How It Works:
Defining Boundaries: Employers or administrators define specific geographical areas and create virtual boundaries around them. These areas often encompass a workplace or project site.
Location Tracking: Employees’ movements are tracked based on GPS data, automatically recording when they enter or exit these predefined geofenced areas. This allows verification of where and when employees are working.
Use Cases:
Workforce Management: Geofences are used to verify the presence of field employees. They are particularly prevalent in industries with external operations (e.g., construction, delivery, maintenance).
Security and Efficiency: They provide employers with real-time insights into the safety and productivity of employees within designated areas. They also aid in optimizing workforce planning and time tracking processes.
Integration and Software Variants:
Geofence solutions often integrate with personnel management systems, enhancing operational efficiency and compliance monitoring. They contribute to better resource allocation and adherence to operational protocols.
Geofences play a crucial role in modern workforce management by ensuring accurate location-based tracking and enhancing operational oversight.
