What is a Geofence?

A geofence utilizes GPS technology allowing you to define a geographic boundary and receive alerts when a vehicle has entered or left a set location. Geofencing can help you keep track of important events. Notifications can be set up for geofences and configured to meet your needs ensuring that the right people are receiving the alerts. By customizing your geofences and alerts you can help improve the overall efficiency of your fleet.

How to use Geofences to improve fleet operations
  • Track unauthorized vehicle use

Monitor how your drivers are using vehicles by setting geofences for specific areas and hours of the day. Know if your vehicles are being used outside of the designated work schedule or not staying within allowed perimeters.

  • Improve efficiency

Minimize vehicle idle time by setting up geofence notifications to alert the team on the proximity of the vehicle. Whether it is loading a delivery van or loading building materials your team will be ready to take action minimizing time wasted.

  • Reduce Theft

Know where your vehicles are at all times. Set a perimeter around the area your vehicles are parked and create a notification to trigger when vehicles move out of the area after hours.

  • Time management & payroll

If you have drivers or technicians paid on an hourly basis, geofencing can help you keep track of their hours.

  • Improve productivity & customer service

With geofences enabled on a job site, you can see how long technicians spend on site and if they arrived on time. Use the insights gathered to improve your fleet and technician utilization. Easily provide customers with proof of service or even notify them when your technician is close.
