Traffic Planning (Full Load / Multi-Drop) for Hauliers

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.

Mandata has automated time consuming manual tasks. Being able to print waste transfer notes from the Mandata TMS has saved time and improved accuracy.

The system automatically attaches job documentation to invoices and emails them out to customers. Once a fortnightly activity, invoicing is now a daily routine at Waters Waste and we’ve found customers pay quicker as a result; debtor days have almost halved from 60 – 90 days to 40 days.

Mandata TMS gives an accurate real-time picture of all planned routes including empty legs between loads, enabling us to identify and address any vehicles carrying empty trailers over excessive miles.

This facility is leading to definite benefits in improved load allocation, operational efficiency as well as helping meet an increasing growth in demand for our services.

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.

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.

It’s often difficult to admit that a new system is the right system. Since adopting the Mandata Cloud TMS, we’ve had no regrets at all, it’s the best thing since sliced bread!

The level of detail we’re getting from the TMS is brilliant. The job planning and load building functionality within the Traffic Pad works really well, and the way that we can scan PODs and attach them to invoices helps us to save admin time.

The Mandata transport management system has supported the growth of our business over the past twelve years.

Through our strong partnership with Mandata we are continually innovating to improve internal efficiency and implement effective solutions which meet the changing needs of our business and our customers.

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.
