Customer testimonial from Lachaud Transports, carrier, general goods.

For over 35 years, Didier Lachaud has been evolving his company with one idea in mind: stay agile to endure. Based in Ribérac in Dordogne, Lachaud Transports now consists of two entities:

  • Lachaud Voyages for school transportation and excursions,

  • Lachaud Transports for freight delivery, mainly for major retailers.

Didier, his wife Joëlle (billing), Lionel, and Mourad (operations) make up a close-knit team, ready to take on the challenges of a rapidly changing sector.

By adopting Dashdoc in 2025, Didier Lachaud is taking a new step in the modernization of his company and is ensuring its long-term viability as best as possible.

After searching for so long for a way to save time on operations, I think I’ve finally found it! — Didier Lachaud, Fondateur et dirigeant

Challenge: Moving from burdensome management to simplicity

Like many family businesses, Lachaud Transports ran into the limits of an old software that had become too slow: impossible to clean up customer files, tedious manual entry, time spent on admin instead of optimizing routes…

We had 30,000 customers, but couldn’t clean up the database… We wasted a ridiculous amount of time entering files instead of focusing on operations. — Lionel Lefort, responsable exploitation

Solution: Dashdoc, AI at the service of people

With Dashdoc, the change is immediate: creation of transport orders sped up thanks to AI, automatic extraction of information from emails or PDFs, scheduling and sending assignments to drivers in just a few clicks.

When I saw the Dashdoc AI demonstration, I immediately understood the time savings for operations. — Didier Lachaud

Hop, one click, two clicks, BAM, it’s already with the driver and confirmed. — Didier Lachaud

Result: more peace of mind for the team, who can devote their energy to real added value: managing operations and customer service.
