Piana: brand identity and Webflow website for a fleet management solution

Piana centralises companies' mobility spending: fuel card, EV charging and electronic tolls, on a single platform with a single invoice. The brand speaks as much to the tradesperson driving two vans as to the manager of a large fleet.

Piana entrusted Gemeos, a web agency for SaaS companies, with its brand identity, art direction, the design and Webflow development of its website, and its SEO.

Making fleet spend management desirable

The fuel card market is held by large incumbents who all play it neutral. Piana arrives with a simpler, cheaper product designed for the electric transition. The brand had to show this at first glance, speak to the owner of a small business as much as to the manager of a large fleet, and inspire trust in customers who hand over their spending.

Gemeos built the identity (logo, palette, typefaces, cards), explored three art directions, then designed and built the site on Webflow: product pages, pages by trade and by fleet size, customer stories, guides and a blog, with an SEO strategy designed around the searches businesses make.

Branding

Two slanted strokes, like a road speeding by

The Piana logotype pairs a drawn word, compact and dynamic, with a symbol made of two slanted strokes: a road seen in perspective, and the movement of the vehicles being managed. The symbol stands on its own on a card, an app or a favicon.

The palette starts from the field: a khaki (#574B2D) and a taupe (#BDAB7B), the colours of the landscapes you drive through in a van, on a cream background (#EFEDE5). A lemon yellow (#EDFF77), an electric blue (#849DF5) and a midnight blue (#101E4C) bring energy and signal electric; an olive (#4A5213) dresses the Charging Pass. Each colour comes in ten shades in a working palette for interfaces.

Headings are set in Funnel Display, a generous, legible grotesque; labels and data in Chivo Mono, which echoes the lettering on a payment card. The three cards (Fuel, Mobility, Charging Pass) follow this system: one background per use, the logo top right, the vehicle's registration in mono type.

  • Piana logo: the two-stroke symbol and the word Piana, on a cream background
  • Piana symbol in lemon yellow on a khaki background
  • Piana palette: cream, taupe, khaki, lemon yellow, electric blue, midnight blue and olive
  • The three Piana cards: white Mobility card with chip, black Fuel card and olive Charging Pass
  • Funnel Display, the heading typeface: a large khaki “Aa” on a cream background
  • Key figure cards in the brand colours: €20,000 saved, 15 hours gained, French-speaking support
  • Piana working palette: ten shades per colour for interfaces

Art Direction

Three roads to find the tone between expertise and approachability

Before the site, Gemeos explored three complete territories, each applied to a home page with its palette, typefaces and image treatment. The directions were designed under the project's working name. The brief came down to two ideas: professional but accessible, and understandable at first glance.

  • Piana home page on desktop and mobile, side by side on a lemon yellow background
  • Piana Fuel card and EV Charging Pass pages on mobile
  • Black Piana Fuel card, with the registration and the driver's name in mono type
  1. Direction 1 - The road

    A khaki that isn't an office colour but that of the fields and verges seen from a van seat, and an electric blue that evokes energy without explaining it. A serif with generous shapes for expertise, a geometric grotesque for body text, a topographic pattern in the background and rounded corners. This is the chosen direction, and the basis of the Piana identity.

  2. Direction 2 - Speed

    A full dark mode, a sign of product maturity for users who spend time in an interface, with burnt orange accents for energy and speed. A condensed, technical typeface, and dashboards put forward: “you see what you pay”. The most tech-oriented direction, more at ease with mid-sized and large companies than with the owner of a small business.

  3. Direction 3 - The transition

    Moving gradients that swing between warm and electric, to speak to today's combustion fleet as much as tomorrow's electric fleet. A serif with very pronounced serifs to stand apart from competitors, and human photography to reassure customers who need to trust before they sign.

Web Design

A page for every product, every trade and every fleet size

The site speaks to very different profiles: the plumber who wants to stop keeping receipts, the manager of a fleet of 500 vans, the company electrifying its fleet. The home page sets out the promise and the figures, then steers each visitor to the right product and the right trade page; every page ends with the demo request.

PageWhat it does for the visitor
HomeThe promise, the figures (€20,000 saved, 15 hours gained), the three reasons to choose Piana, the cards and the testimonials
ProductsFuel card, multi-energy card, professional mobility card, charging pass, home charging and toll tag: network, benefits and FAQ
SolutionsA page per trade (plumbing, construction, landscaping, transport…) and per fleet size, with tailored messaging and examples
Customer storiesLeboncoin, Les Menus Services, Union Matériaux: the context, the results and the testimonial
Guides and blogFuel cards, France's LOM mobility law, free-flow tolls, TCO: answers to fleet managers' questions
DemoA short form to choose products and get a call back from an expert

Gemeos designed a UI Kit and a component library in Figma before the pages: animated tabs, product cards, counters, logo banners, FAQ accordions, testimonial blocks. The same building blocks make up every page, which lets the Piana team create new ones without going back to design.

  • Section “Why do fleet managers choose Piana?”: tabs and a cheaper alternative station
  • Product block “Instantly cut your costs at the pump”: guaranteed low prices, accounting reconciliation, alerts
  • Fuel card benefit cards: unified reconciliation, TCO under control, effortless VAT
  • Network banner: 5,600 low-price stations, with the logos of partner brands
  • iPhone held near a charging electric car, open on the Piana mobile home page
  • Piana FAQ accordion: small businesses and sole traders, tolls, electric vehicles, lead times
  • Page “The mobility solution for plumbing businesses” on desktop and mobile
  • Visual “Piana connects to your tools”: SAP, Sage, Cegid, IFS and fleet software
  • Leboncoin testimonial: “Piana helps me better manage travel and vehicle expenses”

Webflow Development

A site the Piana team runs on its own

The site is built on Webflow. Products, solutions by trade, customer stories, testimonials, customer and station logos, guides, articles and authors live in CMS collections: the Piana team adds a trade page or a logo without touching the layout, and image fields state the expected resolution.

Demo forms are connected to Piana's CRM; the customer support form, accessible from the footer, sends requests to Slack through the existing automation. Animations stay light (short looping videos, horizontally scrolling carousels), and the team was trained on Webflow to update the site independently.

  • Piana demo request page: product selection, contact details and fleet size
  • The Piana Blog: latest article and popular articles, with an article open on mobile

SEO

Answering fleet managers' searches, trade by trade

A fleet manager searches for “carte carburant artisan” (fuel card for tradespeople), “loi LOM flotte” (LOM law for fleets) or “péage en flux libre” (free-flow tolls) long before searching for Piana. The strategy was therefore to cover these searches: product pages, a page per trade and per fleet size, long-form guides and a blog signed by the Piana team.

WorkstreamDetail
Trade and product pages13 solution pages (plumbing, construction, landscaping, transport, small and large fleets…) and 6 product pages, each with its arguments and FAQ

Structured dataSoftwareApplication and WebSite across the site, Service on solution pages, Article on guides and the blog, ProfilePage on author pages
Internal linkingEach product links to its trades, each guide to the relevant products, and every page to the demo

Readable by search engines and AI assistants alike

Guides open with a summary and a table of contents, product and trade pages answer fleet managers' concrete questions in their FAQ, and articles are signed by Matthieu Coti, co-founder, with their author page. Short, attributed, dated answers: that is what helps search engines and AI assistants cite Piana on fleet management.
