TMS

The main benefit of working with Mandata is that we don’t need to go to anybody else – all the services we need are offered by Mandata. They managed the transition to our new systems carefully and provided excellent support and back-up along the way.

We started out with 4 regular customers, 6 drivers and a paper-based manual system.  We now manage over 100 accounts and the Mandata TMS is actively helping us to manage our growth, without having to employ additional staff.

Because of the nature of the business, we found it difficult to find a transport management system which could work for us; but Mandata gave us the option to create bespoke functionality to suit our way of working, and we’ve never looked back.

We often face the challenge of slotting numerous timed deliveries within runs.  The system enables us to look at the best fit across multiple vehicles and route them in such a way that we optimise manpower, fleet utilisation and meet demanding timescales.

It’s the visualisation of runs and their impact on the business that is helping to simplify operations and reduce costs at Relay.

We use Mandata across our business with links to all depots and information about traffic planning, vehicle tracking, drivers and workshop operations.

It’s a very efficient transport management tool that provides us with immediate access to all the important information we need in one place. We are very happy with it.

Mandata TMS gives an accurate real-time picture of all planned routes including empty legs between loads, enabling us to identify and address any vehicles carrying empty trailers over excessive miles.

This facility is leading to definite benefits in improved load allocation, operational efficiency as well as helping meet an increasing growth in demand for our services.

It’s often difficult to admit that a new system is the right system. Since adopting the Mandata Cloud TMS, we’ve had no regrets at all, it’s the best thing since sliced bread!

The level of detail we’re getting from the TMS is brilliant. The job planning and load building functionality within the Traffic Pad works really well, and the way that we can scan PODs and attach them to invoices helps us to save admin time.

Fundamental to our operational success are our Mandata systems which give us the functionality to plan effectively and provide visibility throughout all stages of our work delivering and installing high value equipment for blue chip companies.

Our strong working relationship with Mandata enables us to continually innovate and provide transparency, control and flexibility to meet customer’s ever changing needs and maximise business efficiency.

The level of visibility provided by our Mandata systems enables us to react quickly to the everyday requirements of an often challenging sector, and provides our customers with added confidence that their goods are in safe hands.

Being able to report on volumes of used oil we collect and the recycled oil we deliver has taken the guess-work out of what we do. We also give customers access to live data. We can provide a high level of detail which differentiates us as a business; fuelling the growth in new business for us.

With the Mandata system in place, we’re managing our workload better, planning routes around scheduled jobs, and incorporating any ad-hoc work we receive easily, all the while monitoring the weights of products being collected and delivered.
