GPS geofencing

Fleet Geofencing and Real-Time Geofence Alerts

Crystal geofencing utilises GPS to create virtual boundaries around any geographic area on a map view. When a device crosses that zone limit, the geofencing system triggers an alert by SMS, email, or notification. You control the radius and rules for every geofence you set.

Ctrack's geofencing technology monitors fleet locations using GPS tracking data from installed devices. Crystal displays active geofences on a map in your browser, showing which vehicles are within geofence zones. When vehicles cross a zone, you know immediately. Combine with fleet tracking or asset tracking to track trailers between job sites.

  • Entry and exit geofence alertsReceive an instant alert when a vehicle enters or exits a predefined geofence area — the enter or exit trigger fires immediately.
  • Custom zone shapes and radiusDraw a virtual fence around any location, defining polygonal zones around specific areas.
  • Instant team notificationsSet the geofence trigger to notify your team the moment any vehicle crosses a zone. Supports SMS, email, and in-platform alerts.

Fleet productivity

Benefits of Geofencing for Fleet Productivity

Vehicles wander outside planned routes. Drivers spend too long at customer sites. Geofencing gives you data to measure time spent within geofence zones at each geographical location, compare routes against schedules, and spot where productivity drops.

Geofencing helps verify customer delivery times, confirm depot arrivals, and automate timekeeping across work site locations. Zone-based monitoring shows which company vehicles are productive and which depart from their assigned geographic area.

  • Time-at-site trackingMeasure time spent within geofence zones at every customer or job site.
  • Route deviation alertsTrigger an alarm when vehicles enter zones around restricted areas.
  • Unauthorised use preventionZone monitoring helps prevent unauthorized vehicle use outside approved routes and hours.

How Geofencing and Telematics Improve Fleet Management

Manual zone management relies on phone calls and guesswork. Automated geofencing with telematics provides continuous monitoring with verifiable data, giving fleet managers full transparency over vehicle movements.

Security and compliance

Vehicle Geofencing to Enhance Fleet Security

Around 12,000 vehicles are stolen in New Zealand each year. Vehicle geofencing adds a security layer beyond GPS tracking alone. Set geofences around your depot perimeter and storage yards. If any vehicle moves outside that zone after hours, Crystal will notify the designated manager immediately.

Fleets with diesel vehicles can also create virtual boundaries around private land to record GPS evidence for RUC off-road refund claims. Customise each geofence to match your organisation's specific needs, and connect geofencing data with fleet reporting to reduce costs across your operation.

  • After-hours movement alertsDesignate operating hours per geofence. Movement outside those hours triggers a signal to prevent theft.
  • GPS or RFID trackingPair geofence alerts with GPS trackers to speed up stolen vehicle recovery.

Geofencing questions from NZ fleet operators

Common questions about fleet geofencing software in New Zealand.

A geofence is a virtual geographic boundary drawn on a map. The system tracks location using GPS signals and sends an alert when a vehicle enters or exits the geofence area, by SMS, email, or push notification. You predefine zones, set the radius, and choose which events trigger a reminder. To ensure accurate tracking, each geofence is anchored to a specific geographical location in Crystal, viewable from any browser.
