Gain real-time visibility of your haulage operation. Ensure work is going to plan.

We continually look to add value to our customers. Access to real-time data around fuel usage, economy and vehicle wear-and-tear thanks to tracking and driver behaviour technology, enables us to reduce fuel and maintenance costs further, producing savings that we can then pass on to customers.

As well as providing peace-of-mind, it will enable us to meet our obligation to provide fleet emission reports as a FORS member. This will include evidential information about CO² emissions data and fleet performance, illustrating how we are reducing vehicle environmental impact.

Mandata provides our business with the online integrated transport management system we require, working with us to provide the enhanced business solution our customers demand.

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.

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.

With streamlined administration, we can now see the wood for the trees and we’ve got full traceability and accountability across the Group.

By automating manual processes we’ve made big improvements to the way we work and have been able to achieve efficiencies in all areas of the business.

We felt we were outpacing our old TMS. We realised we needed a new system that would work with us to help us move the business on in the direction we wanted it to go.

One of the things we liked straight away about the Mandata system was the overall visibility. You can find out everything you need to know about a consignment from within the TMS, without having to go combing through loads of notes.

We plan jobs against 1,000+ drivers and that number is growing all of the time. With Mandata’s Traffic Pad we can manipulate drivers and loads dynamically and fluidly whilst managing change effectively throughout the day.

The Traffic Pad gives us greater visibility and it makes the performance of the planner more efficient.  They can see jobs and available drivers and bring them all together to plan and process multiple jobs at a time.

We moved away from on-board tracking to give us greater visibility and control over our operations.  By combining our Mandata TMS with Mandata’s tracking everything is under one roof making the business easier to manage.

As a business we continually strive to improve upon where we are today and the integrated system enables us to work smarter, not harder.

The information provided in real-time enables us to source any empty trailers and locate units for inspection. In this way, we have been able to review our resources, and identify that we could reduce the whole fleet to run a leaner, smarter operation.

In turn, this has seen a reduction of 10% in trailer numbers. Any savings that this provides is being ploughed back into the business to ensure customers continue to receive the highest level of service.
