Microlise, a leading provider of transport technology solutions, has announced a new partnership and integration with Logmaster — a National Heavy Vehicle Regulator (NHVR)-accredited provider of fatigue compliance and Electronic Work Diary (EWD) solutions. The integration embeds Logmaster’s fatigue management tools directly into the Microlise ecosystem, helping operators simplify compliance, improve driver safety and reduce administrative overheads.
“Driver fatigue remains one of the most critical safety challenges in the transport sector,” said Luke Olsen, Managing Director – APAC at Microlise.
“By integrating Logmaster into our platform, we’re simplifying compliance, safeguarding drivers and giving operators greater confidence in managing their daily operations.”
Tackling Fatigue Risk with Technology
The partnership arrives as fatigue continues to be a major safety concern in the road transport sector. During a week-long safety initiative in June 2025, the NHVR intercepted 2,985 vehicles and detected 131 fatigue breaches. The collaboration between Microlise and Logmaster directly addresses these risks by embedding accredited fatigue compliance tools into the daily flow of fleet operations.
Through the Microlise SmartPOD app, drivers can now access Logmaster’s Electronic Work Diary (EWD) within their normal workflow. The system prompts drivers to log start times, finish times and rest breaks at the correct intervals, reducing the risk of human error and eliminating the need for paper logbooks.
Streamlined Compliance for Fleet Managers
For fleet and compliance managers, the integration removes the need to maintain duplicate records across multiple systems. Driver and vehicle data entered in the Microlise portal is automatically synchronised with Logmaster, ensuring accuracy and consistency across the entire fleet. This simplifies onboarding processes, reduces administrative effort and ensures data integrity.
As part of Microlise’s Connected Fleets integration, vehicle location data works seamlessly with Logmaster’s fatigue management records. This allows operators to cross-reference work and rest times with real-world movement data, providing a stronger assurance of compliance and supporting Chain of Responsibility (CoR) obligations.
A Shared Commitment to Smarter Compliance
Following its NHVR accreditation, Logmaster has become the market leader in electronic work diary technology in Australia. Its platform combines accuracy, intuitive functionality and regulatory alignment to deliver one of the most practical and effective fatigue management solutions available.
“Drivers and office staff can now access the same real-time data, eliminating confusion and streamlining fatigue management,” said Josh Saunders, Co-founder and Managing Director at Logmaster.
“With features like trip planning and automated breach alerts, operators gain confidence while maintaining consistent standards across multiple depots. Through seamless integration with Microlise — and the ability to pair and reference telematics data with driver fatigue data — we’re not just simplifying compliance; we’re making it smarter.”
Raising the Bar for Safety and Compliance
The integration between Microlise and Logmaster is already live, with plans for deeper functionality in future updates. Together, the two companies are raising the bar for safety and compliance across Australia’s transport industry — combining trusted telematics with accredited fatigue management tools to deliver safer drivers, stronger compliance and more efficient operations.
Key benefits for fleets:
- Simplified compliance: Automated EWD entry prompts and synchronised data reduce paperwork and errors.
- Improved visibility: Real-time alignment between driver records and vehicle data supports proactive fatigue management.
- Operational efficiency: Eliminates duplicate data entry and streamlines onboarding across depots.
- Enhanced safety: Automated breach alerts and trip planning tools strengthen protection for drivers and operators.
Microlise and Logmaster’s partnership represents the next evolution in connected compliance — where safety, technology and efficiency work hand in hand to support a sustainable and responsible transport industry.
