Geofencing in fleet management
Geofencing is a feature that uses GPS to create digital geographical boundaries called geofences. These geofences trigger predefined actions when fleet vehicles enter or leave these zones, which can include locations such as company headquarters, customer sites, secure areas, fields or even cities.
The benefits of geofencing in fleet management :
Delineate geographical zones: establish specific areas where your vehicles and equipment can be located, so you can monitor them.
Track your fleet directly: analyze the activity of your vehicles on site, such as journey times, stops, frequency and number of stops, visits, schedules and duration of interventions (working time).
Travel optimization: assess the suitability of your employees' delivery and driving routes to detect malfunctions and introduce improvement measures to reduce distances traveled, cut journey times and control fuel consumption.
Improved customer satisfaction: use push notifications to alert you if one of your employees is running late for a customer. This way, you can quickly inform the customer of the situation.
Vehicle theft prevention: define geofencing zones to be alerted in real time if your vehicles are moved outside predefined zones.
Ease of invoicing: Reinforce your invoicing to customers by using your teams' on-site presence reports. Geofencing can demonstrate the completion of an intervention by providing information on its date and duration.
When integrated with telematics software such as Fleeti, geofencing can give you total visibility of your operations, increasing security and transparency within your organization.
Read the testimonial from our customer Sik Yuen, who uses geofences and digital forms on a daily basis.
"With Fleeti, we optimize the monitoring of our operations. Their geolocation form solution enables us to effectively monitor the actual number of visits to our customers by each member of our team, thus ensuring impeccable customer service. The geolocated forms have also enabled us to develop our customer database on the platform, and hence the creation of geofences, which in turn enable us to track the time spent at our customers' premises. Fleeti is a very responsive and attentive partner, making collaboration efficient and pleasant."
