Case Study: Vivergo Fuels

Vivergo Fuels runs one of the UK’s largest bioethanol plants, bringing in thousands of tonnes of wheat and sending out fuel every day. With so many vehicles moving around a large industrial site, things had become difficult to control.

Lorries were turning up in the wrong places. There was no easy way to see what was happening across the site in real time. Compliance checks took too long and relied on messy paper trails. And because the site is heavily regulated, anyone could show up and ask for proof that every load was handled correctly and legally. The information existed but it was scattered across emails, spreadsheets, and weighbridge logs. It worked, but only just.

The team knew they needed a better way to manage traffic, keep track of goods, and show regulators exactly what was happening.

A custom-built traffic and compliance system was introduced to bring order to the site. Instead of trying to force one off-the-shelf product to fit, the system was built around how Vivergo actually worked day to day.

It included:

• RFID access cards for drivers, controlling who could enter each part of the site.
• Automated weighbridges to record vehicle weights without manual input.
• A live movement log so every vehicle could be tracked from entry to exit.
• Compliance rules built in, automatically checking activity against legal standards.
• Instant reporting tools to produce audit-ready records in seconds.

The goal wasn’t just to collect data, but to actually make it useful. The system gave the team a clear view of operations and removed the guesswork from site management.

Vivergo now runs with full visibility of every vehicle and every load. If someone asks where a delivery came from or when a shipment left, the answer is already recorded with timestamps, driver details, weights, and movement history.

Audits that used to take days now take minutes. Vehicle movements are controlled. Compliance is no longer something to worry about, it’s built into the way the site operates.
