Systems, Inc.(NASDAQ:IDSY), a leading provider of enterprise asset management technology, has announced today that it will combine the operations of its existing Vehicle Management Systems (VMS) division with the recent successful acquisition of Keytroller, LLC. This new business unit will operate as I.D. Systems’ Powerfleet® division that focuses on the delivery of world-class Industrial Truck Management Systems (ITMS). Building on the DNA of success created by Terry Wickman, founder of Keytroller, this new division will combine the strategic account prowess from the VMS division to create a holistic offering for the market.

Chris Wolfe, I.D. Systems CEO explained: “The acquisition of Keytroller in 2017 provided I.D. Systems with a broader portfolio of products that allows us to service every customer, large and small.

The new business unit will be led by Mark Stanton, who was promoted to VP & GM of the Powerfleet® division. Stanton has led the VMS business unit for the past four years and was an integral part of the Keytroller® acquisition and transition into I.D. Systems.

“I am very excited at the potential for these two organizations to merge together into one unified operation,” said Stanton. “It is a great opportunity for the team to continue with the strong market momentum we have created, and it will also enable us to optimally support our customers and partners as they grow their businesses together with our Powerfleet® solutions.”

A Center of Excellence will be created at this location to drive innovation within product engineering, development, testing, and customer support.

I.D. Systems Completes Keytroller Acquisition, Strengthening Market Position and Fueling Growth Potential

WOODCLIFF LAKE, N.J., Aug. 01, 2017 — I.D. Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:IDSY), a leading provider of mobile asset management technology and solutions for the Industrial Internet of Things, has completed its acquisition of Keytroller, LLC, a manufacturer and marketer of electronic products for managing forklifts, construction vehicles, and other industrial equipment.
Combined, the companies have installed hundreds of thousands of management devices on forklifts and other industrial trucks in more than a dozen countries around the world. I.D. Systems markets its flagship Powerfleet® system primarily to end users and lift truck OEMs as a premier solution for global enterprises with large fleets of equipment across multiple sites. Keytroller markets its broad line of forklift management devices mainly through a large network of lift truck dealers, offering solutions for many different fleet sizes at a wide range of price points.
“One of the most important advantages the acquisition of Keytroller gives us, is now we can truly offer the perfect solution to any customer—no matter how large or small their fleet is, what problem they are trying to solve, or what budget they have to work with,” said I.D. Systems CEO Chris Wolfe. “In addition, together, I.D. Systems and Keytroller give customers the best option as an OEM-independent provider of forklift management technology. It’s vital for a fleet management system to work seamlessly across all makes, models and types of industrial trucks.”
“Keytroller and I.D. Systems complement each other incredibly well,” said Keytroller president Terry Wickman, who will stay on as an I.D. Systems executive vice president and run Keytroller as an independent division. “Our product mix and technologies cover everything a forklift fleet manager could want, soup to nuts, and our distribution channels have minimal conflicts. We rarely compete head-to-head. Joining together is a win-win for our companies, our partners, and our end users—all of us will benefit from a broader choice of solutions and a larger, more capable service and support organization.”
In 2016, I.D. Systems recorded revenue of $36.8 million, while Keytroller generated $6.6 million in revenue and net income of $1.5 million. Keytroller has achieved average annual revenue growth of more than 25% per year over the past three years.
Unmatched Single Source of Industrial Truck Management Solutions
Keytroller has earned a reputation in the material handling industry as an innovative provider of forklift access control/monitoring systems, speed controllers, forklift scales, truck-mounted cameras, impact sensors, wireless hour meters, pedestrian safety systems, and other electronic devices. The company offers about 40 different products, providing good/better/best functionality and pricing.
By adding Keytroller’s mid-range and economy products to I.D. Systems’ market-leading Powerfleet® industrial truck management system, the combined company’s offerings form an unmatched single source of fleet management technology for industrial truck owners and operators.
The acquisition of Keytroller also gives I.D. Systems a new source of industrial truck usage data for its Powerfleet IQ® analytics database, enhancing the value of that tool for multi-site enterprises. Joining forces also opens new potential opportunities for the two companies to cross-sell to each other’s customers and consolidate and streamline product development.
Business Continuity and Growth
Because Keytroller has enjoyed profitable growth in recent years, there will be no radical changes to the way it conducts business. While I.D. Systems expects to benefit from some operational and cost synergies, Keytroller will run as an independent division led by the company’s founder, Terry Wickman.
“Acquiring Keytroller was a rare opportunity for I.D. Systems to grow inorganically in the industrial truck management business,” added Wolfe. “We expect to reap both immediate benefits—from a business already running profitably today—and long-term benefits, such as a more predictable, profitable revenue stream from a much more diverse customer base.”
“Together, we believe I.D. Systems and Keytroller are unquestionably the world’s number one provider of forklift management solutions,” concluded Wickman. “We are eager to show how easy and affordable it is to get exactly the right solution for industrial truck management—at the right price—for safer, smarter, more successful material handling operations.”

