Comparison

HaulierMagic vs Mandata

Mandata is one of the UK's longest-established transport software providers. If you are juggling its separate apps for ePOD, checks and navigation, or running Go on a Windows desktop, here is a fair look at how the two compare, and who each one suits.

Side by side

An honest look at both.

The established incumbent

Mandata

  • Founded in 1974 and focused only on UK and Ireland road transport.
  • Split across two systems: Mandata Go for 10 to 50 vehicles, and Enterprise for larger, more complex fleets.
  • ePOD, walkaround checks and navigation are delivered through separate apps.
  • Strong compliance credentials, including ISO 27001 and Cyber Essentials Plus.
  • Mandata Go runs as a Windows desktop application.
The modern all-in-one

HaulierMagic

  • Built UK-first for haulage, with planning, tracking, compliance and invoicing in one system.
  • Fully web-based, so it runs in any browser on any device with nothing to install.
  • One product that scales from a single truck to a larger fleet, with no separate tiers.
  • ePOD, DVSA checks and HGV-safe routing are built in, not bolted on as extra apps.
  • Quick to roll out and simple for planners and drivers to pick up.
  • Keeps the tools you already use, from your tracker to Xero, with core features included rather than split across add-ons.
  • Highly configurable, with lots of settings, so it fits the way your team already works instead of forcing a new process.

Which is right for you

There is no single right answer.

Both are capable. It comes down to how you run, and what you want to spend your time on.

Choose Mandata if

  • You run a larger or more complex operation that needs deep configuration.
  • You want a long-established vendor with a wide enterprise feature set.
  • You are comfortable with a tiered product and a longer implementation.

Choose HaulierMagic if

  • You run a small to mid-sized UK fleet and want one complete system.
  • You want everything web-based and in one place, without separate apps or tiers.
  • You want to be up and running quickly, with little training.
  • You would rather not pay for ePOD, checks and navigation as separate apps.
  • You want the system to fit your existing processes, not change how your team works.
