Infrastructure operators pay Fyld for a workflow that turns frontline work conditions into usable data, without sending more managers to site. The platform captures video, audio, photos and text from the field and applies AI analysis to improve safety, productivity and remote visibility across asset-heavy operations.
UK-based Fyld has raised EUR 26 million in funding from Energy Impact Partners (EIP) and Partech, the company announced recently.
Why this round fits the current market
The funding lands squarely in a with-trend theme across Europe and North America: digitising field operations in utilities, energy and construction as workforces get stretched and infrastructure buildouts accelerate.
Fyld targets organisations where “operational certainty” is not a nice-to-have. Verified customer profiles include complex infrastructure operators managing 30,000 to 40,000 field workers, spanning utilities, energy, civil engineering, construction and heavy manufacturing. In these environments, the cost of poor visibility is concrete: safety incidents, regulatory exposure, rework, and management time spent travelling between sites.
EIP, whose Managing Partner linked the investment to the data-centre boom and energy infrastructure buildout, is leaning into that same pressure: more work, higher compliance expectations, and limited ability to scale supervision. EIP said Fyld’s video-based AI tools can uplift fieldworker capacity and safety with direct ROI.
What Fyld is selling, operationally
Fyld’s product positioning is pragmatic: capture what is happening on site, then standardise how it is reviewed and acted on.
- Input layer: video, audio, photos and text gathered from field work conditions.
- Analysis layer: AI used to interpret and flag safety and operational issues.
- Outcome layer: improved remote oversight, faster hazard resolution, and better productivity management.
This is not a pure “analytics dashboard” sale. The stickiness comes from embedding into routine field processes and proving value in environments where incidents and downtime are measurable.
Proof points that matter to buyers
In asset-heavy sectors, expansion and retention are driven by whether the tool reduces real operational load, not just reporting time.
Fyld cited strong momentum, closing out a year with 82% year-over-year growth.
Case studies in the energy sector point to a mix of safety and economic outcomes, including:
- USD 240,000 saved on regulatory fines
- 20% reduction in injuries and accidents
- 20% increase in spans of control
One unnamed Texas utility partner reported 67% resolution of site hazards after storms, alongside a 36% reduction in safety incidents and management travel during storm events.
For buyers, these metrics map to budget holders beyond safety leadership. Reduced travel and increased spans of control speak to operations and workforce management, while fines and incidents tie directly to compliance and risk.
Strategic lens: why EIP and Partech back this category
For investors, the attraction is a large, defensible workflow in sectors that are slow to change, but once they do, they rarely switch quickly.
Fyld’s differentiation is anchored in video-led capture plus AI interpretation, designed for dispersed teams and high-variance job sites. If implemented well, switching costs can compound through process redesign, internal training, and the accumulation of site-level evidence that improves benchmarks and compliance audits over time.
EIP brings a specific advantage in distribution and use-case discovery. The firm collaborates with more than 80 strategic partners focused on energy transition challenges. For Fyld, that network can translate into faster access to utilities and energy operators that are already seeking productivity and safety uplift.
Partech’s participation adds scale-up experience across European and global software growth, potentially supporting international expansion and go-to-market hiring.
Likely focus areas for the EUR 26 million (inference)
Fyld did not outline a detailed use-of-proceeds in the cited report. Based on the product and buyer profile, likely priorities include:
- Scaling enterprise deployments with implementation capacity, customer success, and integrations into existing field and EHS systems.
- Deepening vertical playbooks for utilities and energy, where ROI and compliance requirements are well defined.
- Geographic expansion, particularly where infrastructure investment and storm resilience programmes are driving urgency.
Execution risk will sit in sales cycle reality: enterprise utilities and infrastructure operators can be slow to procure, and value proof often depends on piloting through a full operating cycle (including incident-heavy periods like storm events).
What this enables
- More consistent hazard detection and resolution using frontline-captured evidence
- Remote supervision at scale, reducing management travel and improving response times
- ROI narratives that link safety outcomes to productivity, compliance and workforce leverage
What to watch
- How quickly Fyld converts pilots into multi-region rollouts inside large operators
- The extent to which EIP’s strategic partner network becomes a repeatable channel
- Competitive pressure from incumbent EHS and field service platforms adding AI capture and analysis
- Whether Fyld can maintain growth while supporting complex, high-touch deployments
