Geofencing: Definition for Field Employee Tracking

Geofencing creates virtual GPS boundaries around job sites so mobile time clocks only work when employees are physically on site.

Definition

A geofence is a virtual perimeter (circle or polygon) on a map. Mobile apps trigger clock-in, alerts, or automation when a device enters or exits the boundary.

Field applications

Job-site attendance · auto clock-in · visit verification · off-site punch blocking
