Efficiency and Control: The HRI Platform That Revolutionizes Logistics

In the logistics industry, the ability to monitor personnel performance, both internal and external, and track activity efficiency in real-time is crucial to ensuring quality service, reducing operating costs, and optimizing resource allocation.

HRI has implemented a platform based on Power BI, which allows companies to gain an in-depth and customizable view of operations at each logistics site, enabling them to make more informed and strategic decisions.

Platform Features

The platform integrates data from a variety of sources and makes it possible to represent the performance of staff, both internal and external (such as temps), offering key metrics such as:

• Hours/Activity: the hours worked on each activity at each site, distinguishing between ordinary and overtime hours.
• €/Hour: the cost of personnel per hour worked, considering each employee’s job classification and salary level.
• Pieces/Hour: the average productivity, expressed in terms of pieces worked per hour.
• €/Piece: the average cost per piece, a key metric for production cost analysis and future customer bids.

Baseline Data

The platform is based on a wide range of data, including:

• Hours worked: broken down by ordinary and overtime, tracked for each activity and logistics site.
• Grading and wage level: to determine the hourly cost of each worker.
• Activities and Sites: detailed information on the activities performed at each logistics site.
• Master Data: a complete mapping of personnel and their work sites.
• Training: data on the level of training of people, to understand the degree of preparation of personnel assigned to specific activities.
• Economic conditions of customer orders: to analyze the profitability of orders and compare costs and revenues.

Dashboard Levels

One of the most powerful features of the platform is the ability to create different levels of dashboards, each designed for a specific audience within the organization, for example:

1. Management Level:

At the management level, the platform provides periodic or daily reports on economic performance for each site, as well as customer and job orders. This way, managers can easily monitor profitability and identify critical areas. Metrics displayed include total job costs, profit margin and overall productivity.

2. Operational Level:

At the operational level, the platform provides a practical tool for assessing human resource allocation. Operators can check whether personnel are correctly assigned to different jobs and activities, considering the level of training and the specific needs of each site. This type of dashboard makes it possible to quickly correct any inefficiencies, such as overloading some workers and not assigning the most qualified staff to key tasks.

Benefits for the Company

1. Increased transparency and control: Managers can take timely action to resolve inefficiencies and improve personnel management.
2. Comparison of similar activities at different sites : comparison between different sites can lead to the adoption of best practices to improve operational efficiency
3. Mobilization of resources between sites: the ability to identify people skilled in certain activities allows them to be pooled in case of need at other sites.
4. Cost optimization: a detailed analysis of cost per hour and cost per part enables the identification of the most costly activities and taking steps to reduce costs.
5. Better resource allocation: the platform helps ensure that the right people are assigned to the most appropriate tasks, improving productivity, reducing turnover and creating a better balance between skills required by the business and training people.
6. Accurate forecasting: historical data enables forecasting of future staffing needs and budgets, improving operational planning.

Conclusions

This Power BI-based platform is an advanced solution for the logistics industry. It provides data and analysis on multiple levels, ensuring transparency and optimization of operations.

Its flexibility allows you to customize dashboards according to the specific needs of each business role, establish levels of visibility and aggregation of information, and provide a powerful tool for improving human resource management, cost control, and formulation of targeted business offers at logistics sites.

This is just one example of the customized and tailored solutions that HR Intelligence develops for companies that want to optimize human resource management and take advantage of technological innovation opportunities.
