Supporting Fleet Operations with Better Visibility and Service

Supporting Fleet Operations with Better Visibility and Service

BWE Group Inc., a multi-disciplined construction company based in Canonsburg, Pennsylvania, specializes in slip repair, dirt work, fabrication, pipe maintenance, and roustabout services throughout the Appalachian region. Operating a fleet of 40 gas-powered vehicles and consuming approximately 50,000 gallons of fuel annually, maintaining control over fuel expenses is critical to daily operations. Prior to partnering with Guttman Energy Fleet Solutions, the company faced challenges related to invoicing, limited reporting visibility, additional program fees, and a lack of transparency within their existing fuel program.

A Transparent Solution Built on Trust and Communication

The relationship began in October 2024 when Guttman Energy Fleet Solutions Representative Barb Zearley connected with BWE Group to review their fuel management program. Although the company had worked with the same provider for years and was initially hesitant to make a change, a detailed program analysis identified opportunities to improve reporting, reduce unnecessary fees, and strengthen cost control. Throughout the transition, Barb and the Guttman Energy team maintained consistent communication, direct accessibility, and a proactive approach that helped build trust and reinforce the long-term value of the program.

Improved Visibility, Reliable Support, and Long-Term Value

Since implementing the Guttman Energy Fleet Fuel Card, BWE Group has experienced improved reporting visibility, easier account access, and stronger overall cost control. Enhanced reporting tools and greater transparency have simplified fuel management while providing better insight into purchasing activity and monthly expenses. As Mike Pankowski, Chief Operating Officer of BWE Group, shared, “Customer service is better than any we have experienced thus far. The reporting and ease of access are also great. The availability of the support team and willingness to help in any way possible has really stood out.” Following the success of the program, BWE Group also expanded the relationship by adding two sister companies, further reinforcing the value and reliability of the Guttman Energy Fleet Fuel Card.
