Job Execution

There’s no doubt that Mandata’s system is proving extremely beneficial.

We can track deliveries in real time, checking on the status of a job at the press of a button. I can also see a job’s history – it’s easy to find out where drivers have been. This improves our planning capabilities and saves considerable time.

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

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 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.

Our long-standing relationship with Mandata has been built upon a partnership approach which has seen a continued increase in the range of services we utilise.

The integrated TMS, Scanning, Accounts, Tracking & Telematics and Workshop packages ensures we can access all business critical information at the touch of button.

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 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.

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.
