5Keys Engage

Overview

5Keys Engage is a driver risk management platform that brings fleet behavior data and training into a shared scorecard. It suits fleets looking to connect coaching with telematics and camera information, rather than treating training as a separate task. Its broad workflow is compelling, but custom pricing and phone-based behavior monitoring make privacy and cost important buying questions.

Key features

A shared view of driver risk

The 5Keys Scorecard combines behavior data from telematics, cameras, video, and training. Managers can review fleet performance by source, behavior, and trend; drivers can see their own performance and track progress. This joined-up view can help teams connect observed behavior with follow-up training, though its usefulness depends on the data and systems a fleet brings together.

Different roles, connected around training

Drivers can access eLearning, complete Skills Builder modules, and monitor their scorecard progress. Trainers can assign and track modules, coach drivers, and follow progress across cohorts. Managers can assign training and deploy the mobile app. That division makes the platform relevant to organizations with active coaching and training workflows, not just buyers seeking a standalone camera or telematics feed.

Mobile insights and rewards

The app uses phone sensors and software-based telematics to detect behaviors including distracted driving. It also provides assignment alerts, Smith System eLearning, behavior-based Skills Builder training, and customizable safe-driving rewards. Phone-based detection adds another way to surface risk, but buyers should assess mobile data practices and privacy protections before deployment.

Integration and reported outcomes

5Keys Engage can ingest existing telematics data from systems such as Geotab, and combines training, telematics, cameras, and behind-the-wheel training. Smith System says fleets using the platform have reported up to 75% fewer collisions and up to 15% reductions in fuel use and emissions; these reported results should not be treated as a promise for another fleet.

Pricing

5Keys Engage is paid, with custom pricing. The 5Keys Engage Platform plan requires contacting Smith System for details. No free plan, trial, seat allowance, or usage quota is established. Buyers should request a proposal and clarify the terms that affect their fleet before comparing total costs.

Platforms

The platform is available on web, Android, and iOS. The mobile app is listed for Android and iPhone/iPad. Google Play says data is encrypted in transit and users can request data deletion; Smith System describes its privacy approach as transparent, improvement-focused, and protective. Fleets should review how mobile monitoring fits their policies and driver expectations.

Who it's for

5Keys Engage is best suited to fleets that want to combine driver risk scoring, coaching, compliance tools, video evidence, and structured training in one workflow. It is less suited to buyers who only need a narrowly focused camera or telematics product, or who need a clear published price before engaging sales.

Pros and cons

• Pro: The scorecard draws on telematics, cameras, video, and training, giving managers multiple perspectives on fleet behavior.
• Pro: Driver, trainer, and manager tools connect performance tracking with assigned learning and coaching.
• Pro: Existing telematics data can be ingested, including from systems such as Geotab.
• Con: Custom pricing means fleets must contact Smith System to assess cost and fit.
• Con: Mobile sensor-based behavior detection makes privacy review a necessary part of rollout.

Verdict

Choose 5Keys Engage if your fleet wants driver scorecards, coaching, and training tied to information from telematics, cameras, and video. The integrated workflow is its strongest reason to consider it; custom pricing and the need to evaluate mobile privacy are the clearest reasons to look elsewhere.
