Traffic control software: rosters, sign-in & dockets
Traffic control: crews, plans and dockets that line up. Rosters with tickets checked.
Shifts confirmed by text at 4am, traffic plans buried in email attachments and dockets chased for a fortnight before anyone can invoice. We build rostering, compliance, site and docket systems for traffic control companies that all talk to each other. Then we host them and look after them.
Looking for traffic control rostering software that handles tickets, plans and dockets too?
A traffic control business is a labour hire firm, a compliance office and a gear yard squeezed into one ute. Jobs change by the hour. Every controller needs the right tickets for the right road authority and every hour on site has to end up on a signed docket. Most companies hold it together with group texts, a spreadsheet of ticket expiries and a clipboard in every cab.
Wollopit builds custom traffic control software around how your business actually runs. Allocate a crew and it checks tickets and fatigue before the shift goes out. Traffic plans and permits sit on the job. Crews sign in, do pre-starts and get dockets signed on their phones. Approved hours flow to invoices and payroll. We connect the tools you already use, replace the ones holding you back and look after the lot on our own servers.
01The problems
What we hear from traffic control companies
Does your traffic control business have these problems? Here's how we'd fix them.
Most traffic control companies we talk to run tight crews and loose paperwork. It works fine until a ticket lapses, a plan changes or a client disputes the hours.
- The problemShifts confirmed by text at 4amTomorrow's jobs go out by group text at 9pm. By 4am you're still ringing the two controllers who never replied.How we fix itShifts land in the crew app with the job, site, start time and plan. Unconfirmed shifts flag the night before so you're not ringing round in the dark.
- The problemControllers sent without current ticketsSomeone gets sent to a job with a lapsed TC ticket or no implementer where the plan needs one. The client spots it before you do.How we fix itEvery allocation checks tickets, white cards, licences and site inductions first. Expired or missing means they can't be picked.
- The problemFatigue tracked in someone's headNight works finish at 5am and the same controller gets booked for a 6am start across town. Nobody clocks the break until it's too late.How we fix itFatigue checks on every allocation. Minimum breaks, maximum hours and run of consecutive shifts flagged before the roster goes out.
- The problemTraffic plans scatteredTGS and TMPs live in inboxes and shared folders. The crew rocks up with last month's revision on a crumpled printout.How we fix itPlans and every revision attached to the job. Crews open the current one on their phone and old versions are marked superseded.
- The problemPermits expire mid-jobRoad occupancy permits and council approvals lapse halfway through a job. Nobody remembers the night works conditions.How we fix itPermits stored against each job with expiry dates, permitted hours and conditions. Reminders go out before anything lapses.
- The problemPre-starts on a clipboardSign-in, pre-starts and toolbox talks are handwritten in the ute. When an incident comes up you're digging through the tray.How we fix itDigital sign-in, pre-starts and toolbox talks on the phone with time stamps, GPS and photos, all filed against the job.
- The problemSign checks nobody can proveThe plan calls for regular site inspections. They happen, but there's no record when an auditor or insurer asks.How we fix itInspection checklists on a timer with photos of the setup. Missed checks alert the supervisor straight away.
- The problemDockets chased for invoicingHours go on a paper docket, the foreman's signature is a squiggle and the docket sits in a glovebox for a fortnight.How we fix itDigital dockets with start, finish, breaks and gear signed by the client on site. Approved dockets turn into invoices in Xero or MYOB.
- The problemBilling disputes over hoursThe client reckons the crew left at 2, not 3. Minimum call-outs, night rates and extra gear get missed on the invoice.How we fix itTime-stamped sign-in and sign-off backed by the client's signature. Your rate rules for minimums, nights and weekends apply automatically.
- The problemLast-minute job changesStart time moves, the site shifts two streets or the job's cancelled at 5am. Half the crew finds out when they arrive.How we fix itChange the job once. Every allocated controller gets a push notification or SMS and has to acknowledge it.
- The problemSigns and gear go walkaboutCones, signs, barriers and an arrow board left on a finished site. The next ute leaves the yard loaded wrong.How we fix itGear lists built from the plan, load-out checks at the yard and a register of what's sitting on which site.
- The problemPayroll retyped from docketsThe office keys hours into payroll by hand. Night penalties, travel and allowances get missed or doubled.How we fix itApproved hours flow to payroll with penalties and allowances worked out from your rules. Pay runs stop being a guessing game.

03The systems
The big ones
Your whole traffic control business, on one system.
These are the systems traffic control companies ask us about most. Each one works on its own and they get properly clever when they're joined up.
Shift allocation
Tomorrow's roster, confirmed before bed.
Every job, every crew and every gap on one board. Allocate a controller and the shift goes straight to their phone with the site, plan and start time. You see who's confirmed hours before the alarm goes off.
- Drag and drop allocation board
- Shifts pushed to crew phones
- Confirmations with reminders
- Unconfirmed shifts flagged early
- Crew matched by tickets and location
- Fatigue checks on every shift
- Availability and leave from crew
- Change alerts with acknowledgement
- Repeat jobs and standing crews
- Google Maps directions to site
Tickets & fatigue
Nobody goes out without the right tickets.
