essential.

Regulatory pressure

Driving licences, PSVs, roadworthiness certs, health cards — every document has a different expiry date. Missing one can ground a vehicle or invite a fine.

Asset-heavy operations

Vehicles, radios, phones, uniforms, and tools are assigned across dozens of staff. No tracking means no accountability when items go missing.

24/7 shift complexity

Round-the-clock shifts mean split teams, overlapping leave, and coverage gaps that are hard to spot without a team calendar.

Cross-border compliance

Cross-border haulage requires additional permits, health certifications, and documentation for drivers crossing into different jurisdictions.

Before Cedrios vs. After

Before

  • Driver documents in a folder nobody checks
  • Leave approved over the phone — never recorded
  • Expired PSV licence discovered during a roadside inspection
  • No idea who has the company phone or which vehicle key
  • New driver starts without signing a contract
  • Night shift coverage is a frantic last-minute scramble
  • Offboarding checklist is a WhatsApp message that gets ignored
  • No way to know which routes are covered when staff is on leave

After Cedrios

  • Complete digital profile for every driver and field worker
  • Leave requested, approved, and tracked automatically
  • Licence and certification expiry alerts at 90, 30, and 7 days
  • Every asset logged, assigned, and returned on offboarding
  • Contracts, IDs, and permits stored and signed digitally
  • Team calendar shows shift coverage across all routes
  • New hire fully onboarded in under 5 minutes
  • Leave balances accurate in real time — zero arguments

What transport operators say

We had a driver show up to a cross-border run with an expired health certificate. That cost us a full day. Since Cedrios, we get alerts weeks in advance. It hasn't happened again.

Emeka N.

Operations Manager, 60-vehicle haulage company, Lagos

Tracking assets across three depots was a nightmare. Now every vehicle phone, reflective vest, and tool is assigned to a name. We recovered equipment worth over ₦400,000 at our last offboarding audit.

Grace A.

HR Manager, Regional Bus Company, Accra

Our drivers work shifts across night and day. Knowing who's on leave and who's available used to require calls to three people. Now I open the team calendar and I know in five seconds.
