Meet Fleet Space Technologies: Connecting the World Through Space

Fleet Space Technologies is one of Australia’s most exciting high-growth startups. Through its breakthrough satellite technology, Fleet is transforming connectivity across industries like mining, energy, and logistics—solving real-world problems with space-age innovation. As their global team expanded rapidly, Fleet knew their internal people systems had to evolve with the same speed and precision. To support their growing workforce, maintain compliance, and deliver a consistent employee experience across regions, they needed a scalable, centralised HR platform—delivered fast.

The Challenge: A Global Workforce with No Central HR System

Fleet’s operations spanned multiple geographies, with new hires onboarding monthly across different time zones and employment frameworks. But their internal HR operations hadn’t kept pace. Key challenges included: 

  • No Unified Platform: HR tasks were being handled manually or across disconnected tools—leading to inefficiencies, missed steps, and increased risk. 
  • Inconsistent Global Processes: With employees across multiple countries, there was no scalable way to standardise onboarding, documentation, or compliance. 
  • Limited Workforce Visibility: Leadership had little access to real-time people data, and HR reporting was reactive and time-consuming. 
  • High Expectations for Employee Experience: As a leading tech employer, Fleet wanted a platform that would meet the expectations of a modern, global workforce. 

Fleet had already selected a powerful HRIS. Now, they needed the right partner to lead the rollout—end to end. 

The Approach: Multi-Module, Multi-Region, Delivered in 98 Days

Digital Directions was engaged as the implementation delivery partner to lead a global rollout of Fleet’s HRIS platform, spanning four major modules across multiple countries, with a focus on scalability, adoption, and user experience. 

Here’s how we did it: 

  1. Defining a Global MVP for People Operations

We partnered with Fleet’s People & Culture leadership to align on an ambitious—but achievable—MVP scope across four key modules: Core HR, Onboarding, Time Off, and Document Management. The goal: deliver value fast without sacrificing quality or flexibility. 

  1. Building for Scale and Simplicity

We configured the system with a global structure in mind—managing multiple entity policies, approval flows, document templates, and user permissions to support Fleet’s growing workforce across regions. 

  1. Seamless Employee Rollout

We supported a clean and consistent rollout to 120+ employees globally, ensuring that the onboarding experience—from access to training—was smooth, accessible, and aligned with Fleet’s brand. 

  1. Enabling Long-Term Success

Alongside implementation, we delivered training, change management, and post-go-live support to ensure adoption at every level—from leadership to new starters. 

 

The Outcome: A Global HR System Built for Hyper-Growth

In just 98 days, Fleet Space Technologies successfully launched a comprehensive HR system across their global workforce, covering four foundational modules and enabling immediate operational improvements. 

Key outcomes included: 

  • One Platform, Globally: A single, centralised HR system for employee records, onboarding, leave, and compliance—accessible from anywhere. 
  • Consistent Processes Across Regions: Tailored configuration supported regional workflows, while maintaining global consistency. 
  • Improved Visibility: Real-time dashboards and reports gave Fleet’s leadership better insight into workforce trends, headcount, and onboarding progress. 
  • Faster, Smarter People Operations: Fleet’s People team reduced admin burden and improved employee experience from day one. 

Built for Velocity. Ready for the Future.

Fleet’s mission is bold—and their HR systems now match it. With the right technology in place, configured for their structure and scale, Fleet is equipped to continue growing its global workforce with confidence and control. At Digital Directions, we were proud to bring deep implementation experience and startup agility to this fast-paced project—delivering high value in under 100 days.
