Fleet management software for transport and logistics

A transport fleet mixes light vans, rigid trucks and tractor units, with daily rounds and tight regulatory deadlines. Fleet management software is there to keep every vehicle available, to hold the checks up to date and to know the real cost of every kilometre covered.

Three facts that matter in transport

  • Around 40 OBD/CAN signals reported by telematics, with a configurable threshold and alert routing.
  • Mixed fleets in one tool: vans, rigid trucks, tractor units, trailers, each with its contract and mileage run rate.
  • Up to -40 % of the time spent on servicing and -70 % on producing reports.

What costs the most day to day

  • A truck off the road is revenue lost. An unforeseen breakdown cancels a round and forces urgent subcontracting.
  • Due dates pile up. Annual roadworthiness test, insurance, licence copies, driving licences, medical checks: one forgotten date takes the vehicle off the road.
  • The cost per kilometre stays vague. Fuel, tyres, servicing and claims are tracked in separate files, never related to the vehicle or to the kilometre.

What Dadycar brings to a transport fleet

On-board or OEM telematics

A GPS-OBD device or a factory-connected vehicle: position, trips and engine data come in with no double entry.

Technical alerts with adjustable thresholds

Battery, engine warning light, fault codes, temperatures, tyre pressure for each wheel: the signal goes out before the breakdown.

Trips and odometer history

Every trip is recorded and the mileage readings feed the tracking of contract mileage.

Geofencing of depots and platforms

Zones and time slots per site make it possible to track depot visits and extended stops.

Reminders and due dates

Roadworthiness test, insurance, expiring documents and scheduled maintenance are tracked with a named owner.

Cost per kilometre and TCO

Expenses, fuel and maintenance plans feed a dashboard with TCO per vehicle and an availability rate.

How it works

  1. 1Import the fleet and the sites. Every vehicle receives its contract, its mileage run rate, its driver and the depot it belongs to.
  2. 2Connect and set it up. A device or a connected OEM vehicle, then alert thresholds, zones and due date reminders.
  3. 3Steer by the gaps. The dashboard reports vehicles off the road, overdue dates and cost drift; the trips document the real activity.

Who it is for

  • Courier and parcel services: dense rounds, light vehicles, high turnover (see the industry page).
  • Refrigerated transport: rigid trucks and semi-trailers under controlled temperature (see the industry page).
  • Transport SME leaders: margin per kilometre and the trade-off between an own fleet and subcontracting (see the role page).

Your questions before getting started

  • “Does Dadycar replace my tachograph?” No. The tachograph and the handling of social data remain your responsibility; Dadycar tracks the technical condition, the costs and the due dates of the vehicles.
  • “Does every truck need a device fitted?” A GPS-OBD device or a factory-connected vehicle: both feed the application, the second with no installation.
  • “What about subcontracted vehicles?” Only the vehicles you enter in the application are tracked; assignment by site keeps depots and entities apart.

Frequently asked questions

Which vehicles must be fitted with a tachograph?

The digital tachograph is fitted to goods vehicles over 3.5 tonnes and passenger vehicles with more than nine seats first registered from 1 May 2006 (French Ministry for Ecological Transition.pdf)).

What are the driving and rest times for a lorry driver?

Daily driving is limited to 9 hours, extended to 10 hours twice a week, 56 hours per week and 90 hours over two consecutive weeks. A 45-minute break is required after 4 hours 30 of driving, and the normal daily rest is 11 hours (French Ministry for Ecological Transition.pdf)).

How often does a heavy goods vehicle need a roadworthiness test?

Goods vehicles, lorries and trailers are tested every year. Buses and coaches are tested every six months (French Ministry for Ecological Transition).

What licence is needed to operate road freight transport?

The company must be entered in the national electronic register of hauliers and meet four conditions: establishment, good repute, financial standing and professional competence. Vehicles over 3.5 tonnes fall under the Community licence, the others under the domestic transport licence (French Ministry for Ecological Transition).

Must a transport document be carried in every vehicle?

Every vehicle must hold a numbered certified copy of the company's licence (French Ministry for Ecological Transition). In Dadycar, those documents are attached to the vehicle with their expiry date and trigger a reminder.

How do you track the cost per kilometre of a heavy goods vehicle?

Bring together the vehicle's expenses, its fuel and the mileage recorded. Dadycar keeps the odometers, the trips and the expenses, then gives a total cost of ownership per vehicle in the dashboard.
