Geofencing and Fleet Alerts: A Guide for Sri Lankan Businesses

What Is Geofencing?

Geofencing creates virtual boundaries on a map around specific locations, warehouses, construction sites, customer zones, or restricted areas. When a GPS-tracked vehicle enters or exits these boundaries, the fleet management system sends an instant alert to the manager's phone or dashboard. In Sri Lanka, geofencing is used by logistics companies to confirm warehouse arrivals, construction firms to verify site visits, and school transport operators to ensure buses stay on approved routes.

How Geofencing Works with Fleeticc

Setting up geofences on Fleeticc is simple: draw a circle or polygon on the map around any location in Sri Lanka, name it (e.g., 'Colombo Warehouse', 'Kandy Site'), and configure entry/exit alerts. When a tracked vehicle crosses the boundary, you receive a push notification on the Fleeticc app.

Types of Fleet Alerts

Beyond geofencing, Fleeticc provides a comprehensive alert system for proactive fleet management:

• Speed Alerts: Notification when a vehicle exceeds your set speed limit.
• Ignition Alerts: Know when a vehicle engine starts or stops.
• Engine Idle Alerts: Detect when a vehicle is running but stationary.
• Device Offline Alerts: Know when a tracker loses connection.
• Hard Braking & Rapid Acceleration: Driver behaviour alerts from supported devices.
• Fuel Alerts: Refuel and fuel theft alerts on 5L-equipped vehicles.
• Restricted Driving Alerts: Movement alerts during configured time windows.
• Geofence Alerts: Entry and exit notifications for virtual boundaries.

Real-World Use Cases in Sri Lanka

Sri Lankan businesses use geofencing and alerts in practical ways: logistics companies get notified when lorries arrive at warehouses; construction firms verify site visits through geofence alerts and trip playback; school transport operators monitor route boundaries. Alert history and trip records provide evidence without manual check-ins.

Setting Up Geofences and Alerts with Fleeticc

Fleeticc makes geofencing accessible to every fleet operator in Sri Lanka. Create unlimited geofences, configure alert settings per vehicle, and review alert history in the dashboard. Combined with real-time tracking and trip playback, geofencing helps you monitor where vehicles go without micromanaging every driver.
