About GPS Fleet Tracking Software

Forward Thinking Systems provides a cloud-based fleet management solution that provides businesses with tools and functionalities that help them to coordinate and track their fleet of vehicles in real time.

Vehicles can be installed with a tracking device with a constant satellite and cellular connection that sends location updates to the online application, providing real-time locations. Through the solution's Route Manager, users can view assets on a map and differentiate between vehicles by color, type and custom labeling to indicate usage type.

Forward Thinking Systems provides a dispatching feature helps dispatchers to find an address, locate the closest vehicle to a stop and dispatch the stop to the driver. Communication between drivers and dispatch can be managed with the two-way messaging feature from the cloud application directly to a driver’s device. Drivers can access the dispatch feature via mobile and tablet computers.

Support is offered via phone and email.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.
