Benefits of Using Geofences

Setting up a geofence around your business allows you to record when your fleet leaves and returns every day. This could easily replace a time sheet.

If your fleet follows a consistent route, geofences can be set up for each stop. This way you are automatically alerted as your vehicles progress through the work day. You can make sure everything is on schedule without interrupting your drivers. It will also allow you to see which stops take the most time. You may want to use geofences to divide areas into sales regions or even mark that nearby town who loves to pull over your drivers.

Construction firms can place geofences around job sites with expensive equipment outfitted with a battery operated GPS Asset trackers. Then, if anyone takes the equipment outside of the geofence an alert is sent!

No-Go Zones

Geofences are also be used to raise alerts if vehicles, assets or staff enter areas that they should not. This can be as simple as a restricted area or even competitor sites.
