Logistics and warehousing moves fast — but high turnover and bulk hiring create real compliance risk. Right to work violations, unverified licences and missed criminal history checks can shut down an operation. We make it easy to screen every worker, every time.

How We Help
The compliance headaches we fix

High-volume hiring means more risk — and more ways for things to fall through the cracks. Here’s what we solve.

Bulk hiring with no scalable process

Seasonal peaks, new contracts and rapid headcount growth mean dozens of checks at once — with no system built to handle it.

Bulk invitations

Right to work gaps in the casual workforce

Casuals, labour hire and visa workers rotate constantly. One undocumented worker is enough to trigger a Department of Home Affairs audit.

VEVO verified

Unverified forklift and heavy vehicle licences

Forklift operators and truck drivers must hold current, valid licences. Taking their word for it isn’t enough when there’s a WHS obligation on the line.

Licence verified

Slow checks pushing back start dates

Operations don’t wait. When a check takes four days and someone was supposed to start Monday, the whole roster falls apart.

Did you know?
Right to work violations can result in civil penalties of up to $93,900 per worker — even when the worker was sourced through a labour hire agency.
Built for high-volume operations

Screen fifty workers as easily as screening five

Whether you’re onboarding a new shift crew, managing labour hire compliance or preparing for a peak season surge — our platform handles bulk screening without the admin overhead. One invitation template, sent to as many candidates as you need.

Bulk candidate invitations

Send a single check package to dozens of workers at once. Every candidate gets their own link — results come back to one dashboard.

Labour hire & subcontractor screening

Screen workers placed by agencies or subcontractors under your own account — so you hold the compliance records, not them.

Audit-ready records, always

Every check, result and date stored with a full audit trail — ready for a client audit, a WHS inspection or a Department of Home Affairs review, instantly.

FAQ
Common questions from logistics & warehousing operators
Yes — bulk screening is one of our core strengths for logistics operators. You can configure a standard check package and send it to as many candidates as you need at once. Each worker gets their own link, completes everything online, and results come back to your single dashboard. No data entry, no chasing, no separate invoices per worker.
Yes. We verify High Risk Work Licences (HRWL) for forklift operators and driver licences for MR, HR, HC and MC class vehicles — confirmed directly with the issuing authority or relevant state body. This gives you documented proof that a licence is current and valid before the worker accesses equipment or a vehicle, satisfying your WHS obligations.
Yes. As the host employer, you carry right to work obligations for workers placed at your site — regardless of whether they’re sourced through a labour hire agency. The Department of Home Affairs can hold you liable for illegal workers even if the agency placed them. Our VEVO checks are run under your account so you hold your own documented proof — not dependent on the agency’s records.
98% of police checks are returned within 12 hours. VEVO checks are near-instant. Licence verifications depend on the issuing authority but are typically returned within 1–2 business days. We know rosters don’t wait — turnaround speed is central to how we’ve built the platform.
Yes. Every check, result, date and worker status is stored with a full audit trail in your account. You can export a compliance report at any time — ready for a retail client’s supplier audit, a WHS regulator inspection, or an internal due diligence review. It’s there when you need it, instantly.
Yes. All data is stored on Australian servers and handled strictly in accordance with the Australian Privacy Principles. We do not offshore any data or operations. For operators with government or defence supply chain contracts — or clients who specify onshore data requirements — this is a hard requirement we already meet.
