Your Fleet Is Always Moving—Stay One Step Ahead
When your vehicles are constantly on the road or parked across various job sites, keeping track of their whereabouts can feel impossible. That’s where geofencing and location-based alerts come in.
Austin Security’s Connected Fleet platform lets you create virtual boundaries—also known as geofences—and sends real-time alerts whenever a vehicle enters or exits these zones. Whether you’re monitoring job site access, tracking deliveries, or preventing unauthorized after-hours use, location alerts put you in control without needing to micromanage your drivers.
How Geofencing Works
Geofencing uses GPS and mapping tools to draw virtual boundaries on your digital dashboard. These boundaries can be customized for:
- Job sites
- Delivery zones
- High-risk or restricted areas
- Company property
Once a vehicle crosses the perimeter, the system automatically sends a notification to your device. No need to monitor a screen 24/7—the system does it for you.
Benefits of Location Alerts
- Proof of Arrival: Confirm your drivers arrived on time at the job site or delivery location.
- After-Hours Monitoring: Know if a vehicle moves during non-working hours.
- Restricted Area Alerts: Get notified if a vehicle enters an unauthorized or unsafe zone.
- Improved Customer Service: Use arrival and departure times to confirm service windows.
“We set up geofences around all our client locations. Now we get alerts when the crew arrives and leaves. It keeps everyone accountable.” — Austin Security Client, Commercial Landscaping Business
