Plan Complex, Multiple Resource Jobs With Total Confidence

Multi‑Resource Planning for Mandata Go TMS

When a job involves more than one vehicle, crew member or escort, planning can quickly become messy. Details get scattered. People get misaligned. And last‑minute changes create chaos.

Multi‑Resource Planning in Mandata Go TMS removes that complexity.
It gives you a single, clear way to plan every vehicle, person and piece of equipment involved in a job — all under one load number — so your team stays coordinated and your operation runs smoothly.

Why it matters for your business

1. Keep every moving part aligned

Whether you’re managing heavy haulage, specialist transport or white‑glove deliveries, you often need more than just a truck and a driver.
With Multi‑Resource Planning, you can link escort vehicles, additional drivers, specialist crews, extra trailers and subcontractors to one job.
Everyone sees the same plan. Everyone stays in sync.

2. Reduce planning errors and rework

When all supporting resources are tied to a single load, planners no longer need to track separate notes, spreadsheets or job numbers.
This means:

• Fewer missed escorts
• Fewer forgotten crew members
• Fewer assumptions
• Less duplication of work

Your team plans faster — and with far more accuracy.

3. Adapt instantly when plans change

If timings shift or a job rolls into the next day, all linked resources move automatically with the main load.
No manual updates. No chasing people. No risk of something being left behind.

4. Bring clarity to complex movements

Supporting resources can be selected from your TMS or added as free text — ideal for subcontractors or one‑off escorts.
Optional categories (e.g., “Police Escort”, “Own Escort Vehicle”) help you keep plans tidy and easy to understand.

Everything can appear on manifests, loading lists and delivery notes, and if additional drivers or crew use the Manifest App, they see the same job as the main driver.

5. Build multi‑manned loads in seconds

Quick Build now includes supporting resources, allowing you to create complete multi‑resource jobs in one step.
Perfect for fast‑moving operations where time is tight.

How it works for planners

Multi‑Resource Planning gives planners a clearer, more reliable way to manage complex jobs:

• Full visibility of every vehicle, person and asset involved
• Confidence that nothing gets missed
• Flexibility to reflect how jobs actually run
• Control when plans shift or customers change requirements

It’s a planning experience built for real‑world logistics — not theoretical workflows.

Proven in the field

Developed in partnership with operators handling oversized loads and specialist movements, this feature is shaped by real operational challenges.

As Robert Brookes, Head of Transport & Warehousing at Allely’s, put it:

“We can now allocate additional resources — trucks, trailers, people or escort vehicles — to a single load. It’s a big step forward for us. You can push a plan forward or backward and retain all that support resource against the job.”

A smarter way to plan complex transport

If your operation relies on multiple vehicles, crews or escorts, Multi‑Resource Planning gives you the clarity, control and confidence you need to deliver every job right first time.
