Allport Cargo Services provide global, multi-model, freight and logistics services to companies of every size across many sectors, with a high level of specialisation in retail, fashion and consumer goods. Today Allport Cargo Services has investments in over 20 countries and operates in another 100. As one of 4 Warehouses & Distribution Centres covering the Midlands, the Bardon Distribution Centre (Leices- tershire) with 130,000 ft² offers a wide range of special and logistics services e.g. container processing, label- ling, pick pack, store packs, bespoke presentation, UK and International eCommerce fulfilment etc. About 250 employees engage every day to ensure each product reaches the customer on time and on budget. Allport Cargo Services employ both full time and tem- porary staff via an employment agency. Time recording was done manually by means of timesheets, both labour intensive and open to error. As Rachael Gough, who manages monitoring of hours worked, says „We had issues with transparency and reporting of accurate hours worked and spent a great deal of time and resource in collating data for payroll. We needed a time recording solution, where Allport staff and temporary staff are grouped separately within the software with the employ- ment agency having their own log in to view staff.“ After successful consultations with the ISGUS UK sales team they made the decision to move forward and implement ZEUS® X. The reasoning behind this decision Allport Cargo Services Ltd. in Leicester is an affiliate of Allport Cargo Services, a global supply chain, logistics and freight forwarding company. Established in 1963 the company grew over the years to become one of the UK’s leading indepen- dent freight forwarders. ZEUS® X TIME MANAGEMENT SUPPORTS JUST-IN-TIME DELIVERIES 10
