Geofences and Points of Interest
Geofence is a star feature that Underpins
Fleet Management Software
It will not be wrong to say that
geofences support fuel fleet
monitoring solutions and fortify
the fleet.
What is a Geofence?
A Geofence is like a virtual boundary
defined in the system around the
locations/spots of interest such as
delivery locations, warehouses, etc.
With the help of geofences, it is easy
to create automatic event alerts.
They provide added advantage to
fleet owners over their competitors.
How Geofences underpin Fleet Management Software
1. Better vehicle security
Once the vehicles or equipment are off duty, a geofence acts as a virtual radar that ensures
their security. In case the vehicle exits the geofence, it will notify the manager with an alarm.
2. Automatic Proof of Delivery
While there is always an option to opt for e-sign and OTP as the proof of delivery, but so many
fleet owners prefer automatic proof of delivery which is only possible with geofences.
3. Track ETA and detention time
How do you think the GPS Tracking system predicts an estimated time of arrival for the next
stop in real-time? Yes, you guessed it right. The facility of geofencing is behind it.
4. Route deviation
Yes, the most crucial feature provided by the route planning solutions is also the product of
geofencing. The combination of perfectly plotted geofences sculpts the model of route
deviation.
Benefits of Geofences
Geofence is a versatile feature
that fleet managers can utilise
creatively and strategically. Let’s
discuss a few benefits that you
can reap from the feature.
Mark your preferred locations or Points of Interest
You can mark your points of
interest as geofences for your
entire fleet. Any time any vehicle
passes by the location, you will
receive a notification about it.
Preferred locations can be official
fuel stations, favourite food joints,
homes, local offices, etc.
Geofences are an asset to the agricultural domain
They play a crucial role in keeping assets
safe inside them or keeping unwanted
assets outside the area.
They can be used to:
Separate two lands
Fence off area that shall not be
encroached.
Leave alone the area where cattle graze
Creat events using Geofence to trigger alerts
As soon as the vehicle enters/exits the
marked geofence, the fleet manager
receives an alert. Similarly, fleet managers
can create more events around a geofence
to make the most of it.
