Sherm by industry
HSEQ Management Software for Transport & Logistics
HSEQ management that moves with your workforce.
Transport and logistics operations don't happen in one workplace.
Intelligent operational guidance with defensible oversight.
Drivers, operators, vehicles and equipment move between depots, customer locations, loading facilities and the road network — while operational decisions may be made somewhere else entirely.
Sherm connects your people, vehicles and equipment, risk, incidents, inspections, competency, controlled documents and corrective actions within one HSEQ environment, giving mobile teams practical ways to participate while providing management with greater visibility across the operation.
HSEQ Management Wherever the Work Takes Place
Transport businesses operate across constantly changing environments. A worker may start at a depot, inspect a vehicle, enter a customer's workplace and participate in loading or unloading during the same shift.
The organisation still needs visibility over drivers and operators, vehicles and equipment, risk, competency, inspections, documents, incidents and actions.
Sherm helps connect operational HSEQ information across a workforce that is constantly on the move.

Put HSEQ Information in the Hands of Your Mobile Workforce
Transport workers should not have to return to an office to participate in the HSEQ system.
Sherm's mobile application can give workers access to configured reporting, inspections, documents and workforce information. Depending on access, that may include hazards, incidents, issues, SDS, training, competency, licences and certificates.
The HSEQ system travels with your workforce.
On the road or at site
Workers encounter HSEQ requirements across depots, customer locations and the road network.
Report, access and complete
Mobile workers participate in configured reporting, inspections and information access.
Sherm mobile
Their activity can be recorded through the Sherm mobile application.
Connected HSEQ records
Information becomes available in the wider management environment.
Review, action and oversight
Responsible people review findings, coordinate action and retain evidence.
Connect Drivers, Vehicles and Operational Risk
Transport safety is influenced by more than what happens behind the wheel. Scheduling, loading and unloading, vehicle condition, worker competency, procedures and work environments all form part of the operational picture.
Sherm helps organisations maintain the HSEQ information surrounding these activities within one connected environment. The vehicle moves; its supporting information remains available to the responsible people.
Turn Inspections Into Operational Action
Pre-starts and inspections are important, but completing a checklist is not the end of the process.
Where an inspection identifies a defect, hazard or other issue, responsible people need visibility of what happens next.
Sherm can connect field participation with review, action and verification instead of treating the completed inspection as the outcome.
Inspect
Complete the relevant vehicle, equipment or workplace check.
Identify
Record a defect, hazard or concern that needs attention.
Review
The appropriate person assesses the finding.
Act
Assign the response and responsibility.
Verify
Check the agreed work and retain supporting evidence.
Close
Complete the record once the response has been reviewed.
Maintain Visibility of Training, Licences and Competency
Transport operations can depend on workers maintaining appropriate licences, certificates, training and operational competencies.
Sherm's Training & Competency capabilities provide a structured place for this information. MyCAT can give workers greater visibility of their own records.
Connect the person, role, requirement and record so capability information remains visible without relying on separate spreadsheets.
Explore training and competencySupport Your Chain of Responsibility Management System
For organisations with Chain of Responsibility duties, Sherm can provide a structured HSEQ environment for many of the processes and records that may support a broader management system.
Relevant records may include risk assessments, procedures, training and competency, inspections, vehicle information, incidents, audits, corrective actions and guidance. Your organisation remains responsible for understanding and meeting the duties that apply to its transport activities.
Make Transport Guidance Easier to Access
Sherm Resources can make selected organisational, regulator and industry information accessible to transport workers and managers.
Depending on your operation, that may include guidance about Chain of Responsibility, fatigue, fitness to drive, loading and load restraint, vehicle safety and operational procedures. Your organisation selects and reviews the information it relies on.
Explore Sherm ResourcesConnect Loading, Unloading and Transport Activities
Transport risk can arise before a vehicle leaves a facility and after it reaches its destination. Packing, loading, load restraint, unloading, scheduling and information about a load can all matter to the people managing the work.
Sherm can connect the surrounding risk, procedures, competency, inspection, incident, audit and corrective-action records.
This makes the HSEQ environment relevant to transport operators as well as logistics, warehousing, distribution and bulk-handling organisations.
