Fleet maintenance software

You are judged on the availability of the fleet, not on the number of repairs. Fleet maintenance software must tell you what is falling due, what is off the road today, and what each vehicle costs you in servicing. Dadycar brings those three answers together in one place.

Three facts before opening the subject

  • Up to -40 % of the time spent on servicing, on tracking and chasing tasks.
  • Maintenance plans by category: fluids, brakes, battery, engine, tyres, with a separate diesel-petrol plan and an electric vehicle plan.
  • With or without a device: a GPS-OBD device or a connected OEM vehicle, as the vehicles allow.

Your typical day

  • Emergencies eat the preventive work. A breakdown in the morning, and the scheduled service of three vehicles slips by a week.
  • Finding a garage slot takes the morning. Calls, quotes, chasing: nothing is recorded, everything has to be done again next time.
  • Justifying downtime is a painful exercise. Operations want the vehicle, and you do not have the history at hand to explain why it is still in the workshop.

What Dadycar changes in your week

The fleet arrives with its due dates, its servicing plans and its past work. You move from permanent chasing to a workload plan you can show.

Maintenance plans by category

Fluids, brakes, battery, engine, tyres. Every category carries its due dates, including preventive servicing triggered by mileage, with a plan specific to electric vehicles.

Scheduled maintenance reminders

Upcoming servicing and vehicle due dates come up with a named owner, instead of depending on your memory (reminders and due dates).

Telematics alerts with adjustable thresholds

Next service in kilometres or by date, engine warning light, DTC fault codes, tyre pressure and temperature wheel by wheel. Every signal has its severity, its threshold and its recipient.

Job booking and quotes

Internal services, partner services and Dadycar Services: you book a job, request a quote and place an order from the vehicle record.

Inspections and condition reports

Inspection forms trigger automatically on the vehicles concerned. Findings come up before they turn into repairs (inspections and condition reports).

Availability and costs in front of you

The maintenance tab of the dashboard tracks fleet availability, vehicles off the road and servicing cost, with numerical targets and a filter by site.

How it works

  1. 1Import the fleet and your garages. Every vehicle receives its site, its contract and its reference garage, with the directory of suppliers and body shops.
  2. 2Apply the servicing plans. You set the mileage and calendar due dates by category, then the reminders go out to the right owners.
  3. 3Set the alert thresholds. You choose when a signal is allowed to interrupt you and through which channel (telematics alerts).

Related roles and industries

  • Heavy vehicle fleet manager: heavier regulatory checks, costlier downtime (see the page).
  • Purchasing manager: renewal, TCO and the trade-off between repairing and replacing (see the page).
  • Construction: vehicles that take a beating, scattered sites (see the page).

What you will have to defend internally

  • “We already have a servicing spreadsheet.” It does not alert you, does not keep the quotes and says nothing about fleet availability.
  • “Does every vehicle have to be equipped?” No. Servicing plans and reminders work with no device; sensor alerts require a connected vehicle.
  • “Who is going to enter all that?” Odometer readings come in through telematics or are entered by hand, and inspections go through the mobile app.

Frequently asked questions

What is fleet maintenance software for?

It brings together the servicing plans, the due dates, the work done and the costs of every vehicle. You see what is falling due, what is off the road and what servicing costs per vehicle, without rebuilding the information each time.

What is the difference between preventive and corrective maintenance?

Preventive maintenance triggers on a known due date: mileage, date or state of wear. Corrective maintenance repairs after the breakdown. Dadycar equips the first, with plans by category and thresholds, to reduce the share you simply endure.

How often must a company vehicle pass its roadworthiness test?

A passenger car or a light commercial vehicle takes its first test at the latest four years after first registration, then every two years (French Ministry for Ecological Transition). Goods vehicles are tested every year.

What is a DTC fault code on a fleet vehicle?

It is a fault code issued by the vehicle's computer and read by the OBD device. Dadycar reports it as an alert, with its severity and its recipient, alongside the engine warning light and tyre pressure.

Can an electric vehicle be serviced like a combustion one?

No, and that is deliberate. Dadycar tells apart a diesel-petrol maintenance plan and an electric vehicle plan, each with its own categories. State of charge and energy transition analyses are tracked in the sustainability module.

Do you need a device to receive service alerts?

Due date reminders work with no device, from the dates and the odometer readings. Alerts coming from the vehicle's sensors, such as the engine warning light or tyre pressure, require a GPS-OBD device or a connected OEM vehicle.
