Commercial fleet and company car management

A commercial fleet is a set of named vehicles entrusted to people who drive alone, far from head office. Managing it means framing who gets what, tracking contract mileage, handling fines and producing the benefit in kind, vehicle by vehicle and driver by driver.

Three facts that matter

  • Up to -70 % of the time spent producing reports.
  • One vehicle, one driver, one contract: cost, rental, due dates and offences attached to the same record.
  • With or without a device: declared tracking on mobile, or a connected vehicle.

What goes wrong on a sales fleet

  • Allocation is negotiated case by case. With no written car policy, every hire reopens the discussion about the model, the budget and the options.
  • Contract mileage drifts. The overrun is discovered at the return, when the leasing company's invoice arrives.
  • Fines go round in circles. The notice arrives at head office, nobody knows who was driving, and the designation deadline runs.

A commercial fleet held together by rules

A salesperson's vehicle is both a working tool and part of their package. Dadycar handles both dimensions on the same vehicle record.

Car policy and vehicle orders

Versioned car policies, with a maximum TCO, WLTP CO2 and permitted engines, and an approval flow for every order.

Catalogue of eligible vehicles

The employee chooses from a catalogue filtered by engine, segment and budget, already compliant with the policy for their grade.

Benefit-in-kind report

The benefit-in-kind report builds on the financing, the cost and the date of availability carried by each vehicle, ready to pass to payroll.

Trips and contract mileage

Odometer readings, trips and the contract mileage: the overrun is visible during the term, not at the return.

ANTAI offences and post-parking charges

The driver assigned at the date of the offence is identified, the designation prepared, and post-parking charges tracked in the same place.

Fuel cards reconciled

Fuel cards feed the vehicle's expenses: the cost per kilometre for each salesperson becomes data, not an estimate.

Three steps to get started

  1. 1Import the fleet and the employees, with contracts, rentals, contract mileages and dates of availability.
  2. 2Write the car policy and open vehicle orders with their approval flow.
  3. 3Steer the gaps: mileage, due dates and offences come up in the dashboard.

Who it is for

Bring your allocation grid and two lease contracts: we configure them live.

Your questions before getting started

  • “My sales people will refuse to be located.” Declared tracking on mobile is enough for mileage, benefit in kind and fines; telematics stays optional.
  • “We order our vehicles from several leasing companies.” Tenders and quotations are compared in the tool before the purchase order.
  • “How long does it take to start?” Due dates and alerts work as soon as your fleet file is imported.

Frequently asked questions

Is the private use of a company car a benefit in kind?

Yes. When a company vehicle is made available to an employee who uses it for business and personal purposes, the private use constitutes a benefit in kind subject to contributions. The employer assesses it on the costs actually incurred or at a flat rate (URSSAF).

Can a benefit in kind on a company car be avoided?

The benefit disappears in particular if the employee has the vehicle permanently but is forbidden in writing from using it during weekly rest periods and holidays, or if they pay a contribution at least equal to the value of the private use (URSSAF).

Who names the driver of a company vehicle that has been booked?

The legal representative of the legal entity, within 45 days of the date shown on the fine notice. Failing that, the fixed fine for non-designation is €675, reduced to €450 and increased to €1,875, on top of the original offence (ANTAI).

What is a company car policy?

It is the policy defining which vehicles are open to which employees: maximum monthly budget, CO2 emissions, permitted engines, term before renewal. In Dadycar it is versioned and governs the catalogue offered to each eligible employee.

How do you track the contract mileage of a leased vehicle?

By attaching to every vehicle its contract mileage and its end date, then comparing the odometer readings, manual or telematics, with the mileage run rate. The overrun is dealt with during the term, by arbitration or renegotiation.

Do you need a device to manage a commercial fleet?

No for managing contracts, costs, due dates, offences and the benefit-in-kind report. Yes for automatic trips, location and driving alerts, through a GPS-OBD device or a connected vehicle.
