Mandata Becomes FORS Associate | Drive Safer, Greener & More Efficient Fleet Operations

We’re proud to have just become a FORS Associate, supporting safer, greener, and more efficient operations.

With a Mandata TMS, operators can store all compliance information in one place, simplifying certification, and use technology like route optimisation, digital document management, and safety monitoring through tools like digital vehicle inspections and driver behaviour driving greater sustainable efficiencies.

As a FORS Associate, Mandata now offers exclusive discounts to FORS members who become new customers.

What is FORS?

The Fleet Operator Recognition Scheme (FORS) is a voluntary, industry‑led accreditation scheme that helps fleet operators improve road safety, operational efficiency and environmental performance. Widely recognised across the UK, FORS sets clear best‑practice standards, giving operators a structured way to demonstrate compliance, reduce risk, cut costs and gain a competitive advantage within their supply chain.

5 ways the Mandata TMS can support your FORS accreditation?

As a FORS member, managing compliance, evidence, and ongoing accreditation can be time‑consuming. A Mandata Transport Management System (TMS) is designed to simplify this process – helping haulage operators meet FORS standards more efficiently while supporting safer, greener, and more cost‑effective operations.

1) Centralised Compliance Management

Mandata TMS provides a single, secure platform to store and manage all the information required to support FORS accreditation. From policies and documentation to vehicle, driver, and operational data, everything is held in one place – reducing administration and eliminating the need for manually tracking information across multiple systems.

2) Simplified FORS Recertification

Preparing for FORS audits and recertification is easier when your data is organised and accessible. Mandata TMS helps you collate and maintain compliance evidence throughout the year, saving time and effort when renewal periods arrive.

3) Improved Communication and Best Practice

Keeping drivers and employees informed of regulatory updates and best practices is a key part of FORS compliance. With Team Admin, Mandata’s digital communication tool, operators can efficiently share policies, updates, and key messages – ensuring teams stay informed and aligned with FORS standards.

4) Greater Operational Efficiency

By integrating compliance management into day‑to‑day transport operations, Mandata TMS helps FORS members reduce manual processes, improve visibility, and identify opportunities to operate more efficiently, supporting both compliance and profitability.

5) Supporting Safer and More Sustainable Operations

Mandata TMS supports data‑driven decision‑making, helping operators demonstrate their commitment to road safety, environmental responsibility, and continuous improvement – the core principles of the FORS scheme.

Using Mandata Tracking and Telematics, operators can monitor vehicle and driver behaviour, enabling safer driving practices to be identified, encouraged, and reinforced. The Vehicle Checks app provides early visibility of defects, ensuring issues are addressed promptly while keeping traffic planners and maintenance teams fully informed.

Built‑in Route Optimisation helps hauliers plan the most efficient routes, reducing unnecessary mileage, fuel consumption, and emissions – supporting a more sustainable and environmentally efficient operation.