I.D. Systems to Acquire Keytroller, Strengthening Its Position in Industrial Truck Management Market and Overall Growth Outlook

Woodcliff Lake, NJ — July 11, 2017 — I.D. Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: IDSY), a leading provider of mobile asset management technology and solutions for the Industrial Internet of Things, has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire substantially all of the assets of Keytroller, LLC, a manufacturer and marketer of a wide range of electronic products for managing forklifts, construction vehicles, and other industrial equipment.
The purchase price is $9.0 million at close, consisting of $7.0 million in cash and $2.0 million in I.D. Systems common stock, plus up to $3.0 million in earn-out consideration over two years, also in I.D. Systems common stock. The acquisition of Keytroller is expected to close before the end of July, 2017, upon satisfaction of customary closing conditions.
In 2016, Keytroller generated revenue of $6.6 million and adjusted EBITDA of $1.2 million. Beginning in the third quarter of 2017, Keytroller’s results will be included as part of I.D. Systems’ industrial truck management product line.
The two companies’ market positions and distribution channels are highly complementary. I.D. Systems sells its flagship Powerfleet® industrial truck management systems primarily to large global enterprises and through lift truck manufacturers (OEMs), while Keytroller markets most of its products through a large network of lift truck dealers to small and medium-size end users. Powerfleet® rarely competes head-to-head with Keytroller devices.
By combining Keytroller’s mid-range and economy products with Powerfleet®, I.D. Systems becomes an unmatched single source of fleet management technology for industrial truck owners and operators, which the company believes will help it compete more effectively and diversify its revenue sources. The acquisition of Keytroller also gives I.D. Systems a new source of industrial truck usage data for its Powerfleet IQ® analytics database, enhancing the value of that tool for multi-site enterprises.

Preliminary Second Quarter Fiscal 2017 Revenue

For the second quarter ended June 30, 2017, I.D. Systems expects to report revenue between $10.0 million and $10.5 million. The midpoint of this estimated revenue range represents approximately 28% sequential revenue growth and 15% year-over-year. The company is scheduled to release its complete second quarter 2017 financial results and host an investor conference call after the stock market closes on August 3, 2017. Conference call details will be announced at least a week prior to the call.

Management Commentary

“We are encouraged by the organic growth reflected in our preliminary second quarter revenue—and excited by our planned acquisition of Keytroller,” said I.D. Systems CEO Chris Wolfe. “Keytroller’s business complements our industrial truck management segment incredibly well, from product mix and market position to sales cycle and customer diversification. The acquisition should contribute immediately to I.D. Systems’ revenue and profitability, as well as position the company to achieve a more predictable, profitable revenue stream from a much more diverse customer base. We look forward to integrating Keytroller’s operations smoothly into our corporate family and leveraging the benefits of this acquisition as we continue to focus on future growth.”

Powerfleet increases safety through: impact sensing to monitor severe impacts and reduce anonymous damage; access control to restrict vehicle access to only trained operators and eliminate unauthorized use of vehicles; on-board electronic safety checklists to enforce OSHA pre-shift checklist compliance and notify maintenance of critical vehicle issues. Powerfleet helps reduce fleet maintenance costs by identifying and reporting equipment problems electronically; scheduling maintenance according to actual vehicle usage rather than by calendar or manual data entry; and helping determine the optimal economic time to replace equipment. Powerfleet also helps enterprises identify their safest and most productive operators and increase operational efficiency.

I.D. Systems Releases 2nd Generation Analytics Software Platform – Powerfleet IQ® 2.0

Woodcliff Lake, N.J. — March 29, 2017 — I.D. Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: IDSY), a leading provider of enterprise fleet management solutions for fleets of industrial trucks and material handling equipment, has released Powerfleet IQ® 2.0, the enhanced 2nd generation version of its Powerfleet IQ® Analytics software.
Since its commercial release in January 2016, Powerfleet IQ has been implemented at hundreds of Fortune 100 sites across dozens of customers representing manufacturing, distribution, warehousing, and aviation customers. The knowledge gained in these implementations combined with customer feedback, has been incorporated into Powerfleet IQ 2.0, bringing together a simpler and easier to use interface with improved visualizations to help customers make critical decisions to improve operational efficiency, damage avoidance, safety, and compliance. With streamlined report navigation and enhanced drill through capabilities, users can more readily turn insights into actionable opportunities and drive more informed decision making.
Powerfleet IQ provides managers with critical information at the site, regional, and enterprise levels, enabling easy identification of operational best practices and areas for improvement, and the ability to visualize key trends over time. Managers can perform site-by-site assessments, determine enterprise-wide benchmarks, and compare performance to peer industry standards.
Additionally, I.D. Systems is leveraging Powerfleet IQ to expand its consultative engineering and analytics services, providing custom consulting to identify opportunities and address specific challenges within customers’ operations in areas including productivity, fleet optimization, and impact analysis. I.D. Systems works with customers to develop customized programs that utilize VMS data that can be integrated and compared with 3rd party data such as ERP, WMS, Lease Management or Maintenance systems, to evaluate key operational performance and better manage their enterprise.
Powerfleet IQ utilizes data collected from the Powerfleet® Vehicle Management System (VMS), consisting of an on-board device installed on material handling equipment, and user software. The on-board device collects and wirelessly transmits vehicle information including data on safety, compliance, maintenance, and efficiency. The user software, known as Vision®, provides tactical level operational information for site managers, while Powerfleet IQ Analytics software provides a more analytical and strategic level of information for enterprise managers looking to improve operations across sites.
