What does Geofence mean in logistics?
Short answer
A virtual boundary drawn around a location on a map, such as a plant, warehouse or toll plaza, so that a tracking system records when a vehicle enters or leaves it.
Indian control towers use geofences to time reporting, loading, detention and unloading automatically. Accurate geofence radius and position matter: a fence that is too large or placed off-site produces false detention. Ask our desk how this applies to your consignment.
