Using Geofences in Dispatch

Overview

Geofences integrate with the dispatch system to provide accurate pickup and dropoff locations. Link geofences to projects for streamlined dispatch operations.

Geofences and Projects

When a project has a linked geofence:

• The project appears on the map at the geofence location
• Dispatch can use the geofence as pickup/dropoff point
• GPS tracking shows when equipment arrives at the project

Using Geofences as Dispatch Locations

Step 1: Create a new dispatch.

Step 2: For Pickup or Dropoff Location, select from available geofences.

Step 3: The geofence provides:

• Precise coordinates
• Visual map reference
• Automatic arrival detection

Benefits of Geofence-Linked Dispatch

• Accuracy - Clear location definition for drivers
• Automation - System detects actual arrivals
• Tracking - Know exactly when equipment reached destination
• Reporting - Time-on-site metrics by geofence

Setting Up Integration

1. Create geofence for each project location
2. Link geofence to project record
3. Geofence automatically available in dispatch location dropdowns

Tips

• Name geofences to match project names for easy selection
• Create geofences for yards and shops too
• Use specific geofences for different site entrances if needed
