How a leading rail infrastructure provider simplified Print Management across UK operations
14th April 2026 | Case Study
Client Overview
SPL Powerlines is one of the UK’s leading providers of railway electrification, infrastructure and engineering services. Part of the Powerlines Group, the company delivers large-scale projects that support the development and reliability of the UK rail network. With multiple locations across the UK, SPL Powerlines requires reliable technology infrastructure to support operational teams, engineering staff and administrative workflows.
The Challenge
In 2015, SPL Powerlines was operating a fragmented print environment supported by multiple suppliers. This approach created unnecessary complexity, making it difficult to maintain consistent service levels, manage devices efficiently and control costs across the organisation. The business required a reliable Managed Print Services provider capable of delivering consistent support while simplifying print management across all UK locations.
Our Solution
Workflo Solutions began working with SPL Powerlines in 2015, initially supporting the organisation’s head office in Coatbridge. Following the success of this initial deployment and the improved service levels delivered, SPL Powerlines expanded the partnership across the wider business. Workflo consolidated and standardised the company’s print infrastructure, providing a streamlined Managed Print Service across all UK sites.
Single-Source Print Management
Multiple print suppliers were replaced with one centralised Managed Print Services provider, simplifying contracts and service management.
Standardised Print Infrastructure
Workflo implemented a standardised fleet of 23 devices across all UK locations, improving reliability and device consistency.
Proactive Support & Monitoring
Continuous monitoring and responsive support ensure high device uptime and fast resolution of issues across all sites.
