User Guide
✱ Update: Ford is transitioning fleet customers from the legacy fleetaccount.ford.com portal to a new FordPro.com portal. Both portals may be active for customers during the transition, so this guide now shows the New Ford Pro Portal steps alongside the legacy steps. Once the legacy portal is fully retired, the legacy content can be removed and the New Ford Pro Portal steps will stand on their own.
✱ NOTE: Please note this guide describes the steps to be performed by the customer. You as a sales partner may assist your customer in setting up the access to the Ford Fleet Marketplace, but the consent has to be provided by the fleet customer.
Activating the Modem
1aSign Up (Legacy) | Legacy portal (fleetaccount.ford.com): You need to have a Ford account, if you already have one and a password, proceed to step 1b. If you have not set a password yet, please follow below steps:
|
1aSign Up (New) | New Ford Pro Portal (fordpro.com): If you do not yet have Ford Pro credentials, use the Sign Up option at fordpro.com.
|

|
1cAuto Consent (Legacy) | Legacy portal (fleetaccount.ford.com): You can switch the Auto-Consent feature so that all new vehicles are automatically consented in the future. a) Click on Auto-Consent Settings
b) Change the setting to ON, Select the service provider as Geotab Inc, Click Save
|
1cAuto Consent (New) | New Ford Pro Portal (fordpro.com): Once you are logged in, you can set future vehicles to be consented automatically. Select Admin → Service Providers tab → Auto-Consent Settings.
Turn the toggle ON, choose a Service Provider from the dropdown to receive consent for all future vehicles, and select Save.
Important: Auto-Consent only applies to VINs added after it is turned on — vehicles already in the account must still be manually consented (see Steps 3 and 4 below). Also, while a vehicle's consent can be granted to multiple Service Providers, Auto-Consent can only target a single Authorized Provider at a time. |
2aService Providers (Legacy) | Legacy portal (fleetaccount.ford.com): In the portal, navigate to the Fleet section on the left Panel. If you do not see the Service Providers tab, please contact the Data Services team at dataser1@fordpro.com to add it. Once complete, proceed to the next step.
|
2aService Providers (New) | New Ford Pro Portal (fordpro.com): After logging in, select Admin, then the Service Providers tab (found on the My Vehicles page alongside My Fleet, Unverified, and Decommissioned).
No Service Providers tab? This may mean the account is set up with only a Ford Pro product. If vehicles on the My Fleet tab already allow consent, no further action is needed; if consent isn't available there either, contact the Business Center at dataser1@fordpro.com for assistance. |
2bFleet (Legacy) | Legacy portal (fleetaccount.ford.com): The vehicles list under MY FLEET is populated based on your sales records up to 365 days prior. If you wish to add any missing vehicles, proceed to the next step. |
2bVehicles (New) | New Ford Pro Portal (fordpro.com): The vehicle table shows each VIN's Consent Status (for example Ready for Consent or Consented). |
3Add Vehicles (Legacy) | Legacy portal (fleetaccount.ford.com): Vehicles purchased within the last 365 days will show up in the list. To add any missing vehicles, please follow below steps: a) Navigate to the Fleet menu and click the Add Vehicles button on the right side.
b) Go to the BULK UPLOAD tab for adding devices, download the CSV template, add the vehicles in the template and upload the saved file.
Sample CSV:
c) If the added vehicles were purchased with the FIN code associated with your account, they will now appear under the main Fleet > MY FLEET menu. d) If the added vehicles could not be verified by Ford, they will become “UNVERIFIED” and show under the Fleet > UNVERIFIED Menu. Provide documentation proving ownership using the Contact FordProTM Support link. Any one of the following documents is acceptable - Copy of Title Copy of Registration Copy of Purchase/Lease Agreement Picture of VIN (B-Pillar). Please also include the information about 1) Whether you have used Ford telematics in the past and 2) Whether the vehicle has been delivered or not. Once Ford has reviewed the documentation and approves, the vehicles will automatically move to the main Fleet > MY FLEET menu. Ford support will reach out to you in case of any follow up questions.
✱ NOTE: Any future vehicles purchased using your FIN code will be automatically added to the Vehicles list. |
3Add Vehicles (New) | New Ford Pro Portal (fordpro.com): If the account is set up with a FIN (Fleet Identification Number) code, the vehicle list is pre-populated based on sales records for the past year (a FIN code isn't required for account setup). You may still need to add missing vehicles from the Service Providers or My Fleet page — either a single VIN, or a list of VINs in bulk. When adding in bulk, download the CSV template, add your VINs (all other fields are optional), and upload the file.
Ownership Verification: If an added VIN doesn't appear in the list to consent, check the Unverified tab — VINs land there when ownership verification is needed. Ford's Business Center reviews these regularly; for anything time-sensitive, contact dataser1@fordpro.com. Ford verifies ownership automatically where possible; if it can't, you'll be asked for proof of ownership — any one of: current registration, title, purchase/lease agreement, or MSO.

4Add Consent (Legacy) | Legacy portal (fleetaccount.ford.com): To provide consent, navigate to the Service Providers tab and select desired vehicles via checkbox on the left Side. In case you wish to select all vehicles in your account, select the checkbox on the top, and the menu indicating “Select All .. Vehicles”
Once you have selected all vehicles which need to be consented, use the bulk actions bar options to add consent by clicking on Bulk Actions > Add Consent
