Streamlining Logistics with Xertilox
The logistics sector is a cornerstone of the UK economy, employing approximately 9% of the workforce and contributing £185 billion in value, which accounts for about 12% of the total non-financial economy.
Projections indicate that the industry will continue to expand, with the UK logistics market expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.5% from 2025 to 2030, reaching a revenue of USD 251.8 billion by 2030.
To meet this growing demand, the logistics industry requires quick, flexible, and accurate vetting services to ensure a competent and compliant workforce.
The Problem
The logistics sector faces significant challenges in efficiently vetting a large and expanding workforce, which is essential for maintaining operational efficiency and compliance.
High Volume of New Hires
The rapid growth of the logistics industry necessitates the onboarding of a substantial number of employees, including drivers, warehouse staff, and administrative personnel.
Traditional vetting processes are time-consuming and can create bottlenecks, delaying the deployment of new hires.
Complex Compliance Requirements
Ensuring that all employees meet regulatory standards, such as valid driver's licenses, right-to-work documentation, and background checks, is critical.
Manual verification methods are prone to errors and may result in non-compliance, leading to legal and financial repercussions.
Operational Inefficiencies
Delays in vetting can disrupt supply chains, leading to missed deliveries and dissatisfied customers.
The administrative burden of managing extensive paperwork and coordinating between departments hampers productivity.
