A well-known and ever-increasing technology in the location-based fleet management systems and workforce is geoFencing. It is set up to play a vital role in the development of new applications.<\/p>\n
In a nutshell, geofences can be thought of as virtual perimeters on a map. They can be a square, circle or another shape created for a specific purpose. Geofencing, just like a physical fence, can be used for monitoring and recording exit and entry of a place within the ‘fence’ automatically.<\/p>\n
How GeoFencing Improves the Overall Productivity of your Fleet Business<\/strong><\/p>\n The good news for fleet businesses is that geofencing offers a truckload of benefits.<\/p>\n Arriving and Departing from Work Sites<\/em><\/p>\n It’s important that your fleet drivers arrive on time at a job site. With geofencing, there’s no need for time cards. This technology will alert you when your workers arrive on a job site and the time they began work. They no longer will have to clock in or fill out timesheets. With this technology, drivers are unable to use fleet vehicles and equipment without authorization since you will be alerted each time a vehicle leaves a designated area and therefore allowing you to track where your equipment is during work hours.<\/p>\n
