JERICHO, N.Y., March 3, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- The Garmin®
fleet™ 790 commercial navigation device can now serve as a
live-streaming video telematics solution for fleets without any
additional hardware. Thanks to a strategic relationship with
Garmin® and Forward Thinking Systems, FleetCam® is now part of the
advanced mobile workforce automation app Field Warrior® and
available to use on the android-powered tablet. This is the only
turn-by-turn commercial navigation system with a live streaming
video telematics solution and comprehensive workforce management
solution built into the same device.
The Garmin® fleet™ 790 built-in camera works as a dash cam when
paired with FleetCam® through the Field Warrior® app. Now, users
can:
- Stream live video and download historic video without having to
physically access the vehicle
- View and download automatically recorded driving event clips on
a user-friendly web portal for managers
- Track unsafe driving events along the vehicle's route with the
snapshot breadcrumb trail
- Review clips, set coaching priorities and leave notes using the
integrated driver coaching system
The FleetCam® addition is the latest improvement to the Field
Warrior® app, an all-encompassing fleet management system. This
powerful solution is simple to use, and when paired with Garmin®
fleet tablets, provides users with an array of helpful tools
including:
- A FMCSA-registered ELD solution (requires an additional
Bluetooth dongle)
- Real-time GPS tracking that captures vehicle location and
activity information
- Turn-by-turn commercial navigation that factors in each
vehicle's size, weight and cargo when providing directions
- Active lane guidance with detailed instructions when
approaching turns and exits
- Driver scorecards that track events like speeding, excessive
idling and harsh braking
- Fully customizable digital forms for proof-of-delivery, driver
inspections, and more
- Two-way messaging with dispatch and field workers
"You get a full-blown fleet management tool now that FleetCam is
paired with Field Warrior on the Garmin fleet 790," said
David Isler, CEO of Forward Thinking
Systems. "We've transformed a top-notch commercial navigation
device into a complete video telematics and workforce automation
solution. It's a tremendous value for customers looking to keep
equipment costs down while finding ways to improve workflow and
accountability."
"Gone are the days of needing multiple devices to manage your
fleet operation," said Chad Sallman,
Garmin senior business development manager for commercial
solutions. "Now, all you need for your crew is the Garmin fleet 790
and Field Warrior with FleetCam. Garmin's android-powered tablet
does it all at a fraction of the price it would cost you to buy all
of these amenities separately."

Warrior® solution can do so by contacting Forward Thinking Systems
