“We had fourteen fleet accounts across government and logistics clients. Each one wanted their own report format, their own PO process, their own billing cycle. Workshop Wrench gave us the structure to handle all of them without adding headcount.”

The challenge
Brisbane Fleet Solutions services light commercial vehicles for government departments and private logistics companies across south-east Queensland. With ten bays running two shifts and fourteen active fleet accounts, the administrative load had become unmanageable.
Each fleet client had different PO requirements — some required approval before work could begin, others issued standing authorities up to a value threshold. Managing these rules across fourteen accounts in a shared spreadsheet meant work could start without proper authorisation, or conversely, bays could sit idle while staff chased an approval that should have been automatic.
Billing was a persistent pain point. Fleet invoices needed to be batched by client, formatted to each client's requirements, and reconciled against their own cost centres. The accounting team was producing these batches manually at the end of each week — a process that took most of Friday afternoon and regularly surfaced discrepancies that required a full audit trail to resolve.
The solution
Workshop Wrench's fleet module lets BFS configure standing authorities, PO requirements, and approval thresholds per account. A government client requiring PO approval on any job over $500 gets that rule enforced automatically — the RO cannot be moved to In Progress until the PO number is recorded.
Fleet invoices are now batched weekly per client with one click. Each invoice carries the client's cost centre codes, the vehicle registration, and the approved PO reference. The accounting team exports directly to Xero — the Friday afternoon reconciliation has been replaced by a 20-minute review.
Fleet clients can log into a read-only portal to review service history, upcoming bookings, and outstanding approvals for their own vehicles. Three of BFS's clients now use this to plan their own maintenance budgets — reducing inbound calls by around 40%.