Every controller's tickets, licences and inductions live in one register with expiry dates. The allocation board won't let you pick someone who isn't qualified or hasn't had their break, so compliance happens before the shift instead of after the audit.
- TC and implementer tickets
- White cards and driver licences
- Client and site inductions
- Expiry reminders to crew and office
- Crew upload renewals from their phone
- Blocked allocations when expired
- Minimum break checks
- Maximum hours and consecutive nights
- Override log with reasons
- Compliance report per client
Plans & permits
The current plan, on every phone on site.
Traffic guidance schemes, management plans and permits are attached to the job, not buried in an inbox. Upload a new revision and the old one is marked superseded, so the crew never sets up off last week's drawing.
- TGS and TMPs stored per job
- Revision control with superseded flags
- Plans open on crew phones
- Road occupancy permits on the job
- Permit expiry and hours reminders
- Conditions shown to the crew
- Gear list built from the plan
- Plan requests from clients
- Works with plans drawn in RapidPlan
- Full history for audits
Site app
Sign-in, pre-starts and sign checks in your pocket.
Crews sign in on arrival, do the pre-start and toolbox talk on their phone and log inspections with photos as the day goes on. Everything is time-stamped and filed against the job, ready when an auditor or client asks.
- Sign-in with time and GPS
- Digital pre-starts and risk checks
- Toolbox talks signed by the crew
- Timed site inspections with photos
- Missed check alerts
- Incident and near miss reports
- Works with patchy signal
- Setup and pack-down photos
- Supervisor view of every site
- Records exported for audits
Dockets & billing
Dockets signed on site. Invoices out the same day.
Hours, breaks, crew and gear go on a digital docket the client signs on the controller's phone. Your rate rules apply automatically, then approved dockets become invoices and pay lines without anyone retyping a thing.
- Client signature on site
- Start, finish and breaks captured
- Gear and vehicles on the docket
- Minimum call-out rules
- Night, weekend and public holiday rates
- Dockets emailed to the client
- Invoices into Xero or MYOB
- Hours to payroll with penalties
- Disputed docket workflow
- Unbilled hours report
04How it changes
Before and after
A 4am crew call, wolloped.
Here's how a typical early start could change. Every traffic control business runs differently, so we map yours first.
Before
- Group text at 9pm and two controllers never reply
- Ringing round at 4am to fill the gap
- Nobody checked the new guy's ticket
- Crew sets up off an old plan printout
- Pre-start scribbled on a clipboard in the ute
- Paper docket lost before it's invoiced
After
- Shifts confirmed in the app before bed
- The one gap flagged at 8pm and filled
- Tickets and fatigue checked on allocation
- Current plan revision open on every phone
- Pre-start signed on site with time and GPS
- Docket signed by the client and invoiced that afternoon

07How we work
The process
Some people dip their toe in. We turn up in a rebreather.
We get properly below the surface of your traffic control business: the systems, the busy days and the jobs everyone hates. Then we fix the bits that matter most first.
- 01
Think
We sit with your allocator at the end of the day, ride along to a site and see how dockets reach the office, then work out what's actually slowing you down.
- 02
Archi-tech
We plan it before writing code: your crews, tickets, fatigue rules, plans, permits, rates, payroll, hosting and cost.
- 03
Build
Real engineering, shown to you early and often. Usually the most painful bit first, like allocation or dockets, so you get a win within weeks.
- 04
Look after
We host it, maintain it and keep improving it. When something breaks you call the people who built it.
08Questions
FAQ
Things traffic control companies ask us.
Something else on your mind? Ring 0423 011 252 and ask the people who'd build it.
Can it stop us rostering someone without current tickets?
Yes. Every controller's tickets, licences and inductions sit in a register with expiry dates. If someone isn't qualified for a job they simply can't be allocated to it.
Can it check fatigue between shifts?
Yes. We build your fatigue rules in, like minimum breaks, maximum hours and consecutive nights. The board flags a problem before the roster goes out and logs any override.
Can clients book crews online?
Yes. Regular clients get their own portal to request crews with dates, sites, hours and requirements. They can upload plans, see who's coming and approve dockets.
Will the crew app work with bad signal?
Yes. Sign-ins, pre-starts and dockets can be captured with patchy or no signal and sync once the phone is back in range.
We already use Traffio or Assignar. Do we have to switch?
No. If a platform is doing its job we build around it and fill the gaps. If it's holding you back, we'll show you what replacing it would involve before anything changes.
How much does a traffic control system cost?
It depends on what you need, so we quote up front once we understand it. No surprise invoices, no lock-in and you own what we build.
How long does it take?
Smaller jobs like digital dockets or a ticket register can be quick. Bigger systems are planned in stages so you get the first win early instead of waiting for everything at once.
Who looks after it once it's built?
We do. We host it on our own managed servers and keep it updated and secure. When you need something you ring the people who built it.
We already have systems. Can you upgrade them instead of starting again?
Usually, yes. Most traffic control companies we work with keep what's working and upgrade the rest in stages. We move your data across, connect the old and new while we switch and retire the old system only when the new one is proven.
