Abstract

Purpose: This study examines the role and operational benefits of Human Resource Information Systems (HRIS) at PT Lintas Dewata Cargo, an Indonesian air cargo freight-forwarding company. As logistics operations become increasingly data-driven, HRIS plays an important role in improving workforce management, employee data accuracy, and inter-departmental coordination.

Research Methodology: A qualitative descriptive case study approach was employed. Data were collected through structured field observations conducted during an internship program and semi-structured interviews with key informants. The analysis focused on facilities and infrastructure, workforce management, work procedures, and implementation of the inter-line cooperation system.

Results: The findings indicate that HRIS integrates three subsystems—the Accounting Information System, HR Research Subsystem, and HR Intelligence Subsystem—within a centralized database that supports administrative, operational, and strategic HR functions. Supporting infrastructure includes computer units, a connected e-cargo system, and document-processing facilities. HRIS also facilitates coordination among the warehouse, packing house, and regulated agent through integrated data flows.

Conclusions: HRIS implementation improved the speed and accuracy of HR administrative processes, strengthened compliance with aviation cargo security requirements, and enhanced workforce coordination across operational units.

Limitations: The study was limited to a single company and observation period, restricting the generalizability of the findings. The qualitative approach also did not allow quantitative measurement of HRIS performance impacts.

Contributions: This study provides empirical evidence on HRIS implementation in Indonesian air cargo logistics and offers practical insights for logistics organizations pursuing HR digitalization initiatives.
