Applying a Geofencing or 'Place' in ArmadaGPS defines a virtual boundary around an address or work-zone. For example, a place can be an address of one of your customers, suppliers or an off-road work zone. Creating a Place for your most visited addresses enables you to create a variety of Place Reports or Alerts. For example, you can receive an alert every time a vehicle enters or exits a defined area.
Groups of customers or suppliers can be collected together into a 'Place Type'. This is great when you want to view 'A Time by Place' report and see the percentage of time your vehicles have spent with customers within a specific date range.
Place Reports available on ArmadaGPS:
- Time by Place - the proportion of time vehicles have spent in defined places
- Distance by Place - the distance travelled within defined places
- Time on Site - the amount of time spent in defined places
- Delivery report - the number of journeys outside of defined “bases”
How to create a Geofence or 'Place' in ARMADAGPS:
Go to the ArmadaGPS platform and click on:
Maps > Select the Edit Places Icon which looks like a signpost on the right hand Icons toolbar.
Select New > Enter a Name, any details, (Type is something your Administrator will setup specific to your business like Customer, Base etc.)
Check > the Override Address box or Off Road box, depending on what you would like to report on. The Override simply means to use the Name you have chosen.
Draw > your defined Place by clicking and dropping on the map in the specific place or search in the address bar in the top right next to the magnifying glass.
