Why Geofencing is the First Layer of Protection for Your Assets

Manual Processes Lead to Blind Spots

Unmonitored Movement = Lost Equipment

Equipment that crosses a site boundary without a digital perimeter isn’t missing, it’s invisible.
Geofencing sends instant alerts the moment an asset moves, so unauthorized activity is caught immediately, not hours later.

Hidden Costs Erode Profitability

Data Blind Spots Become Security Blind Spots

When systems aren’t connected, movement logs, fuel usage, and location events don’t line up. Geofencing links every asset to a location, timestamp, and zone, exposing unauthorized use, missing hours, and every after-hours move.

Lack of Integration Prevents Insight

The Cost Goes Far Beyond the Machine

Heavy equipment theft in the U.S. costs $300M–$1B a year, and that’s before counting idle crews, stalled projects, or days of delays. Geofencing cuts response time from “something’s off” to immediate action.

Lack of Integration Prevents Insight

No GPS Perimeter, No Protection

When equipment crosses a site boundary without a GPS-defined perimeter, it isn’t just missing,  it’s untraceable. GPS-powered geofences trigger instant alerts the moment a location update shows movement, catching unauthorized activity immediately instead of hours later.

Smarter Jobsite Security With Geofence-Based Control

Clue’s geofencing turns jobsite boundaries into real-time insights, keeping equipment, projects, and teams fully in sync.

Draw Precise Geofences

Define virtual boundaries around job sites, laydown yards, haul roads, and off-limit zones. Clue’s geofences turn your sites into digitally enforced zones, giving you a complete view of assets and projects in one pane of glass, so equipment stays exactly where it should.

End-to-End Equipment Cost Tracking

Automated Asset Assignment

Movement drives the data. Assets auto-assign the moment they enter a geofence and unassign when they leave. Every boundary crossed updates your fleet records instantly, keeping every project accurate, automatically.

End-to-End Equipment Cost Tracking

Priority Zones for High-Value Equipment

Set tighter perimeters around high-risk or high-value assets. Any movement outside that zone triggers an immediate alert, giving you a head start on preventing theft or unauthorized use.

End-to-End Equipment Cost Tracking

GPS-Driven Asset Tracking

Clue tracks every asset with continuous GPS updates, keeping real-time location tied to the correct job site. Equipment stays fully accounted for inside your geofences, so any movement in or out is captured the moment it happens.

End-to-End Equipment Cost Tracking

Utilization Inside the Zone

See how long assets stay in each geofence and how they’re utilized. Spot under-used machines, rental overlap, and idle clusters across sites, all with real movement and dwell-time data.

End-to-End Equipment Cost Tracking

Report Stolen Asset

If equipment leaves a site boundary, you’re notified instantly. One click generates a detailed report with last-known location, movement trail, and timestamps. Everything needed for fast asset recovery.

End-to-End Equipment Cost Tracking

Integrates With 70+ Systems

Geofence events sync continuously with your mixed fleet; GPS, telematics, and ERP platforms all feeding one accurate view. Assign­ments, timelines, and site history stay consistent across systems.

How Geofencing with Clue Works

Instead of relying on static GPS dots, Clue turns every boundary into a live rule set that updates assignments, alerts, and utilization automatically. Here’s how the entire flow works, end-to-end.

Tag Assets Once

Tag a machine one time, and Clue keeps it tied to the right job automatically. Every boundary crossed updates the assignment in real time, so your site records stay accurate without manual cleanup.

Draw the Virtual Boundary

Create or import precise perimeters around jobsites, laydown yards, haul roads, or restricted areas. Each boundary becomes an active rule set for tracking, alerts, and reporting.

Track Movement in Real Time

Clue compares every GPS update to your geofences, logging movement, dwell time, and transitions the moment they happen. It’s not map pins; it’s boundary-aware tracking.

Get Instant Boundary Alerts

If equipment moves after-hours, leaves the site, or crosses into a restricted zone, you get an immediate alert with timestamp, location, and direction. Alerts are triggered by geofence events, not guesswork.

Assignments Update Automatically

Cross into a jobsite, the assignment updates. Leave the zone, it updates again. PMs, work orders, inspections, and reports stay in sync across the platform.

See Utilization by Jobsite

Clue shows how long each asset actually worked inside the zone versus how long it sat idle. You can spot under-used machines, rental overlap, and equipment that stayed on a job longer than needed.

Review the Full Movement Timeline

Every arrival, departure, zone entry, and movement trail is recorded. You get a complete, timestamped history for audits, theft response, billing disputes, and operational reviews.

Benefits of Geofencing with Clue

Boost Cash Flow

Stop Equipment Theft Before It Starts

Geofencing gives you immediate awareness when equipment moves off-site or after hours. Faster detection means you can intervene before a machine is gone, a project stalls, or insurance gets involved.

Protect Margins

Keep Costs Tight and Controlled

Knowing exactly where assets sit, and how long they’ve been sitting reveals unnecessary rentals, misplaced equipment, and under-used machines. Geofencing exposes hidden costs so you can cut waste before it hits the budget.

Align Finance, Operations, and Leadership

Run Jobsites with Less Waste

With live zone data and automatic project assignments, teams aren’t chasing updates or cross-checking spreadsheets. Everyone sees the same real-time picture, and decisions move faster across every jobsite.

Align Finance, Operations, and Leadership

Stay Safe, Compliant, and Documented

Every asset builds a clean movement record tied to geofenced zones. This provides defensible documentation for audits, insurance claims, contractor compliance, and safety reviews, without manual logs or uncertain timelines.

Questions?

Here are some common questions

How does geofencing work?

Geofencing uses GPS or RFID technology to track the location of assets within a defined area. Alerts are triggered when an asset enters or exits a zone.

How precise are geofences?

Geofences can be created with high accuracy, typically within a few meters, depending on the GPS technology or system used, ensuring accurate tracking for job-site management.

Can I customize the size and shape of a geofence?

Yes, geofences are customizable. You can define the size and shape of your zones to fit specific job sites, yards, or storage areas.

What happens when an asset moves outside a geofence?

When an asset exits its designated zone, instant alerts are triggered, notifying you of unauthorized movement or potential theft, allowing for quick action.
