Investment type
- Secondary buyout
Newcastle-headquartered Mandata designs and develops software that allows road transport operators to manage workflow and data more effectively.
From its offices in Newcastle, Leeds, London and Leicestershire, the business supports its customers with compliance, improving productivity, delivering efficiency savings, reducing carbon emissions and provides real-time visibility of their operations.
Partnering for growth
LDC invested in Mandata in May 2018 to support the business’ growth strategy and build on its position as a market leading transport technology provider.
LDC backed Mandata’s acquisitive growth strategy, working alongside the management team to complete two major acquisitions.
In 2020 LDC provided follow-on funding to help the business to acquire Returnloads.net, and in 2021 Mandata completed the acquisition of Stirling Solutions. The acquisitions further expanded its customer base and breadth of digital services.
Continued support
LDC partially exited its investment in Mandata to Tenzing in October 2021. LDC continues to support Mandata’s growth ambitions through its minority stake in the business.
In 2022, Mandata completed the acquisition of Eureka Information Systems, a privately owned provider of transport and logistics software solutions in Ireland.
