Geofences let you draw virtual boundaries around important locations and track when vehicles enter or leave these areas. Perfect for monitoring yards, customer sites, or any location that matters to your business.
Discover how to create geofences and set up reports and alerts based on vehicle movements.
What Are Geofences?
Geofences are virtual boundaries you draw on the map around specific locations. When vehicles enter or leave these areas, the system tracks this movement.
Viewing Existing Geofences
Click Geofences in the top menu to see all your current geofences displayed on the map.
Creating a New Geofence
Step 1: Start Creating
Click Create Geofence (bottom left)
Give your geofence a name
Choose a category (helps organise geofences in collapsible menus)
Set a colour for easy identification
Step 2: Draw the Area
Start drawing on the map
Create any size area you need; there are no size restrictions
Complete the boundary around your chosen location
How Geofences Work
When a vehicle enters a geofence:
The geofence name appears in bold at the bottom of the screen
Instead of showing the street name, it shows your geofence name
You can easily see if someone is "back at base", "at the yard", or "gone home"
For example, if Joe Bloggs is at our headquarters, the bottom display would show "Ram HQ geofence" instead of the street address.
