What Is an EWD System in Australia?

An EWD system is the full set-up behind electronic work diaries: an NHVR approved driver app plus the office tools operators use to monitor work and rest across their fleet.

The driver app is the part the NHVR approves. Around it, a good system gives record keepers live visibility, breach alerts and records they can export for audits.

Logmaster combines an NHVR approved EWD with a web portal for the office, so drivers and record keepers work from the same records.

Built for the People Who Use It

A system only works when drivers fill it in properly, so driver acceptance comes first. Logmaster is easy enough that drivers keep using it, and the office gets cleaner data as a result.

Minute-by-minute records

With minute-by-minute counting built into the system, drivers stop surrendering time to quarter-hour rounding.
Less paperwork icon

No more paper to chase

The app guides each entry, so there's no handwriting to decipher. Weekly log sheets then reach the record keeper without the driver doing a thing.

Warnings in good time

A time remaining display and breach alerts let drivers plan the day around their limits.
Offline mode icon

No signal, no problem

An EWD system can't stop working at the edge of coverage. Logmaster records offline, keeps entries on the device and syncs them automatically later, so drivers never have to re-enter a shift.

Trusted on the road

Drivers complete log entries, declarations and checks in one app rather than switching between forms and paper.

What Record Keepers Get

Rolling out an EWD system should cut office admin. Log sheets arrive automatically, alerts surface early and records are ready to export whenever they're needed.

Live alerts in the portal

The web portal shows which drivers need attention, so the office can deal with a possible breach before it occurs.

Logs, checks and forms together

Driver logs, pre-starts and fitness declarations are stored in one secure system, which ends the hunt through filing boxes when an audit is booked.

Stay ahead of breaches

Expiry alerts for licences, registrations and driver documents sit beside breach warnings and incident reports in the same system.

Better planning

Before allocating a job, check who has the hours to cover it, so shifts aren't reshuffled at the last minute.

Simple from day one

Rolling the system out to new drivers is quick because the layout is clear, which keeps training short.

No in‑cab units to buy or fit

Rather than fitting hardware in every truck, run the system on the phones and tablets your drivers already use.

How Logmaster Works

Setup takes a few steps for drivers and a few for the office.
Step 1

Install the app

Each driver installs Logmaster on a supported phone or tablet and completes the initial setup.
Step 2

Start the day right

Pre-start checks and fitness declarations live inside the system, so they're finished before the vehicle moves.
Step 3

Record your shift

Drivers record work and rest with a couple of taps, timed to the minute, on guided screens that cut down errors.
Step 4

Stays in sync

Nobody has to upload anything by hand: the app syncs when it has signal and keeps entries safe on the device until then.
Step 5

Live dashboard

From day one, the office has a live feed of entries and a list of alerts to work through.
Step 6

Export logs for audits

When an auditor asks for a driver's week, the system produces the logs and reports in a few clicks.

Why Businesses Build Their EWD System on Logmaster

Setting up an EWD system is easier when the app and the office portal come from one place. Logmaster pairs its NHVR approved driver app with a web portal, and it can supply tablets and truck mounts if you want dedicated hardware. More than 10,000 drivers and 1,200 businesses use it, including PFD Food Services, Cleanaway and Greyhound Australia. Connected Fleets links it to telematics platforms such as Geotab and Microlise, and Logmaster is ISO 27001 certified. As the HVNL changes, the system is updated with it.

Reviews from Fleets Using the System

Ray A.

First day with Logmaster was to my surprise was user friendly. Josh was very thorough in taking me through all the steps in setting up the Logmaster app. I would recommend Logmaster to all drivers regardless of age. Never have to worry about making a mistake as it tells you if you are. Great customer service after hours support is second to none.

Mike H.

Have started using Logmaster after trying 3 other models. I actually enjoy using it. Very easy to use and follow and the help if you need it is top notch by the developer. Does everything by the minute and works when no service is available. My system is customised for me and fits well with my system (I’m WA). Cost is on par with two of the other ones looked at.
