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.

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.

We are confident the system will improve workload optimisation long term for our own fleet and pallet network, along with greatly enhanced driver communication and customer visibility.

Adopting the technology reflects automation of our current manual systems and better service levels. It also provides an extremely cost effective, flexible modular solution, which can be quickly scaled-up to provide even more added value as we expand fleet operations in the next 12 months.

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.

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.

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.

Mandata has integrated within our core functions and processes, providing both operational and management enhancements.

The system flexibility has ensured the successful implementation to our UK and International tanker divisions, linking the TMS, tracking and mobile applications for improved data capture and reducing operator workload.

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.
