What is Geofencing and how do I set up it?

Geofencing isn’t just a fancy term. It’s a practical feature that makes managing your fleet simpler. When drivers approach a stop, Track-POD’s geofencing logs their arrival automatically. This removes the need for manual check-ins.


How to set up geofencing in a web app?


To set up geofencing, go to the Settings -> Mobile Workflow -> Advanced. Tick the Enabled box to start using it in your driver's mobile app. 


Note: this feature is available for Advanced Plus, Ultimate. and Enterprise pricing plans.



Tick the second box, Allow driver to disable geofencing, if you want your drivers to be able to disable geofencing in the mobile app Settings.




If you don't enable this feature, your drivers won't be able to disable geofencing.

Your last step will be to set the geofence radius for your clients' addresses. For example, if you set Geofencing at 100 meters, this will mean that your drivers will not be able to confirm delivery if they are located more than a hundred meters from the customer's point.
