Can people be allocated across different operations?

Workforce planning supports shared labour across Vessel, Yard, Gate, Fleet, and M&R. Allocations account for qualifications, availability, equipment eligibility, rest periods, and shift limits.

How are payroll and contractor costs supported?

Attendance, actual hours, overtime, and activities feed a unified timesheet, providing validated inputs for payroll, labour costing, accruals, and contractor settlement.

How does the solution respond to no-shows or changing priorities?

Attendance and availability updates reveal shortages and unavailable workers. Supervisors can coordinate replacements, review changes, and reallocate qualified people as operational needs change.

Operational Focus

Bring every shift into the operating plan.

Separate labour plans and disconnected timesheets make it hard to know who is available, qualified, and ready to work. LogStar Workforce Management brings workforce records, rosters, attendance, and assignments into one operational view.

Coordinate shared labour across terminal functions, identify shortages before shift start, and help supervisors respond when vessel priorities, workload, or worker availability changes.

Core Capabilities

From workforce demand to the right crew on the ground.

One Workforce Master

Centralize worker records, roles, and shared labour pools across Vessel, Yard, Gate, Fleet, and M&R.

Demand & Shift Planning

Translate workload into headcount by role and shift. Build rosters, plan crews, and identify shortages or surplus.

Skills & Certification

Maintain a central skill matrix and check qualifications, certification validity, and equipment eligibility before allocation.

Attendance & Availability

Track check-in, absence, leave, standby, and late reporting so supervisors can confirm readiness and find replacements.

Allocation & Dispatch

Match qualified people to work, publish crew assignments, and reallocate resources as demand and priorities change.

Overtime & Compliance

Validate rest periods, shift limits, and overtime rules. Flag exceptions before they affect workforce deployment.

Unified Timesheets

Capture actual hours and activities in one labour record, with validated inputs for payroll and contractor costing.

Productivity & Insights

Compare planned and actual deployment. Monitor utilization, overtime, output, shortages, and recurring bottlenecks.

Business Value

Better readiness. Stronger utilization. Clearer labour control.

Make Better Use of Your Workforce

Share qualified people across functions, reduce idle time, and limit unnecessary overtime through coordinated planning.

Keep Operations Moving

See staffing gaps earlier, replace unavailable workers faster, and respond to changes in the operating plan.

Improve Compliance & Cost Accuracy

Apply consistent assignment checks and use a single validated labour record for payroll, costing, and settlement inputs.

Vessel Workforce Planning

Turn the vessel plan into an executable crew plan.

Use vessel ETA, quay-crane plans, move volumes, work queues, and shift windows to calculate workforce requirements by role.

Coordinate the full planning cycle

Check skills, certifications, equipment eligibility, and shift availability before reviewing and approving the crew proposal. Dispatch assignments, capture attendance at shift start, and reassign people when priorities change.

Connect operations with finance

Exchange demand and execution status with Vessel, TOS, Fleet, M&R, and Work Order Management. Share validated actual hours with payroll and contractor costing, while operational systems retain ownership of vessel and task planning.
