How accurate are the geofences?

Geofence accuracy depends on GPS signal quality — typically 5-20 meters. We use a combination of GPS, Wi-Fi, and cell tower data for the best accuracy.

Can I set up geofences from mobile?

Geofences are created and edited from the web dashboard. Mobile users see geofences on the map and receive entry/exit notifications.

Is there a limit on geofences?

No hard limit. You can create as many geofences as your operation needs. Performance remains excellent even with hundreds of zones.

Do geofences drain battery?

We use the OS-native geofencing APIs (iOS Core Location, Android Geofencing API) which are highly battery-efficient — they do not require continuous GPS polling.

What you get with Geofencing

Create geofences and location zones. Get automatic alerts when team members enter or leave areas. Track time on site and enforce coverage.

Geofence Zones

Draw circles, polygons, or rectangles on the map to define zones. Each zone triggers automatic entry and exit events.

Instant Alerts

Get push notifications when team members enter or leave a geofence. Configurable per zone and per role.

Time on Site

Automatically track how long each team member spends inside a zone. Generate reports for client billing and compliance.

Nested Zones

Create zones within zones — property boundary, building perimeter, restricted area. Each triggers independently.

Location Profiles

Attach post orders, contacts, access codes, and notes to each location. Team members see everything they need on arrival.

Coverage Analytics

See which locations are getting the most coverage and which are underserved. Optimize patrol distribution with data.

Works great with

Live Map

Routes & Patrols

Plan patrol routes with checkpoints. Track patrol tour completion in real time. NFC, QR, and GPS verification at every stop.

NFC & QR

Verify team member patrol checkpoints with NFC tags and QR codes. Tamper-proof, geolocated, and timestamped scans for proof of presence.
