Fleet geofencing software and alerts
Create vehicle geofences and configure entry, exit, dwell, speed, idle, harsh-driving, and device-offline alerts for your fleet.
- 01
Define the site
Draw the boundary around the operational location, assign the relevant vehicles, and check that the shape reflects the actual entry and exit points.
- 02
Configure the response
Choose entry, exit, and dwell rules, set recipients and active hours, and agree who reviews the resulting alerts.
- 03
Test and tune
Check events against a known vehicle movement, acknowledge reviewed alerts, and refine thresholds based on operating patterns and device accuracy.
Quick answer
What is MoboSafe Geofencing & Fleet Alerts?
MoboSafe geofencing lets teams define map boundaries around depots, warehouses, customer sites, fuel pumps, and other locations. Entry, exit, and dwell rules turn vehicle movement into events. Fleet alerts add speed, idling, harsh-driving, and offline-device notifications, with filters, severity levels, acknowledgement, and reporting.
Capabilities at a glance
Turn site boundaries into reviewable events.
A useful alert answers more than whether a vehicle crossed a line. The operator needs the vehicle, time, location, severity, and action taken. Configuring fences and thresholds around real operational decisions helps the team focus on exceptions it can investigate.
Flexible boundaries
Draw circles, polygons, or rectangles. Name and classify the location, then assign the fence to all vehicles, selected vehicles, or groups.
Entry, exit, and dwell
Set the events that matter at each site, including a dwell duration for loading or unloading. Configure active hours and days when monitoring is needed.
Actionable alert queues
Filter alerts by type, severity, date, vehicle, driver, or group. Open the map location, review related events, and acknowledge with a comment.
Notification routing
Choose recipients and available email, SMS, or push channels. Review trends and adjust thresholds when a rule creates too much noise.

Evaluate your depot and dwell rules.
- Choose this for site and threshold exceptions
- Use geofences for entry, exit and dwell at depots, warehouses, customer sites or pumps. Assign vehicles and active hours, then give the control room a recipient and review process for each event. Trip management holds the wider journey and its exceptions.
- Check a known movement against device updates
- Compare the boundary and dwell duration with the location timestamps from an actual vehicle movement. Check the notification recipient and acknowledgement comment. Location accuracy and reporting intervals affect the event, so tune the rule around the tracking source available at the site.
Geofence precision depends on the underlying location source and reporting interval. Avoid overlapping fences that duplicate alerts. Test on actual routes and sites before relying on a rule for time-sensitive operations.
Module access, vehicle and storage limits, hardware, and supported integrations depend on your subscription and configuration. Scope your quote around the required workflows, including any third-party charges.
Test our depot and dwell rulesGeofence timing and notification questions.
Can a geofence apply only to a vehicle group?
Yes. A fence can monitor the whole fleet, selected vehicles, or a vehicle group. Active hours can further scope when the rule is monitored.
What is a dwell alert?
A dwell alert is triggered when a vehicle stays inside a boundary longer than the configured duration. It can help teams review loading, unloading, or other extended stops.
How quickly will a geofence notification arrive?
Timing depends on the location source, device reporting interval, configured rule and available notification channel. Test a known movement with your devices and recipients. The documented email, SMS and push options need configuration; confirm channel availability and any third-party charges in your quote.
