Geofencing Beyond the Basics: 7 Automations You Are Not Using

Most users draw a geofence around the office, switch on entry and exit alerts, and stop there. The geofence engine can do far more — here are seven automations our power users run.

Overstay alerts turn detention into data: if a truck sits inside a customer’s warehouse fence beyond the free window, the detention clock — and the detention invoice — starts automatically. Pairing loading and dumping fences counts tipper trips per shift without a supervisor holding a clipboard.

Site-entry attendance marks field staff present when their vehicle enters the project fence. After-hours movement alerts arm themselves on a schedule — any motion inside the yard between 10 pm and 6 am pages the security head. Speed-limited zones apply a different overspeed threshold inside school or plant premises.

Route corridors — long, narrow fences along an approved route — flag deviations within seconds. And state-boundary fences give rental operators an instant alert the moment a vehicle crosses a line it contractually should not. Every one of these is a five-minute setup in the Exohive dashboard.
