From Paper Piles to Instant Invoicing:
Bartmac Ltd’s First 6 Months with TransMaS
March 2026
Edward Sykes, Director of Bartmac Ltd., took over the long-standing construction haulage firm in April 2025. The firm has been serving the haulage needs of the construction industry since 1974, and while the foundations were strong and they had an excellent team, the day-to-day admin was still heavily manual. By August, Edward moved the operation onto TransMaS to get away from the paperwork that was slowing the office down.
Moving Away from Manual Entry
Before TransMaS, the biggest frustration at Bartmac was the sheer volume of paperwork. The office had to wait for physical tickets before they could invoice customers or settle queries. "It slowed everything down and created unnecessary hurdles," Edward explains.
Switching was a major decision for the business. "Getting the whole team to adapt felt daunting," he says. And there was the common concern of adopting a new system: Will this actually deliver the value promised? Getting all of the drivers up to speed was a challenge with competing schedules, but the results were worth it.
Faster Planning and Instant Billing
Six months in, the office runs very differently. The Scheduler Screen has become the main tool the team relies on every day. Planning is faster, and job details are sent to drivers with just one click. The delays in invoicing have vanished, now that billing can happen as soon as a load is signed for.
"TransMaS has helped make Bartmac a far more dynamic business." Edward Sykes, Director of Bartmac Ltd.
"Customers now have visibility of what we’re doing, and trust has definitely risen," says Edward. The back office has felt the change, too; by downloading weekly earnings directly from the system, Bartmac has cut their payroll processing time by at least half and stopped the need to type out every driver’s work manually.
When looking back at the old way of working, Edward’s takeaway is simple: "When I think about it now, it’s hard to imagine how we used to manage without TransMaS."
