Overview

Prestige Pipelaying, a leading civil engineering and utility contractor, operates a diverse fleet across multiple regional locations. Managing a sprawling infrastructure requires precise coordination and accurate data. However, with critical transport metrics scattered across disconnected systems, the team needed a way to consolidate their data to protect their bottom line.

By partnering with Fleevo, Prestige Pipelaying unified their fragmented data streams into a single source of truth—unlocking the insights needed to eliminate waste, lower admin hours, and confidently drive continuous operational improvement.

“Fleevo has given us the level of visibility over our data that we were previously missing. It has become an important part of our transport management toolkit.” > — Lawrence Setchell, Head of Fleet at Prestige Pipelaying

The Challenge

Operating a diverse fleet across multiple sites naturally introduces back-office complexity. For Prestige Pipelaying, the primary bottleneck was fragmented information. Key metrics—including fuel spend, vehicle maintenance expenditure, third-party fines, overall asset costs, and driver performance—were spread across a variety of disconnected sources.

This data fragmentation created several operational hurdles:

• High Administrative Burden: Significant time was wasted manually gathering and reconciling spreadsheets and portal data.
• Limited Visibility: Disconnected data made it difficult for leadership to spot broader inefficiencies, trends, or hidden operational risks.
• Delayed Decision-Making: Without an immediate, comprehensive overview of total fleet cost, proactively managing expenses and challenging unnecessary vendor expenditure was a constant uphill battle.

The Solution

Prestige Pipelaying implemented Fleevo to integrate their various transport management and cost systems into a single, intuitive platform.

By centralising their operational data, Fleevo provided the fleet team with:

• A Single Source of Truth: Complete consolidation of fuel card spend, vehicle maintenance receipts, operational fines, and asset performance metrics.
• Exception-Based Monitoring: Automated workflows that highlight cost anomalies and unnecessary spend without requiring hours of manual data mining.
• Tailored Fleet Insights: Meaningful dashboards designed around Prestige Pipelaying's specific multi-location structure, allowing the team to cross-examine cost trends easily.

“The Fleevo team have been knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely interested in understanding our operational requirements. They have been proactive in supporting us, listening to feedback, and developing solutions that provide real value rather than offering a one-size-fits-all approach.”  

— Lawrence Setchell, Head of Fleet

The Impact & Results

The partnership has delivered widespread operational efficiency and tighter cost control across the organisation. Key highlights include:

• Drastic Reduction in Admin Time: Eliminating the need to manually collate data from multiple sources has freed up valuable back-office hours to focus on strategic tasks.
• Proactive Expenditure Control: Armed with readily available, accurate cost data, the fleet team can confidently challenge unnecessary expenses and identify immediate areas for cost-saving initiatives.
• Strengthened Compliance & Reporting: Consistent, reliable reporting outputs provide a stronger foundation for corporate compliance and long-term continuous improvement goals.
• Informed Decision-Making: Identifying long-term fleet trends that were previously buried across disconnected platforms is now seamless.

“I would recommend Fleevo to any organisation looking to gain greater control and visibility of their fleet operation. The platform provides meaningful data that supports informed decision-making, while the team behind it are committed to helping customers achieve the best possible outcomes.”

— Lawrence Setchell, Head of Fleet

Conclusion

For a business operating across multiple locations, access to reliable, centralized data is no longer a luxury—it’s an operational necessity. Fleevo has successfully armed Prestige Pipelaying with the automated insights required to strengthen reporting, lower costs, and support their ongoing commitment to fleet compliance and operational excellence.
