Why Use Polygonal Geofencing?

Polygonal geofencing gives you a clear, accurate view of your fleet and your mobile workforce. You’ll receive alerts when vehicles enter or leave specific locations, helping you:

  • Improve driver accountability
  • Monitor vehicle compliance in restricted zones
  • Track employee shifts accurately
  • Protect your assets and reduce theft risk

How Geo Fences Work

A geofence is a virtual boundary on a map. Unlike standard circular geofences, our polygonal geofences allow you to define exact shapes, so you can monitor irregular areas with unmatched accuracy.

Whether it’s tracking shift start and finish times, monitoring vehicle compliance in ULEZ or CAZ zones, or keeping a closer eye on valuable assets, geofencing gives your fleet management the edge it needs.

Setting Up a Geofence

Setting up a geofence with RAM Tracking is quick and intuitive; no technical expertise needed.

Here’s how it works:

  1. Log in to your RAM Tracking account.
  2. Click the “Geofencing” button above the live map.
  3. Select “Create Geofence”, give it a name, choose a category, and assign a colour.
  4. Click points on the map to draw your boundary, then close the shape to complete your polygon.

Once created, your geofence will appear on your live map instantly, updating in real time as your vehicles move. You can easily edit, rename, or delete geofences at any time.

How Fleets Use Geofencing

Polygon geofences are flexible and can be applied to a variety of use cases:

  • Vehicle depot: Monitor when drivers start and finish shifts.
  • Main office: Track punctuality for arrivals and departures.
  • ULEZ/CAZ zones: Keep vehicles compliant in restricted areas.
  • Customer sites: See exactly when staff arrive and leave, enabling accurate invoicing.

Geofencing also boosts customer service and ensures on-time deliveries. Discover our dedicated blog on geofencing for more information.
