What is Geofencing and how do I set up it?

Geofencing is more than just a buzzword; it’s a powerful feature that simplifies fleet management and enhances operational efficiency. By using geofencing, Track-POD automatically logs your drivers' arrivals at designated stops, eliminating the need for manual check-ins. This not only saves time but also reduces the chances of errors, allowing for a smoother workflow.

How to Set Up Geofencing in the Web App

Setting up geofencing in Track-POD is a straightforward process. Follow these steps to get started:

1. Access the Settings: Log into your Track-POD account and navigate to the Settings menu.

2. Go to Mobile Workflow: From the Settings menu, select Mobile Workflow, then click on Advanced.

3. Enable Geofencing: You will see a toggle labeled Enabled. Turn it on to activate geofencing for your drivers' mobile app. Please note that this feature is available only for Advanced Plus, Ultimate, and Enterprise pricing plans.

4. Driver Control: If you want to give your drivers the option to disable geofencing in their mobile app settings, turn one the second toggle labeled Allow driver to disable geofencing. If this feature is not enabled, drivers will not have the ability to turn off geofencing.

5. Set Geofence Radius: The final step is to define the geofence radius for your clients' addresses. For instance, if you set the geofencing radius to 100 meters, your drivers will be unable to confirm delivery if they are located more than 100 meters away from the customer’s location.

By following these steps, you can effectively implement geofencing in your fleet management process.
