Geofencing
Geofencing is a powerful tool that allows you to create virtual boundaries around specific areas and receive alerts when a vehicle enters or exits these predefined zones. It's particularly useful for monitoring vehicle movements and ensuring fleet compliance with designated routes.
Setting Up a Geofence
To set up a Geofence for your vehicles, follow these simple steps:
-
Access Geofencing Options:
- Open the Fleet Stack app and navigate to the Geofence section under the Settings menu.
-
Define a Geofence Area:
- Choose a location on the map to define the boundaries for your Geofence. You can draw the perimeter manually or set a radius around a specific point.
-
Set Up Alerts:
- Configure notifications to alert you when a vehicle enters or exits the Geofenced area. You can adjust the alert settings based on your preferences, such as receiving an email or in-app notification.
-
Save and Activate:
- Once you've defined the area and set up alerts, save the Geofence and activate it. Your vehicles will now be monitored based on the set boundaries.
Use Cases for Geofencing
- Fleet Monitoring: Track vehicle movements within specific zones (e.g., restricted areas or delivery zones).
- Security: Receive alerts when vehicles enter or exit a specific location, helping prevent unauthorized access.
- Compliance: Ensure drivers adhere to designated routes or boundaries set by the organization.
- Efficiency: Optimize routes and reduce time spent in unauthorized or off-route areas.
By using Geofencing effectively, you can enhance your fleet management by gaining real-time insights into vehicle movements and ensuring that your fleet stays within designated boundaries, improving security, compliance, and efficiency.
