Welcome and Geofence Screens | M2M Mobile App
The Welcome Screen needs no introduction, so let me tell you a bit about geofences.
The geofence functionality in a GPS monitoring system is used to manage and control the movement of objects within specific geographical zones. It automates processes and enhances monitoring efficiency. Here are the main purposes and benefits:
1) Route and Location Control
Tracks whether an object (e.g., a vehicle) enters or exits a predefined zone.
Useful for ensuring adherence to delivery or movement routes.
2) Alerts and Notifications
Sends notifications when an object leaves or enters a defined zone.
Helps prevent theft or unauthorized use of vehicles.
3) Logistics Optimization
Automates tracking of arrival/departure times at warehouses or client locations.
Improves data accuracy for route planning and time management.
4) Enhanced Safety
Geofences can create "restricted zones" where the presence of an object is undesirable (e.g., hazardous or private areas).
Reduces risks and improves transportation security.
5) Data Collection and Reporting
Enables data collection on visits to specific zones for performance analysis.
Useful for evaluating employee productivity or analyzing customer activity.
6) Monitoring Children, Pets, or Individuals with Special Needs
For personal use, geofences help monitor the movement of loved ones to ensure their safety.
