Fleet purchasing and cost of ownership
You are not buying vehicles, you are buying a cost of ownership over four years. Between the catalogue, the internal policy, the lessors' offers and the approvals to obtain, the information arrives in pieces. Dadycar puts that journey into one tool, from the order to the return.

Three facts that matter
- Vehicle catalogue synchronised through JATO, with a monthly TCO and CO2 emissions for each model.
- Multi-lessor tenders, with quotations read automatically and compared.
- Up to -70 % of the time spent producing fleet reports.
What slows you down today
- The car policy lives in a Word document. Nobody knows which version is authoritative, and exceptions are negotiated case by case.
- Quotations arrive as PDFs. You re-enter them in a spreadsheet to compare a rental, a lead time and a TCO that are not calculated the same way from one lessor to the next.
- Approvals get lost in copy. An order waits for a signature nobody chases, and the vehicle arrives three months late.
What Dadycar gives you
The Catalogue and Car Policy module, currently in beta, covers the whole purchasing cycle: choosing, framing, getting approval, consulting lessors, ordering and tracking through to the return.
Vehicle catalogue with TCO
The catalogue is synchronised with JATO. Every model shows its monthly TCO and its CO2 emissions, with filters by engine, segment and make.
Versioned car policies
You set a maximum monthly TCO, a trade-up threshold, a maximum WLTP CO2 and the permitted engines. Every version is dated and attached to the employees it covers (car policy and vehicle ordering).
Orders and approval flow
Orders follow a sequential approval flow, conditioned by the TCO or by the vehicle segment. The steps carry an SLA, with automatic chasers and recorded derogations.
Multi-lessor tenders
You consult several lessors on the same need. The quotations received are read by character recognition, then compared, with a recommendation for the best TCO or the shortest lead time (leasing tenders).
Purchase orders and delivery tracking
The purchase order follows its vehicle: production, delivery, entry into service, then return. Condition reports and missing documents come up, delays included.
The real cost after the purchase
Contracts, contract mileage, overruns, expenses and servicing feed the observed TCO. You negotiate the next renewal with your figures, not the lessor's.
How it works
- 1Load your policy. TCO ceiling, maximum CO2, permitted engines, eligible employees and renewal rules.
- 2Launch the consultation. You approach the lessors, upload the quotations received and read the comparison.
- 3Follow the order through to the vehicle. Approvals, purchase order, delivery, then return (car policy and vehicle ordering).
Related roles and industries
- Heavy vehicle fleet manager: renewing a truck without taking a round out of service (see the page).
- Maintenance and operations manager: knowing when repairing costs more than replacing (see the page).
- Local government and public sector: tenders, price schedules and greening obligations (see the page).
Bring three lessor quotations
We put them through the comparison during the demo, and you see what the ranking by TCO and by lead time looks like.
What you will have to defend internally
- “Our car policy is already written.” It becomes enforceable: the ceilings block orders outside the framework instead of being recalled afterwards.
- “Our lessors will not change their format.” They have nothing to change: the quotations received are read and normalised for the comparison.
- “This module is in beta.” Yes, and we say so. The scope is set out in a demo before any commitment.
