1. Geofencing and Alerts - myGeoTracking

2. Geo-fencing & Alerts Geofencing is a term that is increasingly getting popular in the Location Based Services arena and so we decided to break it up for you! What is a Geo-fence • Geo-fence, also known as geozone, is a virtual perimeter to predefined area of interest that is marked on a map. This can be your warehouse, construction site, or even your popular customer location. The virtual boundary is then used to trigger events based on schedule, detection of a device within the boundary etc. Application of Geo-fencing: • Whenever a worker is in a geofenced area, set off automatic alerts to dispatcher, manager or interested customers • Optimize payroll calcuations by seting up automatic checkin/checkout events when a worker enters or leaves a geofenced job site. • Create Compliance reports based on how a resource (vehicle, worker) is in a geofenced property (e.g. Facility management, Distribution Centers)

3. Traditional Geofencing • Conventional solutions available today for mobile workforce management rely either GPS, RFID or WiFi based location information from the participating device to trigger an action • Advantages: Very effective with active bread crumbing and geofencing, and they do a good job of creating fixed alerts (it depends). • Downside: • Typically require a setup which includes special devices (telematics, smartphones with apps etc) • Installation and end user participation required. • Constant Pinging impacts battery on phones. • Requites rich internet connection. • High initial Capital & Operational expense .
