I.D. Systems Introduces Powerfleet IQ™ and VeriWise IQ™ Next-Generation Analytics for Industrial Vehicles, Containers and Trailers

Woodcliff Lake, NJ, January 7, 2016I.D. Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: IDSY), a leading provider of wireless solutions for the Industrial Internet of Things, has launched its latest generation of supply chain asset analytics software: Powerfleet IQ™ for fleets of forklifts and other industrial trucks, and VeriWise IQ™ for fleets of containers, trailers and other transportation assets.
Powerfleet IQ and VeriWise IQ provide a holistic view of asset activity across an enterprise supply chain. The systems generate asset performance metrics, site-by-site assessments, enterprise-wide benchmarks, and peer industry comparisons. The data benefits facility managers, fleet managers and corporate executives by identifying opportunities to improve asset management and measuring asset and system performance on an ongoing basis.
Powerfleet IQ and VeriWise IQ convey data through both Key Performance Indicator (KPI) dashboards and detailed reports that can be emailed to users automatically. The KPIs answer critical questions, including: How effectively are assets being managed? How efficiently are asset fleets being utilized? Are operations being conducted safely? Is asset management technology being used to its full potential?
I.D. Systems’ analytics software starts with high-level, strategic data elements, such as geographical distribution of asset utilization, asset performance trends, asset performance compared to the user’s enterprise average and peer industry, and asset management system health. The software also drills down to tactical details at the site and individual asset levels, pinpointing best-practice, average, and underperforming fleet facilities and assets.
“With our Powerfleet IQ and VeriWise IQ analytics platforms, we continue to improve the critical business intelligence we provide to customers on their supply chain assets,” said Kenneth Ehrman, I.D. Systems’ chairman and CEO. “Measuring asset performance against our unique database—encompassing hundreds of millions of asset activity hours across more than a decade of fluctuating economic activity—helps our customers gain unmatched insights, not only within their enterprises, but across their industries. We think the depth and quality of our supply chain asset data is a game-changer for any large enterprise with extensive material handling or trucking operations.”
“More specifically, I.D. Systems customers can use Powerfleet IQ and VeriWise IQ information to optimize the health of their asset management systems, quantify best-practices for managing industrial trucks and freight transportation fleets, identify inefficiencies in asset performance across sites and geographic regions, identify opportunities to improve asset utilization and reduce costs with full enterprise awareness, and help forecast future asset requirements. Collectively, these capabilities help management improve the speed and quality of their business decisions, and shed light on the outcomes of those decisions, to generate a greater return on investment from corporate assets.”

I.D. Systems Secures $2.4 Million in VMS Orders during December 2015

Woodcliff Lake, N.J. — January 5, 2016 — I.D. Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: IDSY), a leading provider of wireless solutions for tracking, securing and managing high-value enterprise assets, secured $2.4 million in orders for its industry-leading Powerfleet® wireless industrial Vehicle Management System (VMS) in December 2015.
The purchase orders were from a broad range of new and existing end customers. Under the terms of the collective series of contracts, I.D. Systems will deliver its latest-generation VAC4 and third-generation VAC3 VMS products. In addition to recognizing upfront product sales, I.D. Systems expects to generate predictable, recurring revenue over a multi-year period from its post-deployment hosting and support services.
“December marked our highest month of VMS sales this year,” said I.D. Systems chairman and CEO, Kenneth Ehrman. “This achievement reflects the increasing demand for our innovative and field-proven solutions, as well as the growth of the VMS market for tracking and managing industrial trucks. We continue to establish I.D. Systems’ technology as the global industry-leading standard for enhancing safety and improving productivity of industrial assets.
“The orders demonstrate the initial effectiveness of our go-to-market strategy focused on direct sales to enterprise customers, while transferring smaller sales and support services to our channel partners, including Raymond Corporation and Toyota Industrial Equipment, as well as several independent forklift dealers. This approach has allowed us to more efficiently and profitability sell and service our enterprise customers.
Approximately 25% of our VMS sales in December were derived from our channel partners. A key to our success going forward is further strengthening our relationships with our strategic channel partners, like Toyota and Raymond, as well as adding new partners to our network. These relationships have become an integral part of our differentiated strategy to capture market share and drive revenue growth.”
“Building on the investments we made in 2015, our company enters the New Year with a considerably expanded and enhanced product portfolio, order pipeline, and sales channel network—ingredients to our short and long-term success,” continued Ehrman. “Altogether, we believe we are well positioned to take advantage of these opportunities throughout 2016 and beyond. Our array of best-in-class products, streamlined financial structure, and resellers are necessary to profitably serve this large, growing market for industrial and commercial vehicle management systems.”

