Types of geofence
- Circle: a centre point and radius, quick to create
- Polygon: a custom shape that follows a site boundary
- Route corridor: a band along an expected route
Applications
Fleet
Record arrivals at customer sites, depot departures and unauthorised areas.
Asset security
Get an alert when equipment leaves a yard or site, especially out of hours.
Personal safety
Get notified when a family member arrives at school, home or a care setting.
Tips
- Make geofences slightly larger than the site to allow for GPS drift
- Combine with time rules to reduce unnecessary alerts
- Name geofences clearly so reports are easy to read
