Route planning is getting harder - not easier

Planners are under constant pressure:
– Tight delivery windows
– Increasing volumes
– Fewer resources
– Rising fuel costs

Manual route planning means:
– Trial‑and‑error load building
– Last‑minute reshuffles
– Stressful timed deliveries
– Hours lost before a truck even leaves the yard

Mandata Optimiser removes the pressure – not the planner.

Mandata TMS for all your haulage planning needs

Optimisation that supports planners - it doesn’t replace them

Mandata Optimiser automatically builds the most efficient route and load plan based on:
– Mileage
– Delivery sequences
– Vehicle constraints
– Timed delivery windows
– Job and drop priorities

But the planner stays in control:
– Reviews the suggested plan
– Makes changes if needed
– Approves the final route

Optimiser simply handles the heavy lifting.

Take the most cost effective route to planning collection and deliveries

Using Mandata with built-in Optimiser, powered by Optimize.

Route Optimisation FAQ

Route optimisation software calculates the most efficient routes for haulage vehicles to complete collections and deliveries by considering factors like distance and delivery time windows.

Using integrated TMS and route optimisation software hauliers can: reduce the miles they travel, lowering fuel costs, reducing empty miles, cO2 emissions.  It saves time planning and refining the plan and customer service can be improved (by planning to time windows) as you can avoid overcommitting your fleet, you’re more likely to be on time.

Route optimisation software is suitable for any haulier or own account operator, that wants to increase the efficiency of their fleet, but the greatest improvements will be seen by hauliers who handle multi-drop loads.

No, we have partnered with Optimize, a specialist in AI Route Optimisation.  The software is built into our software, which makes it easier for planners to use as they no longer have to go between multiple systems. Just click a button to optimise loads, see the results and make changes, if required.
