Create virtual boundaries around stores, client offices, warehouses, and sites. Automatically detect Enter, Exit, and Dwell to verify visits, prevent location spoofing, and trigger workflows in real time.
Works seamlessly on:
Geo fencing (also written as geofencing) creates a virtual perimeter around a location like a client office, retail store, warehouse, or construction site. When a phone, vehicle, or asset crosses that boundary, the system generates an event (Enter/Exit) and can validate activity (Dwell). This is the foundation of geo fence tracking: not just “where someone is”, but “did they reach the right place at the right time and stay there long enough?”
Automatically logs when someone arrives, leaves, or stays at a site for a required duration.
Use events as proof of visits and trigger workflows: start job, open checklist, notify manager, create timesheet entry.
Every event can carry accuracy, device, timestamp, and rule checks useful for compliance and dispute resolution.
GPS + Network + Wi-Fi signals to estimate position more reliably.
Radius/polygon + conditions like dwell time, schedule windows, and accuracy threshold.
Enter/Exit/Dwell events can trigger actions, notifications, and attendance/job logs.
Event timeline + map view + exports for operational and compliance reporting.
Define boundaries → track entry/exit/dwell → validate signals → trigger workflows → generate audit-ready proof.
From drawing a fence to generating actionable events here’s the practical flow used by modern geofencing systems.
Draw a circle (radius) or polygon (custom boundary) on the map. Set rules like schedule windows, allowed accuracy (e.g., ≤ 50m), and dwell duration.
The device shares location signals (GPS + network). The system compares the coordinates against the fence and runs checks for anomalies like impossible jumps, low accuracy, or spoofing patterns.
On Enter, Exit, or Dwell, TeamSpoor can notify stakeholders, start a visit timer, open checklists, log attendance, or create a job/task entry automatically.
A fence is stored as either a circle (center + radius) or polygon (list of points). Polygons are ideal for irregular sites like plants, campuses, or large compounds.
The app can request location updates intelligently to balance battery vs accuracy. When close to an expected site or during work hours, it can check more frequently; otherwise, it can reduce sampling.
The system evaluates whether the coordinate is inside/outside the fence. A dwell rule confirms “stayed long enough” (e.g., 10 minutes) so quick drive-bys don’t count as real visits.
Each event can store evidence: timestamp, accuracy, device info, network state, and validation flags useful for audits, payroll disputes, SLA proof, and compliance.
Ignore low-quality readings and require minimum precision for “valid” events.
Flag sudden long-distance jumps, impossible speeds, or inconsistent accuracy patterns.
Optional rules like device binding, selfie verification, and time-window checks for critical workflows.
Capture events without network and sync later events retain original timestamps and evidence.
Smaller fences are stricter but may fail indoors; larger fences are more forgiving but less precise. For most sites, start around 100–200m and tune based on real readings and accuracy.
Everything you need to turn location into verified actions tracking, alerts, proof, and automation.
Use radius-based fences for quick setup, or polygons for precise boundaries around campuses, plants, or large sites.
Track arrivals, departures, and time-spent. Dwell helps validate real visits vs pass-by detections.
Trigger workflows: notify managers, start service timers, open checklists, auto-tag attendance, or create tasks.
Confirm planned visits: did reps reach assigned outlets? Which stops were missed? What was the dwell time per stop?
Store evidence per event (time, accuracy, device). Export reports to Excel/PDF for operations, payroll, or compliance.
Reduce fake check-ins with validation flags and rule-based checks (accuracy thresholds, anomalies, optional selfie/device binding).
Geo fence tracking is useful anywhere “being at the right place” changes what should happen next.
Allow check-in/check-out only inside a site fence. Add dwell to prevent quick “touch-and-go” marks. Perfect for remote staff, client locations, and multi-site operations.
Auto-start a job timer on entering a customer site. Capture dwell as proof of service time. Auto-create visit reports, parts usage, and closure steps.
Trigger “Arrived at Warehouse”, “Departed”, “Reached Hub”, “Delivered” based on geofence events. Reduce manual status updates and improve ETA accuracy.
Verify outlet visits, enforce beat plans, and track dwell per store. Combine with checklists (planogram, POSM) and photo proofs.
Track teams across multiple sites, enforce restricted zones, and get daily rollup reports. Great for contractors, supervisors, and vendor movement tracking.
Get notified when vehicles or high-value assets leave a yard or enter an unauthorized area. Maintain an event history for investigations and compliance.

GPS tracking answers “where are they now?” Geo fencing answers “did the important location event happen?”
| Capability | GPS Tracking | Geo Fencing / Geo Fence Tracking |
|---|---|---|
| Primary Goal | Live location visibility and movement history. | Event-driven proof: Enter/Exit/Dwell at key places. |
| Automation | Limited unless combined with rules. | Triggers workflows, alerts, and status updates automatically. |
| Operational Proof | Shows movement but not “verified stop” by itself. | Dwell + accuracy checks create visit proof and SLA evidence. |
| Best For | Fleet visibility, general tracking, route playback. | Attendance, visits, deliveries, restricted zones, and compliance. |
