Understanding Geofences

Geofences are virtual boundaries on the map. Use them to track when equipment enters or leaves job sites, yards, or restricted areas.

What is a Geofence?

A geofence is a virtual perimeter around a real-world location:

• Drawn as a polygon on the map
• Has a name and optional description
• Triggers alerts when assets cross the boundary

Common Uses

• Job Sites - Track which equipment is on site
• Equipment Yards - Know when assets leave the yard
• Restricted Areas - Alert when equipment enters no-go zones
• Customer Sites - Track time spent at customer locations

Geofence Alerts

CLUE can notify you when:

• Asset enters a geofence
• Asset leaves a geofence
• Asset stays too long in a geofence

Benefits

• Know equipment location relative to projects
• Reduce unauthorized use
• Improve dispatch efficiency
• Track utilization by job site

Tips

• Create geofences for all active job sites
• Include some buffer around the actual site boundary
• Name geofences clearly (match project names)
• Review "Left Geofence" alerts in Asset Insights