I.D. SYSTEMS REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2015 FINANCIAL RESULTS

Woodcliff Lake, NJ, August 3, 2015—I.D. Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: IDSY), a leading provider of wireless solutions for the Industrial Internet of Things, reported results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2015.
Second Quarter 2015 Financial Highlights

  • Revenue decreased 13% to $9.9 million from $11.4 million in the second quarter of 2014, primarily due to a 32% decrease in vehicle management systems (VMS) revenue as the company transitioned sales and deployments to its new VAC4 product and pricing model. The decline was partially offset by a 16% increase in service revenue totaling $4.9 million, which was primarily the result of higher revenue from VMS services associated with the new pricing.
  • Recurring revenue increased 4% to $4.7 million, or 47% of total revenue in the second quarter, as compared to $4.5 million, or 39% of total revenue in the year-ago quarter. The transition to VMS solutions based on a recurring revenue model is expected to continue to increase recurring revenue.
  • Gross margin was 42% compared to 45% in the second quarter of 2014. The year-over-year decrease was primarily attributable to higher VMS installation costs and the VAC4 SaaS-based pricing model, which has a lower upfront price. As illustrated by the sequential improvement from Q1 2015, gross margin is expected to continue to improve as unit sales increase and customers sign long-term higher margin service contracts.
  • Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses increased 10% to $6.2 million from $5.7 million in the second quarter of 2014. The increase was primarily due to higher payroll-related expenses and stock-based compensation expense, partially offset by lower amortization expenses. Also, the company made the strategic decision to invest the time and training required to retune VAC4 and make it a more universally deployable product.
  • Research and development expenses decreased 17% to $1.1 million from $1.3 million in the second quarter of 2014, primarily due to the completion of several product development-related ‘I.D. Systems 2.0’ initiatives.
  • Excluding stock-based compensation, depreciation and amortization, and other non-recurring items, non-GAAP net loss totaled $2.6 million, or $(0.21) per basic and diluted share, compared to non-GAAP net loss of $1.1 million, or $(0.09) per basic and diluted share, in the same period a year ago.
  • Net loss totaled $3.1 million, or $(0.25) per basic and diluted share, compared to a net loss of $1.7 million, or $(0.14) per basic and diluted share in the second quarter of 2014.
  • As of June 30, 2015, the company had $6.9 million in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, and no debt, which is down $4.1 million from the previous quarter end. However, the company’s refocused go-to-market strategy described below is aimed at increasing sales in the second half in order to reduce inventory, which, when combined with the decrease in headcount and expected collections on existing accounts receivable, the company expects to reduce its cash consumption.

Management Commentary
“While we are clearly disappointed with our results for the quarter, it is important to explain the context,” said I.D. Systems chairman and CEO, Kenneth Ehrman. “Although we expanded our salesforce during the past two quarters while simultaneously investing in VAC4 implementations for a few of our largest customers, it became apparent that we are best served focusing primarily on our larger customers for direct sales. Historically, we have sold millions of dollars of products and services to several large enterprise customers like Walmart, Ford and U.S. Postal Service, whereby the relationship is mutually valuable and we can rationalize deploying substantial support on their behalf. At the other end, those customers with smaller implementations still require upfront support. Our investments and confidence in our channel partners’ ability to better serve this segment of our market will allow us to focus on those large accounts where we have historically delivered full solutions and support. We will still deliver world-class solutions to our other customers, and are highly confident that our excellent channel partners will provide the requisite support they require.
“As a consequence of these decisions, we have streamlined our sales and marketing functions to focus on only the larger opportunities in the market, effectively providing robust and full implementation, support and solutions in partnership with our customers. We therefore reduced our sales team and other positions, representing a 20% reduction in overall headcount, and are working in concert with our channel partners, where they will provide the implementation and support functions. We have reduced those costs associated with the broader part of our strategy, as well as other unnecessary overhead. Altogether, we believe we can drive higher revenue growth, higher revenue-per-employee, as well as sustainable profitability for our shareholders.
“We also invested additional resources to ensure our initial VAC4 customer installations were successful. This effort also took away from our ability to go-to-market effectively, which contributed to the revenue decline in the second quarter. We believe we have the correct products, structure and partners to effectively and profitably serve this large and growing market.
“We are already seeing positive signs from current and prospective customers to our new go-to-market approach, demonstrated by our recent selection by a Fortune 50 company to be their North American telemetry partner. Their choice of I.D. Systems not only supports our new direction, but also validates how our solutions meet the enterprise needs of the world’s largest corporations. We are also seeing revitalized interest from the rental car market, as demonstrated by a new development engagement initiated during the second quarter by Avis Budget Group, a Fortune 500 company and owner of Zipcar, the world’s leading car sharing network.
“Along with the benefits from our ‘2.0’ initiative, we expect our new approach to the market and the reduction in headcount to reduce our operating costs by $4 million annually. These savings, together with our refocused go-to-market strategy are intended to boost sales among larger customers and improve our financial results for the second half of the year.”

