Great Customer Service, and product more than meets requirements

Driver location visibility, speed monitoring, ability to report road use miles, and track maintenance needs.

PROS

There is enough 'canned' reports to arrive at good information extraction. As with any software, there is a little bit of time to load in the data, but lots of potential once you do. We were able to move from outsourcing our road use reporting to doing it ourselves. Helped offset the cost of having the ELD's and operating systems. We also have better visibility into driver performance; and driver locations at any given time. As well as integrating with our Comdata credit cards to help track fuel expense.

CONS

Any issues I had come across have been due to myself and not the software. No complaints from our company. FTS has been stellar in customer service and always quick to answer questions.

Forward Thinking Systems product and service review

My overall experience with Forward Thinking has been great. They offer a premium product with a priority and focus on customer service. In my opinion, the experience can't get much better in the telematics market.

PROS

After reviewing many different telematic solutions, Forward Thinking was the only system that was able to incorporate all of our needs on to one platform. They offer a one stop shop for equipment tracking, video analysis, route optimization, paperless dispatch and messaging, while ensuring a user friendly experience.

CONS

With any electronic system, connectivity can be a challenge, but Forward Thinking's response time and attention to detail has made for an almost 100% up time experience.

Walk away, do not let their prices make you sign a lease

Walk away from this company, they have you do a lease through Navitas, and you can not break it. Their services is really poor( Dot wrote me a violation because their system was down), installation gives you problems(sent the units and they sent wrong cables, and connectivity issues), and Management is hard to reach, I have been waiting for weeks 6-7 to be exact to have one of the Managers call me back to see if there is away to break the lease and they are always on vacation, on another call, or trainning, do yourself a favor and go to another company, i saved 5 dls per unit when I renewed my lease and I deeply regret it.

PROS

Not Really much, Price is decent, but we have an issue at least once a week

CONS

Poor management, I am trying to see if there is a way to walk out of the lease and they wont speak to me about it, equipment issues, software issues,

Reason for choosing Forward Thinking GPS

better pricing

Vendor Response

Hi Jorge. We apologize for any frustration you've experienced. We audited your support tickets and from what we see, the support team has been responsive and helpful. Our management team also reached out a few times to discuss your concerns, but unfortunately we are unable to break leases signed with Navitas. We offer multiple pricing options for fleets of all sizes though, including no-lease options. Lastly, if your drivers are having issues with DOT, we offer free management and driver training sessions. It looks like the training sessions were declined before, but we would be happy to reschedule if you're interested just email us at support@ftsgps.com to let us know.

Forward Thinking GPS Review

HORRIBLE

PROS

The product concept. They sell you on the most wonderful service

CONS

The service after you commit making the expense, time, effort. Goes straight to zero, to the worst most horrible experience ever. They make you wait weeks to respond. Oh Well" sense of feeling after you have made the expense of time, effort, money.

Reason for choosing Forward Thinking GPS

I listened to my Office Manager, he convinced, now which I regret. Fyi, he still works in the company. I am making him deal with the horrible service being provided.

It's been a very supportive and friendly experience.

PROS

It's easy to access and navigate. I like that you can communicate with your staff through text messages. I also love the fact that it allows you to generate reports on the fleet travel activities on a daily basis.

CONS

I really don't have a feature that I don't like. I utilize the system on a daily basis and it makes my job easier. It have helped me add an extra safety feature on our fleet.

Frustrated.

The dash camera.

PROS

Dash cameras, costumer service. Something good is that apparently it is a good solution because it provides 4 services on only one platform.

CONS

After 1 week using FT I regretted having changed our old provider. It has many types of reports but they are not useful. I'm just counting the days to end the contract and return with Fleetmatics! I can't import my geofences or locations, the Route Matrix is too complicate to use, so many isues with Fiel Warrior(ELD) and more issues.

Everything works great with keeping track of the truck engine services and GPS tracking.

PROS

Keeps tracking of engine service and alerts us. GPS track is consistent and shows exact locations of trucks always.

CONS

Can't pull more than 1 day at a time GPS reports. Would like a full week or more to show the path of our trucks to clients.

None. The only thing that I'd say is that it would have been nice to have an office in Atlanta closer to me of course. Although, everything was handled well over the phone and via web meetings with our team and Forward Thinking's Team.
