Geofence
A geofence is a virtual boundary drawn on a map, around a site, plant, quarry or customer gate, that a telematics system uses to log when a vehicle enters or leaves, turning raw GPS into trips, site time and billing evidence.
A geofence is a virtual boundary drawn on a map around a place that matters: a construction site, a batching plant, a quarry, a customer gate. The telematics system logs every entry and exit, which turns a raw GPS stream into events a business can count.
Why does a construction fleet use geofences?
Three reasons, all of them numbers. Trip counting: entries at the quarry and exits at the site count loads per day per truck. Idle and queue time: time inside a gate geofence separates productive work from waiting. Billing evidence: an entry/exit log is proof a truck was on a customer’s site, useful when an invoice is disputed.
Fleetric uses geofences to attribute trips, hours and cost to customers, projects and sites: the inputs cost allocation needs. See how it works.
