Plan, monitor, invoice & report on all the work you do with one system.

We use the different TMS Traffic Pads to divide work up into our different traffic areas (Northern Ireland, Southern Ireland and UK) and from that, we can see what vehicles are where and exactly where we need to plan more work in, it’s very impressive. Equally, the accounts integration and eInvoicing modules are just amazing, and the POD scanning system has been a god send.

Before we adopted the TMS, I would manually scan the PODs to send to customers each month, and the customers would be on the phone constantly chasing for them, now, every POD is sent out with the correct invoice automatically, we don’t even hear from the customers!

Bishopsgate has always been at the forefront of technological progress. We liken ourselves to a speedboat rather than a tanker!

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.

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.

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.

The Mandata TMS has changed our business by enabling us to grow.

Having a good TMS with real-time information at your fingertips is vital. It allows us to offer a good service and react quickly to customers’ needs.

All of our customers can log in to and print PODs, so we just send all of our invoices out by email via the Mandata TMS.  Our Customers can then can see the job number, view and print the matching POD documents as they need and the job’s done. The system provides customers with complete visibility and helps keep them informed, it’s great.

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.

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.

With the Mandata TMS in place we can now comfortably manage between 400 and 500 jobs per day.

The flexibility of the system has allowed us to grow to the size that we are now.

Without a doubt, if we hadn’t had Mandata on board we couldn’t have gotten to where we are today.
