Geofencing

Geofencing lets you draw virtual zones on the map and get alerts when workers enter or leave them.

What is a geofence?​

A geofence is a defined area on the map — a circle or polygon around a location. When a worker's GPS crosses the boundary, itsTrack triggers an alert or logs the event.

Common uses​

Use caseHow geofencing helps
Client site zonesConfirm worker arrived at the correct address
Restricted areasAlert if a worker enters a zone they should avoid
Warehouse zonesTrack when vehicles enter or leave the depot
Service regionsDefine which team covers which geographic area

Setting up a geofence​

  1. Go to Logistics → Geofencing.
  2. Click Add zone.
  3. Draw the area on the map (or set a radius around an address).
  4. Name the zone (for example, "Client ABC — Main Site").
  5. Choose what triggers an alert:
    • Worker enters the zone
    • Worker leaves the zone
    • Both
  6. Save.

Alerts and logs​

When a geofence event happens:

  • A notification can go to the manager
  • The event is logged with time, worker name, and zone name
  • Analytics update — zone violations appear in KPI Metrics

Geofencing and job check-in​

Geofencing works alongside Check-in and Check-out. You can set a geofence around a client site so the system auto-suggests check-in when the worker arrives.

Zone violations​

If a worker enters or leaves a zone unexpectedly, it counts as a zone violation in analytics. Managers can review these to:

  • Verify route compliance
  • Investigate unauthorized detours
  • Improve future route planning
warning

Geofences work best with accurate GPS. Dense urban areas or indoor sites may have reduced GPS accuracy. Use geofencing as a support tool, not the only proof of presence.
