Geofencing that tells you the moment a truck arrives, leaves or overstays
Draw virtual zones around your depots, customer sites, warehouses, toll plazas and hazardous areas. See an instant alert on every entry and exit as well as any overstay — and a running log of visits, dwell time and violations by each zone — and you know what's going on at every location without having to make a phone call.
- Alerts for entry, exit and overstay in all zones.
- Visit and dwell-time logs for each location
- Zones are used as route deviation checkpoints.
Geofencing overview
You are not aware of what is going on at your own establishments
Was the truck delivered to the customer? How many days was it stored in the warehouse? Has it gone past a fence? When there is no geofencing, the answers are delivered by the driver – late, vague and unverifiable – but detention charges, unauthorised stops and overstays quietly stack up.
Unverified arrivals
driver can tell you he arrived and departed on schedule, but there is no proof.
Overstays that go unseen
Trucks idle at customer docks and in warehouses for hours without anybody realizing it costs them money.
Restricted-zone entries
Vehicles enter into hazardous and/or no-go zones, unknown to anyone until an incident occurs.
Detention disputes
Without any dwell-time records, detention disputes are impossible to prove and thus are not collected at the customer's site.
Charges recovered and/or proof, control.
Prove arrivals
Entry/exit logs confirm that a truck arrived and departed the site as scheduled – not taking the driver's word.
Catch overstays
Overstays alerts will detect trucks idling at docks and depots so you don't face high costs.
Recover detention
Convert delay on the customer site to a billable detention.
Set up no-go zones
Hazardous-zone alerts will warn against entry to restricted areas as soon as it occurs.
Know your network
Visit counts and average stays will tell you which locations have a negative impact on your fleet.
One connected system across FleetStack through Powers routing & alerts
Zones feed route planning and one connected alert centre.
The use of zones, alerts and a log of all visits
FleetStack transforms your key locations into smart zones that keep an eye on them — notifying you with each move and keeping track of what happened.
A circle for all types of locations
Create a geofence for any location that has significance and then assign a specific type, e.g. depot, warehouse, customer site, toll plaza, checkpoint or hazardous zone, to each, with different radius values and alert rules. Your actual locations network is transformed into a real-time monitored map.
- Depot — home base, yard, parking
- They are also used in loading & storage areas in warehouses.
- Service areas within the client's premises.Customer delivery areas — client sites.
- The stations of the toll road — toll plaza.
- Checkpoint — route waypoints
- Hazardous — no-go / restricted areas
Be able to recognize when a vehicle is moving.
An alert is triggered on entrance, exit or when a vehicle exceeds a limit in a zone. The moment a truck arrives at a customer, departs from the depot or spends too much time at a warehouse the moment is marked and you are told.
- Average number of entries and exits per zone.
- Be aware of overstaying time limit
- Alerts are received into the main alert centre.
The chronological record of all visits and duration of visits.
Each zone maintains a running tally (Entries, Exits, Total Visits, Average Stay, Idle Time and Violations). To demonstrate if a truck has arrived at a customer, how long it has been in the dock, and to support a detention claim, with the evidence of hard dwell time, not an argument.
- Entries, exits, visits and average stay per zone
- Idle and violation time logged
- Evidence for detention claims, Dwell-time.
Use turnover areas as turn points
The geofences are used as waypoints for route planning, origin, checkpoints and destination are all zones. A route deviation alert will generate if a vehicle stops short or deviates from the intended route, creating a unified system of geofencing and routing.
- Zones used as route origin, checkpoints & destination
- Missed-checkpoint and route-deviation alerts
- With route planning and live tracking.