Second Quarter 2015 Operational Highlights

  • I.D. Systems received purchase orders with five-year service contracts for initial system deployments with new customers, including, for transportation asset management (TAM) products, Roly’s Trucking and Logistics One, and for VMS solutions, Toyota Motor Manufacturing Texas—the seventh Toyota manufacturing plant in North America to deploy I.D. Systems’ technology for industrial vehicle fleets.
  • The company earned repeat business from core end users, including American Airlines, Ashley Furniture, Avis Budget Group, CH Robinson, Detroit Diesel, Duncan and Son Lines, Ford Motor Company, Fritz Winter, Frontier Transportation, John Deere, Knight Transportation, Koch Trucking, Nestlé, Procter & Gamble, Sonoco, Toyota, US Trailer Holdings, the U.S. Postal Service, and Walmart.
  • Received purchase orders from VMS channel partners for end users across a diverse range of industries, including automotive, consumer packaged goods, food and beverage, grocery, healthcare, heavy equipment, retail and tobacco.
  • Released a new version of its Powerfleet® Vision application software, and continued to develop a next-generation VMS software platform, which is scheduled for release by the end of 2015.
  • Completed the full commercial release of a dry van trailer tracking system with patented cargo and door/light sensing system. The system passed a series of stringent customer field tests, which helped refine the sensitivity and settings of the system.
  • Continued to refine and improve analytics software tools, backend system hosting capabilities, and ERP systems to better support the company’s enterprise and hosted customers and to better streamline operations.
  • U.S. Patent and Trademark Office allowed I.D. Systems’ application for its fourth patent pertaining to wireless rental car management. The patent covers a method to control vehicle access remotely, enabling a vehicle-mounted device to communicate wirelessly with smart phones to allow authorized renters to unlock the doors and energize the vehicle.

DUNCAN & SONS EXPANDS DEPLOYMENT OF CONTAINER CHASSIS TRACKING SOLUTIONS FROM ASSET INTELLIGENCE

Woodcliff Lake, NJ, and Plano, TX, June 22, 2015—Asset Intelligence, a subsidiary of I.D. Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: IDSY), a leading provider of wireless solutions for the Industrial Internet of Things, has expanded deployment of its VeriWise™ Track and Trace system with Duncan and Son Lines, Inc., to help Duncan manage its fleet of intermodal container chassis. The two companies entered into a five-year contract to add over 100 Track and Trace devices to Duncan’s chassis fleet, increasing the total VeriWise™ implementation to more than 700 assets.
The Track and Trace system provides real-time asset location via GPS, cellular communications, and web-based software. The system installs quickly and features patented power management technology for long, maintenance-free battery life. As part of its solution for Duncan, Asset Intelligence also integrates data from the Track and Trace devices into Duncan’s TMW dispatch software, to automatically generate service actions.
The president of Duncan and Son Lines, Rick Duncan III, commented, “Chassis tracking plays a key role in intermodal container management, as possession of chassis changes from container ship companies to intermodal carriers. The Track and Trace system has given us robust, reliable, cost-effective, real-time tracking of chassis location and status, which has helped us improve our fleet utilization, accelerate cargo turnaround, decrease fleet travel time, reduce fuel costs and emissions, and increase our revenue.”

Systems’ COO. “Our versatile family of VeriWise™ solutions in general, and the Track and Trace system in particular, provides our customers with an effective, affordable way to manage their fleets of transportation assets.
