Easily scan goods and pallets

Keep track of individual goods using barcodes, providing more control to your drivers at the point of collection and delivery, and giving you better visibility of issues out in the field. The Manifest App allows drivers to:

  • Add unexpected goods to an existing load
  • Mark individual goods as non-conformed / missing
  • Assign goods to a location such as a bay or driver’s vehicle
  • Record temperatures of individual goods

Why Mandata

What our Manifest customers have to say

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.

Director, Universal Tanker Solutions Ltd

The Manifests app has made our driver’s lives easier, as there’s less paperwork to keep in the cab and work through. Our drivers have more information about their delivery or collection points on their smartphones, and they can see addresses, any special instructions, phone numbers, route or access restrictions too.

Ross Edden, Managing Director, TWE Haulage Limited

One of the main benefits for me, is the electronic proof of delivery which speeds up our invoicing process. As Invoices are created in the TMS and PODs automatically attached and emailed out to customers, invoicing is now much quicker and easier, which means less admin for our accounts team and better cash flow. It is definitely saving us time across the board.
