Sound Familiar?

When Labour Hire Misses, Your Operation Pays For It

  • "We've got a container arriving tomorrow and no one to unload it."
  • "The forklift drivers they sent didn't have current licences."
  • "Pick accuracy has dropped because temp workers don't know our system."
  • "I need reliable people for the night shift, not whoever's left on the books."

Warehousing doesn't wait. When labour hire creates more problems than it solves, your throughput pays the price.

How EIR Works

Labour Hire That Actually Works for Warehousing

We match workers properly

Not just availability — capability. We match based on forklift tickets, warehouse experience, WMS familiarity and proven reliability. Our workforce platform DASHy tracks performance, so we know who delivers in logistics.

We move fast

Real EIR people answering from 5:45am. When a container lands early or your night shift is short, we respond — not a voicemail.

You deal with one person

No rotating account managers. Your contact knows your warehouse, your systems and your throughput requirements.

We stay compliant

Every worker is interviewed, licence-checked, reference-checked and inducted for your facility. Super, tax, WorkCover — handled properly. Full audit trail.
