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.
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.
Optimize helps businesses of all types to improve efficiency through interaction with its web-based platform.
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 - to manage their work with greater efficiency and visibility. From job creation and planning to job execution, proof of delivery and invoicing, managers are assured of greater visibility and tight control during every stage of the delivery process.
“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,” explained 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,” said Tony English, chief executive at Mandata.
Kevin Marshall, Mandata’s technical director, said: “Our new TMS-to-Optimize AI Route Optimisation solution will be a fast-onboarding process for our customers. With ready-made integration and one interface, they will be able to enjoy all the benefits that Optimize can bring, in their TMS.”
