UK-based Transport Management System (TMS) software provider Mandata (Management and Data Services), has partnered with AI route optimisation specialist Optimize, to give road haulage operators in the UK and Ireland, access to AI-powered route optimisation, in one software platform. The collaboration will see Mandata integrate its TMS products (Enterprise, GoPlus, Go and Eureka’s MoveIT) with the optimisation algorithms from Optimize, enabling its customers to achieve higher levels of fleet performance through smarter, more sustainable route planning, the companies say.
According to Mandata, the new AI-enhanced TMS solutions will speed up job planning and work processes, while unlocking operational and environmental benefits for operators across multiple sectors. As one of the UK’s optimisation providers, Optimize helps businesses of all types to improve efficiency through interaction with its web-based platform. Powered by advanced AI algorithms, its solutions are proven to deliver savings of up to 30%, while streamlining operations and bringing greater transparency.
Mandata’s TMS solutions are used by hauliers in all sectors of the transport industry, including general haulage, bulk, heavy haulage, palletised freight and specialist logistics.
“We’re delighted to have partnered with the team at Mandata. Embedding our optimisation algorithms into the range of TMS solutions that Mandata offers will give users the benefits of both systems through a single interface, which makes obvious sense,” explains Optimize CEO, Colin Ferguson.
First to be integrated will be Mandata’s Enterprise TMS, which will be followed by Mandata Go/GoPlus TMS and, in Ireland, Eureka’s MoveIT.
“This is the start of an exciting journey into AI for our team and customers, and we’re delighted to be working in partnership with the Optimize team, bringing the very latest route optimisation solutions to market through our TMS products,” says Tony English, chief executive at Mandata.
