Mandata is a UK‑based technology company that specialises in delivering transport management software (TMS) designed specifically for the road transport, haulage, and logistics sectors. Founded in 1974, Mandata has spent more than 50 years developing software solutions that help haulage operators manage the daily complexities of running a transport business—from job planning and vehicle tracking to invoicing and customer communications. The company’s long history and deep industry knowledge mean it understands the practical challenges faced by transport operators and builds its products with those real‑world needs in mind.
Mandata’s core offering is its integrated transport management system, which unifies multiple aspects of haulage business operations into a single platform. The software helps users streamline processes such as order entry, job planning, driver and vehicle scheduling, live job monitoring, proof of delivery (POD) capture, and automated invoicing—all within one connected system. By bringing these functions together, Mandata enables companies to reduce duplication, save time, and improve overall operational efficiency. Its software also integrates with third‑party systems such as accounting packages, pallet network feeds and customer ERP systems, giving operators a consolidated view of their data and workflows.
Mandata serves a large and diverse customer base across the UK and Ireland, including many of the country’s leading haulage firms. Its TMS products are designed to suit a range of business sizes, from smaller fleets to large, multi‑depot operators. In recent years, Mandata has continued to innovate its technology, introducing cloud‑based solutions and mobile applications that support real‑time visibility and in‑cab communications for drivers. The company has also partnered with AI route‑optimisation specialists to embed machine‑learning‑driven planning tools directly into its software, offering customers smarter, more efficient scheduling capabilities.
Headquartered in Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom, with additional offices such as Leeds, Mandata combines a strong regional presence with a broad national footprint. The business is certified to recognised quality and security standards such as ISO 27001 and ISO 9001, reflecting its commitment to data protection and service quality. Backed by private equity investment and a growing team of experienced professionals, Mandata continues to evolve its product suite to meet the changing needs of the logistics industry, helping transport operators run more profitable, resilient and technology‑enabled businesses.
