I.D. Systems Signs Exclusive Agreement With Avis Budget Group To Deploy Wireless Vehicle Rental Technology

WOODCLIFF LAKE, N.J. – March 20, 2017 –  I.D. Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:IDSY) and Avis Budget Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:CAR) have executed a purchase agreement for deployment of I.D. Systems’ proprietary wireless rental fleet management systems in Avis Budget’s vehicle rental fleet.
I.D. Systems’ wireless in-vehicle management system permits two-way data communications between a vehicle and various car rental operating systems. Combined with Avis Budget’s other existing technologies, I.D. Systems’ rental fleet management systems enables Avis Budget to rent and check-in vehicles virtually, all on a mobile device. The system provides Avis unique insights into the mileage, fuel level, and condition of a vehicle the minute it is returned to an Avis location. These capabilities significantly streamline and automate the vehicle data collection and billing process.
The first phase of the new purchase agreement will incorporate I.D. Systems’ technology into 50,000 Avis Budget vehicles. As part of the agreement, I.D. Systems received an upfront payment, which it will allocate toward the development of additional system enhancements as well as ramping production with the goal of delivering more than 2,500 units per week starting in the fourth quarter of 2017. The exclusive agreement also provides Avis Budget an option to extend system deployment across its global fleet of vehicles.
“This new agreement builds on our long-standing and successful technology collaboration with Avis Budget,” said Chris Wolfe, Chief Executive Officer of I.D. Systems. “We believe our patented, next-generation solution will truly revolutionize the car rental industry, and with a global leader like Avis as our partner, we now have a unique opportunity to realize this vision. We look forward to working more closely with the Avis team to support the deployment of their first 50,000 in-vehicle wireless devices to be installed in Avis Budget rental vehicles starting in the fourth quarter.”
Gerard Insall, Chief Information Officer of Avis Budget Group, commented: “We believe Avis Now represents the future of car rental, and we’re excited to continue and expand on our partnership with I.D. Systems. Our ‘connected cars’ allow us to vastly improve our customer’s rental experience by giving our customers more virtual control and choice of their vehicle using their mobile phone. We also improve their vehicle return experience by automating the check-in process. As a mobility services provider, connected car technology not only streamlines the rental experience for our customers but allows us to drive operational efficiencies.
The agreement provides Avis Budget with a limited term of exclusivity for the use of I.D. Systems’ technology in the car and truck rental industry, with multiple options to mutually extend the exclusivity period in six-month increments under certain conditions.

I.D. Systems Introduces FleetView™ Next-Generation Fleet Management Software

Woodcliff Lake, N.J. — September 15, 2016 — The Asset Intelligence® subsidiary of I.D. Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: IDSY), a leading provider of enterprise asset management technology and solutions for the Industrial Internet of Things, announces the release of its next generation FleetView™ transportation fleet management interface for fleets of dry van trailers, intermodal containers, chassis, and flatbed trailers.
Providing online user access to the VeriWise fleet management platform, FleetView represents a major step forward in fleet management software, giving users better visibility of their assets while streamlining system functionality, resulting in an improved and enriched user experience.  With a modernized and simplified design, the FleetView user interface is intuitive and easy to learn, and places emphasis on visual navigation to make routine fleet management tasks and activities more efficient, and provide quicker access to critical information.
FleetView provides customizable real-time fleet status and advanced drill-down reporting capabilities, delivering critical information including when assets are moving, when they are loaded or unloaded, when assets enter or exit geofenced landmarks, when they are dormant and for how long.  FleetView is designed to help fleet managers, dispatchers, safety managers, and maintenance personnel by providing up to the minute information on the status of their fleets, and help operations teams coordinate activities as they are taking place.
The new core Visibility module within the FleetView interface provides a map-based visualization of information, allowing users to quickly see and assess the data they need to manage fleet operations.  The Visibility module acts as a central information hub through which most decisions and actions can be performed, simplifying the user experience.  Within the module, users can run reports quickly with geographic and status filters combined with map and tabular controls to provide prioritized information on asset activity, history, and landmarks displayed for the current map view.
As a fully hosted, cloud-based solution, FleetView requires no additional hardware or software to deploy, and can be used with any modern web browser.

