Features
NewHR and workforce management, built into your dealership
Keep employee records, team structure and the org chart in the same system that runs your sales, parts and service — with role-based access, encrypted payroll details, and no separate HR tool to keep in sync.
Overview
In most dealerships the people side of the business lives outside the system that runs everything else. Employee details sit in a spreadsheet, the org chart is in someone's head, and the sensitive data — tax file numbers, bank and super details — ends up in email threads and filing cabinets. When the workshop already knows who is qualified to do what and who reports to whom, keeping a second, disconnected HR record is duplicated effort that quietly goes stale.
MDMS puts a proper workforce register inside your DMS. Every employee has a record with their position, employment basis, manager and start date; managers get a self-service view of their own team; and the whole company is visible as a searchable directory and a live org chart drawn from who reports to whom. Access is tiered — an employee sees only their own profile, a manager sees their reports, and HR sees everyone — and the genuinely sensitive fields (TFN, bank, super) are encrypted at rest and visible only to payroll, with every view recorded in an audit trail. It also runs NES leave with request-and-approval, time and attendance with timesheet approval, a training and competency register with expiry tracking, WHS incident and hazard management, onboarding checklists, and pay-run assembly that posts a balanced wages provision and produces an STP Phase 2-shaped handover for your payroll provider — MDMS hands earnings to your provider rather than calculating payroll itself.
What's included

- WHS incidents, hazards and corrective actions

How it works
- Add employees with their role, employment basis, manager and contact details — with a full audit trail on every change.
- Managers see their direct and indirect reports; HR sees the whole directory and org chart; each employee sees and updates only their own profile.
- Staff request leave and submit timesheets; managers approve; balances, accruals and payable hours are tracked against the NES.
- Run training, competency and WHS records, with licence expiry, hazards and corrective actions surfaced before they lapse.
- Assemble a pay run from approved hours and leave, post a balanced wages provision to the ledger, and produce an STP-shaped handover for your payroll provider.
- Payroll-privileged staff manage encrypted tax, bank and super details, with every reveal of a full number recorded for compliance.
