Managing a vehicle fleet can be complex, particularly when it is based on manual processes or limited tools. Three years ago, the ELOY Group, which owns a fleet of 250 vehicles, opted for the GAC Car Fleet solution to optimise its organisation and speed up its digital transformation. Owning its fleet gives the ELOY Group better control over costs, but limits access to certain data compared with a leased fleet. Before switching over to GAC Car Fleet, the company used an Excel spreadsheet shared between six employees and an internal tool, which could make monitoring tedious and prone to error.
We discussed managing the ELOY Group’s fleet using GAC Car Fleet with Geoffrey Dittmann, Purchasing Manager.
“Thanks to GAC Car Fleet, we have structured and simplified our fleet management. Thanks to its intuitive interface, advanced features and responsive support options, fleet management is dead easy. We’re looking forward to future upgrades, particularly to support the electrification of our fleet.”

What were the main challenges you faced in managing your fleet before opting for GAC Car Fleet software?
“Before we installed the solution, we mainly managed our fleet using Excel spreadsheets and internal tools with limited functions. This led to data tracking problems, human error and a lack of responsiveness in decision-making. Without a centralised tool, it was also difficult to share information between employees.”
How has GAC Car Fleet helped you optimise your fleet management?
“The GAC Car Fleet software has brought a significant improvement in terms of saving time and cutting costs. Getting to grips with it proved dead simple and the support of the GAC team was a real asset, particularly when setting up connectors to integrate and synchronise data. The user-friendly reporting function improved our ability to forecast costs and consumption, thereby simplifying decisions.”
In your opinion, what are the main advantages of our software and which features do you use the most on a daily basis?
“Our teams have appreciated a number of benefits thanks to the GAC Car Fleet software:
- The maturity and reputation of the software provide reassuring proof of its reliability.
- The reporting options provide a clear and concise overview of fleet performance.
- Consumption management and the monitoring of optimisation campaigns.
- The checklist, which makes everyday life easier for fleet managers.”