Systems.  “FleetView is an essential tool for transportation companies needing to improve operational efficiency, reduce cycle time, increase asset utilization, and improve profitability.  The customer’s experience was at the forefront of our development of FleetView, and we believe we have succeeded in delivering a solution that customers will love to use and is vital to their everyday operations.”

I.D. Systems Acquires New Intermodal Chassis Customer

Woodcliff Lake, N.J. — April 7, 2016 — The Asset Intelligence subsidiary of I.D. Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: IDSY), a leading provider of enterprise asset management technology and solutions for the Industrial Internet of Things, announces the acquisition of a new customer deploying its VERIWISE® Chassis tracking solution.
The North American Chassis Pool Cooperative, known as NACPC, is partnering with Asset Intelligence to deploy its VERIWISE® Chassis fleet management solution on 270 chassis in NACPC’s fleet. NACPC President Dave Manning strongly believes this new technology will provide substantial business value.
“Having the ability to track our chassis will allow us to leverage the multitude of information we receive from continual asset tracking,” said Manning. “We envision the future of chassis logistics as heavily relying on this tracking information instead of solely depending on gate activity. As an organization that is dedicated to keeping our assets in a closed loop, this tracking will assist us in this endeavor by helping us quickly locate a chassis should they slip out of the closed loop.”
The VERIWISE® Chassis fleet management solution from Asset Intelligence enables chassis fleet operators to:

  • Improve fleet utilization, including more rapid redeployment of dormant chassis, resulting in increased revenue;
  • Improve cargo turnaround times, from dispatch and pickup to delivery;
  • Improve billing accuracy with reliable data that shows when assets move and when the billing clock starts and stops
  • Decrease time and fuel costs spent searching for chassis by eliminating manual yard checks and enabling the nearest chassis to be utilized;
  • Reduce chassis maintenance costs by performing preventive maintenance based on actual mileage rather than calendar schedules;
  • Improve verification of intermodal container returns.

Matt Harris, Sr. Vice President of Sales for Asset Intelligence, stated: “We are very pleased to have the opportunity to partner with NACPC, a leader in chassis pool management. Our solutions will provide NACPC with critical visibility and fleet status, and we believe will ultimately help them maximize the efficiency and productivity of their chassis pool.”
Mr. Harris added that the ability to track chassis with accurate, real-time information can provide NACPC with an operational advantage. “Our solution gives NACPC visibility into the location and status of their assets, allowing leased chassis to be kept in the proper lanes for their customers. VERIWISE Chassis also provides valuable data and insight to increase asset utilization and ensure chassis fleets are sized appropriately to meet customer demand. Additionally, tracking improves billing accuracy, giving chassis pool operators the hard data needed to resolve billing disputes, a common industry challenge. All of these benefits give NACPC an advantage in serving their customers.”
The chassis pool industry is poised to see growth in the use of tracking technology in coming years. Traditionally, tracking has been primarily used by truckload carriers for their dry van fleets; however, the industry is now seeing early adoption on chassis fleets. “NACPC is certainly well ahead of the industry with this trend, and will be able to have a leg up on their competition by realizing the benefits of tracking. We’re thrilled to partner with an innovative leader in the industry, and continue to prove the value chassis tracking provides to pool operators.”
About NACPC
The North American Chassis Pool Cooperative, or NACPC, was founded in 2012 with the goal of providing a modern fleet of chassis to users with at cost pricing. The cooperative is committed to supporting the U.S. intermodal container network with an efficient chassis inventory. Use of NACPC chassis is open to all qualified motor carriers. Contributory “gray pools” allow users to draw any chassis from the pool regardless of ownership. The contributory pool model thus eliminates duplicative costs and maximizes the use of limited space at port and or inland intermodal locations by obviating the need for a contributor to have its own chassis storage facility. It also ensures an adequate supply of chassis for all users. The pool managers are responsible for chassis logistics, inventory supply, maintenance and repair and the repositioning of the chassis but usage arrangements are determined between the chassis contributor and its user. Contributory gray pools foster competition by allowing motor carrier users to select from more than one chassis provider. Currently, NACPC operates more than 13,000 chassis in four CCM managed pools; MCCP, COCP, GCCP & SACP. For more information, please visit www.NACPC.org.
