What the Catalogue & Car Policy module changes

  • A versioned car policy: maximum monthly TCO, trade-up as a percentage, maximum WLTP CO2, authorised powertrains.
  • A catalogue synchronised with JATO, with monthly TCO and LOM compliance shown per model.
  • Step-by-step approval flows, conditioned by TCO or segment, with an SLA and an exemption route.

When the vehicle policy lives in a PDF

  • The car policy is a Word document that nobody opens when the time comes to choose a model.
  • Every order starts from scratch: emails to the manager, to purchasing, to management, with no trace and no deadline.
  • The quota of low-emission vehicles is discovered at year end, once the orders have already been placed.

What you get with Dadycar

The Catalogue & Car Policy module, offered as a beta version, covers the full cycle: rules, eligibility, model choice, order and approval.

Versioned car policies

Per policy: maximum monthly TCO, trade-up as a percentage, maximum WLTP CO2, LOM compliance for 2026, 2027 or 2030, authorised powertrains, employees covered. Every change creates a version.

Eligible employees and renewal

Role, department, attached policy, eligibility and renewal date: the manager knows who can order, what and when.

JATO vehicle catalogue

Filters by powertrain, segment and make; monthly TCO, maximum CO2 and LOM compliance per model; favourites to prepare orders.

Single or bulk orders

One order for an employee or a grouped order for a fleet renewal, with approval workflow, SLA and justified exemption.

Conditional approval flows

Sequential approvers, triggered according to the TCO or the segment of the vehicle; digest and automatic reminders to approvers still pending.

The rest of the cycle: tender and delivery

The approved order feeds the multi-lessor tender, the purchase order and the delivery tracking, with no re-entry.

How it works

  1. 1Define your car policies. A monthly TCO cap, a maximum WLTP CO2, the authorised powertrains and the LOM compliance target; attach the eligible employees.
  2. 2Let the employee choose from the catalogue. Only the models compliant with their policy are offered, with their monthly TCO; the order enters the approval flow.
  3. 3Approve and follow up. Each approver receives their request with an SLA; an exemption is possible and traced. The approved order moves on to the leasing tender, then to the dashboard.

Who it is for

  • Purchasing managers: a policy applied to every order, with exemptions traced (see the role page).
  • HR managers: company cars assigned according to role and department (see the role page).
  • SME and mid-cap leaders: fleet TCO and CO2 kept in check before the order, not after (see the role page).

Your car policy, applied to every order

A 30-minute demo: we translate your current vehicle policy into a Dadycar car policy and simulate an order from end to end.

Your questions before getting started

  • “We already have a written car policy.” That is the starting point: its caps and its categories become the parameters of the Dadycar policy, versioned at every change.
  • “Our approval flows differ by amount.” Approvers are sequential and conditioned by TCO or segment; cases outside the policy go through the exemption route.
  • “Is the module in beta?” Yes: it is available in the application and evolves with the feedback of the first users.

Frequently asked questions

What is a corporate car policy?

The car policy (or vehicle policy) is the document that sets the rules for allocating company and service vehicles: eligible categories by job level, cap on the lease or the TCO, maximum emissions, powertrains, options, duration and renewal conditions. Dadycar turns it into rules applied to every order.

What is trade-up in a car policy?

Trade-up is the option for an employee to choose a vehicle above the cap of their category, by paying the difference in lease themselves, within a limit expressed as a percentage. Dadycar records that percentage in every version of the car policy.

What are the low-emission vehicle quotas for company fleets?

For companies running more than 100 light vehicles, the minimum share of low-emission vehicles in renewals is 15 % in 2025, 18 % in 2026, 25 % in 2027, 30 % in 2028, 35 % in 2029 and 48 % in 2030 (ecologie.gouv.fr).

Who pays the incentive-based annual greening tax?

Companies with more than 100 light vehicles that do not reach those quotas, since 1 March 2025. The unit rate per missing vehicle is €2,000 in 2025, €4,000 in 2026 and €5,000 from 2027 (ecologie.gouv.fr).

How does a company car ordering workflow work?

The eligible employee chooses a model compliant with their car policy; the order goes through successive approvers (manager, purchasing, management) depending on the TCO or the segment, with a handling deadline. Once validated, it triggers the tender with the leasing companies and then the purchase order.

Is the Car Policy module included in the Dadycar subscription?

The Catalogue & Car Policy module is offered as a beta version in the application. The access conditions per plan are set out on the pricing page and during the demo.
