Connecting FIFO Workforce Data: How PeopleTray Improves Roster Planning

Connecting FIFO Workforce Data: How PeopleTray Improves Roster Planning

In mining, energy, and infrastructure sectors, workforce planning is anything but simple — especially for FIFO (Fly-In Fly-Out) operations. Coordinating transport, accommodation, training, and compliance across remote sites requires more than spreadsheets and siloed systems.

That’s where PeopleTray makes a difference. This purpose-built workforce logistics platform helps organizations centralize FIFO workforce data to eliminate inefficiencies, reduce scheduling errors, and optimize every shift.

The Challenge of Remote Workforce Planning

FIFO operations depend on precise coordination to avoid delays, cost overruns, and compliance issues. Common challenges include:

  • Overlapping or missed rosters
  • Inaccurate travel or accommodation bookings
  • Poor visibility into workforce availability
  • Disconnected data across departments
  • Manual entry errors and last-minute changes

Each of these issues increases administrative burden and risks operational disruptions at site.

PeopleTray: Purpose-Built for FIFO Logistics

PeopleTray is a cloud-native SaaS platform designed to manage roster scheduling, transport logistics, accommodation, training, and compliance — all in one place.

Key capabilities include:

1. Roster Planning & Visibility

Create and manage rosters with built-in rules and availability data. Visual dashboards help planners identify gaps, overlaps, or resource conflicts in real time.

2. Accommodation & Transport Management

Coordinate bookings, allocations, and travel for FIFO employees, reducing no-shows and logistical errors.

3. Training & Compliance Tracking

Track training completions and ensure that only compliant, certified personnel are scheduled for site work.

4. Workforce Risk Management

5. Mobile & Remote Access
