Vehicle assignment schedule: named, pool, booking

The vehicle assignment schedule shows, by day, by week or by month, which employee uses which vehicle. Dadycar tells apart vehicles assigned to a named driver, pool vehicles open to booking and unassigned vehicles, so that every vehicle paid for is a vehicle actually used.

Booking a shared vehicle: date range, start time and end time

What the Assignments module brings

  • Three modes in a single schedule: named assignment, shared pool open to booking, unassigned vehicle.
  • Three reading scales: day, week, month, with car-sharing and access mode filters.
  • A split that is tracked: named, pool and unassigned are measured in the dashboard, against a target not to exceed.

What a badly assigned fleet costs

  • A vehicle with no driver is still a vehicle being paid for: lease, insurance and downtime run on while it sleeps in a car park.
  • The pool is booked by message or by spreadsheet: two employees leave in the same vehicle, a third rents one outside.
  • Nobody knows who was driving on the 12th: the fine, the claim or the expense check arrives with no driver to match it.

What you get with Dadycar

The assignment schedule builds on your fleet, your employees and your sites, already in the software. You arbitrate instead of reconstructing.

Day, week, month schedule

The same view moves from the detail of a single day to the load of the month, vehicle by vehicle.

Assign a vehicle to an employee

Named assignment attaches the vehicle to its driver, with their site and their period.

Book a pool vehicle

Vehicles open to car sharing are booked from the schedule, with car-sharing and access mode filters.

Assigned, unassigned, archived

The vehicle list is read through tabs: what is assigned, what is not, what has left the fleet.

Split measured against a target

The dashboard tracks the share of named, pool and unassigned vehicles, and compares it with your target.

RFID badge on the employee record

The employee record carries their RFID badge, alongside their role, their site and their account status.

How it works

  1. 1Import your fleet, your employees and your sites. Every vehicle receives its site and every employee their record (employees and sites).
  2. 2Assign to a named driver or open to booking. A dedicated vehicle stays named, a shared vehicle moves to self-service (company car sharing).
  3. 3Steer the split and reduce the unassigned. The share of vehicles with no driver is read by site and by period (dashboard).

Who it is for

  • Fleet managers: arbitrating between a dedicated vehicle and a pool, with figures to back it (see the role page).
  • Field service teams: vehicles shared between technicians, planned by the day (see the industry page).
  • Multi-site commercial fleets: assignment readable site by site, from head office (see the industry page).

Your questions before getting started

  • “Do I need a device?” No. Assignment and scheduling work without telematics; a GPS-OBD device or a connected vehicle then adds the trips and the odometers.
  • “Our sales people have their own dedicated vehicle.” Named assignment stays a full mode of its own: the pool is opened vehicle by vehicle, where sharing makes sense.
  • “How long does it take to start?” As soon as vehicles and employees are imported, the schedule fills up and unassigned vehicles appear.

Frequently asked questions

What is a company pool vehicle?

It is a vehicle with no dedicated driver, shared between several employees and booked as needed. It stands opposite the named vehicle, assigned to a single person. In Dadycar, both modes coexist in the same assignment schedule, with a third category tracked closely: unassigned vehicles.

How do you know who was driving a vehicle on a given date?

The assignment schedule keeps assignments and bookings with their periods. The vehicle, the employee and the dates are linked, which makes it possible to find the driver concerned by a fine, a claim or an expense.

Does a pool vehicle used at the weekend create a benefit in kind?

Private use of a company vehicle constitutes a benefit in kind. There is none when the employee returns the vehicle at every weekly rest period and during holidays, or when they are forbidden from using it during those periods (Urssaf).

How do you reduce the number of unassigned vehicles in a fleet?

By first measuring the real share of vehicles with no driver, then moving to the pool those that do not justify a named assignment. The Dadycar dashboard tracks that split and compares it with a target, site by site and period by period.

What is the difference between assigning a vehicle and booking it?

Assigning attaches a vehicle to an employee over time. Booking holds a shared vehicle for a slot, in a car-sharing logic. Both actions are performed from the Assignments module, on the same day, week or month schedule.

How do employees get access to a shared vehicle?

Each employee record carries their RFID badge, and the assignment schedule offers a filter by access mode. The exact arrangements are set according to your organisation and are shown in a demo on your own fleet.
