Collection of articles and guides on geofences and how to manage them.
The Perspio geofencing service monitors any location enabled device to determine if it’s most recent position falls within a pre-configured virtual boundary - a geofence. If an asset’s location falls inside or outside of a geofence across two consecutive location updates, a Entry event or Exit event is generated.
These events can be used to:
-
Create workflows to trigger a growing list of actions when they occur
-
Provide insights relating to the geofence
-
Assets that are currently in the geofence
-
Average time spent in geofence
-
Unique assets to interact with the geofence
-
Total entry/exit events of a geofence
-
Most number of assets in the geofence
-
-
Provide insights relating to an asset
-
How much time spend in geofence

There are three geofence objects within Perspio:
-
Custom geofences - created by end-users
-
Toll geofences - system managed
-
KML - uploaded by end-users
Example geofence use cases:
-
Some geofences are set up purely to monitor activity, providing insights into an assets movements
-
High-risk geofences can be set up to trigger an alarm workflow if unauthorised assets enter
-
Geofences can be set up across a distributed branch network to monitor stock levels at each location
-
Geofences can be used at customer sites to assist with pre-delivery notifications
