A geofence is a virtual boundary on the map around a customer or job site. It matters because it helps teams catch exceptions faster, automate reporting, and measure location performance without manual follow-up. ### Dispatch Know when vehicles reach planned zones and react faster when schedules slip. ### Sales visits Verify territory activity and compare visit patterns across customers or regions. ### Field service stops Track on-site arrival/departure timing to improve service reliability and proof of work. ## Geofence capabilities for daily operations ### Create and manage geofence zones Set zones around customer locations, depots, and worksites, then monitor them directly on your map to drive alerts, reporting, and operational actions. [Explore geofence features](/features#feature-geofences) ### Auto-label reports with your own location names Replace raw addresses with business-friendly labels so reports are easier to read, and auto-fill both location details and custom descriptions/notes when vehicles enter or leave key zones. [See geofence rewrites](/features#feature-geofence-rewrites) ### Get notified when vehicles enter or leave key locations Receive email alerts for fast exception awareness and optionally connect callback URLs/webhooks for advanced third-party automations. [See geofence alerts](/features#feature-geofence-alerts) ### Customize maps with icons and colors Use colored POIs and visual markers to separate customer types, service zones, and priority locations so operations teams can read maps faster. [View POI customization](/features#feature-geofence-poi) ### Import customer locations in bulk Bring in geofences and POIs from spreadsheets or CRM exports using CSV import with flexible column mapping, so large rollouts do not require manual entry. [Learn bulk import workflow](/features#feature-geofence-bulk-import) ### Analyze customer visit time and profitability patterns Measure time on site, compare mileage and visit behavior, and identify high-performing or underperforming customer stops for service and sales optimization.
