Your Complete Fleet Operation
on One Platform
Most fleets rely on multiple vendors to get full visibility. IntelliHub brings everything into a single command center — telematics, cameras, GPS tracking, compliance, routing, driver coaching, and asset management — all in one login.
IntelliHub
Location, speed, health, cameras, and compliance — all connected, all current.
Explore IntelliHubSee Everything.
Your Connected Platform Built to Scale.
If you’re still finding out about problems after they happen, you don’t have real visibility.
GPS Tracking
Every vehicle, driver, and route in a single view — location, speed, ignition status, movement history, and HOS duty status.
Activity Alerts
Set rules once and get automatic alerts for arrivals, departures, speeding, idling, and after-hours movement.
Vehicle Health
ECU data and fault codes surface issues early, with maintenance workflows and PM scheduling to close the loop.
Fleet Safety
Starts with FleetCam
When something goes wrong on the road, the question isn’t what happened, it’s whether you can prove it.
Video Telematics
Road- and driver-facing HD cameras with AI-powered ADAS and DMS detection, in-cab alerts, and connected fleet visibility.
Live & Historic Video
Stream or retrieve footage from multiple cameras, with events clipped, timestamped, and synced to GPS and vehicle data.
AI Event Detection
Critical driving events automatically captured with video, snapshots, and telemetry.
Better Drivers. Smarter Coaching. Safer Fleets.
Most coaching programs create more work for supervisors. DriveShield shifts accountability to the driver.
Driver Self-Coaching
Drivers receive event notifications, review video, and acknowledge or dispute incidents before escalation.
Scorecard Transparency
Every driver starts at 100 and changes with every driving event. Drivers and managers see the same scorecard throughout the day.
Trend Analytics
View driver score trends over time to identify improvement, decline, and emerging patterns early.
Field Warrior
The tools your drivers need to stay compliant, and nothing they don’t.
Explore Field WarriorMobile Workforce Management App
Paper logs, missed inspections, and HOS violations create risk and slow operations. There’s a better way to run the cab.
FMCSA-Registered ELD
Hours-of-Service updates automatically with driving activity, with inspection-ready logs.
Digital DVIR Records
Pre- and post-trip inspections go paperless, with defects flowing directly into maintenance workflows.

What our customers actually say.
From fleet managers who run on FTS every day.
The new system almost immediately paid dividends. FleetCam Pro has already proven its value. DriveShield has been a huge benefit for us. The direct feedback to the crews lets them see what they did and respond.
Green Girl Recycling
Forward Thinking Systems has been an absolute game changer for Green Girl Recycling. From day one, setup was seamless—quick, easy, and stress-free. I can see exactly where all of our trucks are, check in on my drivers, and understand their environment in real time. If anything ever happens, we have a full video record and that level of visibility is EVERYTHING when you’re running a fast-moving operation like ours.
Flotech Environmental

Frequently asked questions.
The questions we hear in the first 10 minutes of every demo. If yours isn’t here, our support team is one message away.
01 Who is Forward Thinking Systems (FTS)?
Forward Thinking Systems (FTS) is a fleet management and video telematics company founded in 2005 and headquartered in Jericho, NY. We build and support GPS tracking, AI dash cam, ELD compliance, route optimization, and driver coaching solutions for fleets from 3 to 100,000+ vehicles across transportation, construction, government, waste management, and field services. Unlike resellers who package other companies’ technology, FTS develops its own integrated platform.
02 How is FTS different from competitors like Samsara, Motive, or Verizon Connect?
FTS builds a tightly integrated, purpose-built platform — IntelliHub, FleetCam, DriveShield, Field Warrior, Route Matrix, and Monarch — rather than stitching together acquired products. Customers get a single system that actually talks to itself, with one point of contact for support. FTS also offers 24/7 US-based support, which matters when your driver is on the side of the road at 2 AM and needs help — not a ticket queue.
03 What is fleet telematics?
Fleet telematics combines GPS location, vehicle diagnostics, and driver behavior data to show fleet managers where every vehicle is, how it’s being driven, and when it needs service. FTS delivers telematics through IntelliHub, its fleet management platform, with AI dash cams (FleetCam), FMCSA-registered ELD (Field Warrior), and route optimization (Route Matrix) on the same system.
04 How do AI dash cams reduce accidents?
AI dash cams detect risky driving — following too closely, distraction, hard braking, rolling stops — as it happens and alert the driver in the cab, so behavior changes before an incident occurs. FleetCam, the FTS video telematics system, pairs in-cab alerts with DriveShield coaching workflows to significantly reduce fleet incidents.
05 How long does it take to get FTS up and running across my fleet?
Most fleets are fully deployed within 2–4 weeks from signed contract, depending on fleet size and hardware configuration. FTS handles installation coordination, training, and onboarding. You don’t need a dedicated IT team to get started — and most managers are up and running in IntelliHub within a day of first login.
06 Do I have to take the whole platform, or can I start with just tracking or just cameras?
Start with what you need. FTS is modular — add GPS tracking, cameras, compliance, or routing as your fleet grows.
07 Is the ELD FMCSA-registered?
Field Warrior is registered on FMCSA’s ELD list — the credential that matters, because FMCSA doesn’t test or certify devices itself. Manufacturers self-certify against FMCSA’s technical specification and register the device, and that registration is what DOT auditors check for Hours-of-Service compliance.
08 Will FTS integrate with our existing vehicles and hardware?
FTS is designed to be hardware-flexible. Whether your fleet has OBD-II ports, hardwired options, or you want to use existing driver smartphones (BYOD), FTS has a configuration that works. No need to replace everything — FTS meets you where you are and scales as your fleet evolves. FTS quickly and easily integrates with Geotab, Cradlepoint, Ryder and more, plus a REST API for custom integrations.
09 How does pricing work? Is there a per-vehicle fee?
FTS pricing is customized based on fleet size, products deployed, and contract terms. Most fleets are priced on a per-vehicle, per-month model. The best way to get accurate pricing for your specific fleet is to request a demo — FTS will put together a proposal based on your actual needs, not a price sheet built for a fleet twice your size.
10 Does FTS offer 24/7 customer support?
Yes. FTS provides 24/7 customer support. When your driver has a problem at midnight in an unfamiliar city, they have someone to call — not a chatbot.
11 Do you support government purchasing through Sourcewell?
Yes — FTS is a Sourcewell-awarded contract holder for streamlined public-sector procurement.
12 What industries does FTS serve?
FTS serves transportation and logistics, construction, waste management, public transit, government and municipal fleets, emergency services (police, EMS, fire), food and beverage distribution, utility field services, school districts, and many other industries with mobile assets. The platform is flexible enough to adapt across verticals, and FTS has deep experience across a wide range of fleet operations.
13 How do I know FTS is the right partner for the long term?
FTS has been in business since 2005 — over 20 years serving commercial fleets. That kind of longevity in a field where vendors come and go is meaningful. FTS has invested in developing its own technology rather than acquiring and rebranding, which means you’re getting a partner with genuine product knowledge and a roadmap — not a reseller who goes dark the moment the sale closes.
