Mandata’s transport management systems (TMS) help road transport operators to digitise their waste transport process.
Transporting sensitive, highly regulated loads requires attention to detail and compliance at the highest level. Minimise the possibility of human error and streamline each part of the job by using a TMS that delivers best-in-class features for waste transport.
“We looked at a range of transport management systems and when we had the Mandata GoPlus demo, we could just see everything we did in it. There was every piece of the puzzle, and all those pieces talked to each other.”
HH Tankering went from manual transport planning methods via pen and paper, to using Mandata’s transport management systems, and they haven’t looked back.
The Government announced new legislation that will be introduced in 2025, enforcing waste haulage operators to digitally track their waste transport. From the point of collection, right through to the final destination, your waste needs to be tracked.
Using Mandata TMS software, transport businesses that move waste can get their operations ready for these regulation changes, and start managing waste transport in the most efficient way.
Eliminate the risk of lost documents with a Mandata TMS. Waste transfer notes, weighbridge tickets and other important proof documents are uploaded electronically through the driver’s Manifests app. Once uploaded, all documentation will be sent to the TMS in real time, linking to the job record. These documents are stored indefinitely and are accessible at any time by the haulier via the TMS, or to the customer via the online portal.
Repeat job schedules can be set up within a Mandata TMS to drastically cut down on administration time, wasted through keying in repeat jobs. This allows planners to schedule jobs day, weeks, or even months in advance.
Mandata’s TMS comes with numerous reports that match the template of the EA and can identify waste coming into a site and waste leaving a site – including EWC, Municipal Source, Degradable, State etc. These reports can be generated in seconds by the TMS, and sent to the EA within a few clicks.
Drivers are notified of any changes to a live job via push notifications directly to the Driver’s Manifests app. Planners will see in real-time when a driver has acknowledged the changes thanks to automatic updates in the TMS. If additional communication is required, there is two-way communication between the driver’s app and the TMS.
The Mandata TMS system helps planners identify and build radial collection routes, ensuring the shortest distances between each stop. The short-distance technology within the TMS providers planners routes with miles cut down, helping to save money, reduce empty running, and ultimately save running costs.
Driver’s can easily upload images to a job record, that can then be sent to the customer, proving the driver was there. The app timestamps any images and signatures collected on each job, with precise geo-location tags showing exactly where a document was signed, giving staff and customers complete traceability of jobs.
Mandata’s TMS delivers on a range of must-have features for waste transfer operations, including complete visibility of the waste progress throughout transportation, report and document generation, and features to support adherence to compliance.
The Manifests app is not only easier to use, but takes some of the pressure off drivers. Once they have that signature and it’s automatically fed into our TMS system, they can get on to the next job and not need to worry about gathering up bundles of paperwork for the accounts department.
By automating our manual processes, the Mandata TMS has helped to organise us, and has saved us considerable time and costs along the way. We’ve got full traceability on all of our jobs from the booking stage through to invoicing, and we can recall waste consignment notes and PODs quickly and easily.
By automating our manual processes, the system has helped us to save hours in admin time, and just generally be more organised. We’ve got full traceability on all of our jobs from the booking stage through to invoicing, and we can recall consignment notes and PODs quickly and easily because everything is contained within the one system.
