Drivup

What Drivup does

Drivup is a France-only, cloud-based SaaS editor focused exclusively on the management software needs of French driving schools (auto-écoles). The platform handles the full student lifecycle from registration through exam completion, including REMC competency tracking, scheduling, billing, instructor-hours tracking, electronic contracts, and direct synchronization with the French government's ANTS portal for NEPH numbers, e-photos, and attestations. Two commercial tiers are sold today — Drivup Go (core management) and Drivup Connect (premium tier adding student self-scheduling and online lesson purchase) — both augmented by a free student-facing mobile app (Drivup Scool) and a white-label booking module (Drivonline). A unified Drivup V2 platform is planned for Q1 2026 alongside NF525 fiscal certification, a public API, Zapier connectivity, and a Q3 2026 AI suggestion engine.

The technology stack is entirely web/browser-based, hosted on OVH infrastructure in Roubaix, with a deep integration fabric ("passerelles") connecting to ANTS, ENPC/EDISER, Code Rousseau, the official state digital booklet, RDV Permis, and several smaller French driving-school platforms. Product development is led by co-founders Anthony Lievaux (legal representative, developer/designer) and Vincent Eisen (driving-school operator), with the company remaining bootstrapped, structured as a SAS with €4,000 of share capital and a headcount of 1–10.

Go-to-market is sales-led for multi-agency chains and product-led with a 30-day free trial and self-serve account creation for individual schools. Monetization is primarily per-agency monthly subscriptions priced from €30 to €69 per agency per month across volume tiers, supplemented by usage-based SMS fees (€0.094/SMS), per-booklet sales (from €3.50), one-time card-module installation (€300), and professional services. Customers are exclusively small and mid-sized French auto-écoles; 14 are publicly named as testimonials, none of enterprise scale. The company operates from a single headquarters in Chèvremont (Bourgogne Franche-Comté) with no disclosed geographic expansion, external funding, or institutional ownership.

Regional players

• Lebonpermis: French driving school comparison and lead-generation platform with software-adjacent services for auto-écoles. Less software-native than Drivup but competes for the same customer wallet.

Others

• OVHcloud: French cloud infrastructure provider hosting Drivup's SaaS platform. Indirect relationship as infrastructure provider; not a competitor but a strategic dependency.
• Opinion System: Reputation and review management platform with documented Drivup integration for auto-écoles. Adjacent ecosystem participant enabling customer feedback collection within Drivup workflows.

Broad incumbents

• Code Rousseau (Easy Système): Major French publisher of code-learning content and exam prep, with software offerings for driving schools. Comparable as an integrated vertical solution for the French auto-école market, particularly through content and assessment features.
• ENPC / EDISER: National French driving school network and digital platform with broad reach across auto-écoles. Bundles software, training content, and a national footprint that competes with Drivup on integration and ecosystem depth.

Direct peers

• Coddity Auto-École: Software provider for French driving schools covering scheduling, billing, and student tracking. Competes head-to-head with Drivup in the SMB auto-école vertical.
• Vroom-Vroom: French driving school management software with similar scheduling and administrative functionality. Directly competes in the same auto-école SaaS category, including a documented integration partnership with Drivup.
• Ornikar: French digital driving school platform offering online registration, code learning, and instructor matching; also develops software features for driving schools. Well-capitalized and a direct competitive threat on both software and operational layers of the auto-école stack.

Emerging players

• RDV Permis: Driving license appointment scheduling platform integrated into the Drivup ecosystem. Comparable as a niche auto-école tool, though narrower in scope than Drivup's full management suite.
• Permis de Conduire Online (PCO): Online driving school offering in France with software functionality for managing learner progress and exams. Comparable as a digital-native auto-école operator, with some software tool overlap.
