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.

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.

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.

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.

TMS Go! enables our planners in particular to see what’s happening across the business on a daily basis.

This helps us to be far more responsive, driving up quality standards in the process. It’s helping our business to adapt and grow in a very fluid and competitive industry sector.

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.

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.

Because the pallet network involves partial loads, where there is one pallet going here, one pallet going there, it would be quite easy to lose sight of what pallet is going where!

But Mandata controls everything, it even helps us to control what freight we put into the pallet network so we can monitor our quantities.  With Mandata, we can keep track of our entire operation at the press of a button.

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.
