When Laura S., the General Manager at a mid-sized dealership in Chicago, got the 3:42 AM notification, her stomach dropped. One of their most valuable vehicles — a 2023 Cadillac Escalade — had just been unplugged. But this wasn’t just another gut-wrenching inventory loss. Because this time, they had FortiTrak.
Over the past six months, Laura’s lot had seen three attempted thefts. Each time, the intruders got smarter — and bolder.
Her team had tried everything: alarms, cameras, motion lights. But nothing gave them real-time control or reliable visibility.
To make matters worse, their insurance premiums were climbing. Fast.
With its dual OBD + battery device, FortiTrak Assure offered what their old system couldn’t:
Installation took under 30 minutes per vehicle. The impact came much faster.
Two weeks into using FortiTrak, the alert came in.
At 3:42 AM, a vehicle went offline. Within seconds, Risk AI classified it as a high-risk event and triggered a series of alerts.
Laura opened the recovery dashboard and shared the vehicle’s live GPS location with law enforcement.
By 4:29 AM, the Escalade was recovered.
Still intact. Still on the lot.
This single incident avoided:
The dealership’s insurance premium was reduced by 12% the following month — thanks to proof of active tracking.
