Solution
Geofencing + sites
Circular geofences. Entry, exit, dwell, unauthorised-use alerts. Site and project-level reporting that aggregates every asset on site, regardless of owner.
What this does
Circular zones, layered
Teletrack's geofencing isn't just a single circle drawn around your depot. It's a layered system for managing where assets are allowed to be, where they need to be, and what counts as 'on site' for reporting.
Zones are drawn as circles — drop a centre point on the map and set the radius. Useful for yards, customer addresses, project sites, service catchments, and no-go areas.
Alerts
Alerts you can trigger from a zone
Entry
An asset crosses into a zone — get a notification by email or in-platform. Useful for 'arrived at customer site', 'entered no-go area', or 'off-site machine returned to yard'.
Exit
An asset leaves a zone — same channels. Useful for 'left depot without dispatch', 'left customer site at end-of-shift', or 'moved out of state-defined area'.
Dwell time
An asset is inside a zone for longer than X minutes / hours / days. Catches over-runs on customer sites, abandoned machines, and assets that have been sitting in yards longer than expected.
Unauthorised use
An asset moves inside a zone where it shouldn't be moving — for example, after-hours movement in a depot.
Site and project reporting
Where Teletrack pulls ahead of typical telematics
Most platforms report on assets you own. Teletrack reports on sites — aggregating every asset working there, regardless of who owns it.
What that means in practice
- A Tier 1 head contractor running a project site sees every sub-contractor's machine on the site, with hours, location, pre-start status, and operator activity — provided each sub-contractor is also on Teletrack or has shared a portal view (see Portal Sharing Mode 2).
- A hire business with multiple yards rolls up activity by yard — assets in / assets out / utilisation by branch.
- A civil contractor on a multi-site project gets one report per site showing every machine that's been on that site this week, regardless of whether it's owned, hired in, or sub-contracted.
Pair geofencing with portal sharing Mode 2 and you have a site-aware platform that head contractors can actually rely on.
Use cases
Where customers use this
Yard management
Circular zones around every depot. Entry / exit alerts catch unbooked movements.
Project sites
Circular zones around active construction or civil sites. Pair with portal sharing to share a live site view with the head contractor.
Customer site visibility
Circular zones around each customer's address. Alerts when a hired machine arrives, when it leaves, and how long it's been there. Useful for charge-by-usage and dispute resolution.
Service-area alerts
Service businesses use geofences to trigger maintenance or service workflows when an asset enters a service area. Combine with the Maintenance module.
No-go zones
Exclusion zones around sensitive areas — public roads, environmentally protected ground, after-hours-only areas. Unauthorised-use alerts fire when a machine enters.
Charge-by-usage
Zone-based dwell reporting (time on a customer site) drives hire charge-out where the customer pays for time on site, not just hours hired. The report and the invoice line up.
Hardware compatibility — every device in the range
Geofencing works on every device in the Teletrack range — battery, OBD plug-in, and hardwired. Accuracy and reporting frequency improve with hardwired CANBUS-equipped trackers (TrakaX® Series 2, Teltonika FMM250 / FMM650, Ruptela Smart5). A battery tracker reporting twice a day will trigger at the next report after entry — useful for daily summaries but not for live alerting. If geofencing is core to how you run the business, we'd recommend a hardwired CANBUS device on those assets.

How many zones can I draw?
There's no hard limit. Customers routinely run hundreds of zones — every customer address, every yard, every active project — without performance issues. Zones are managed centrally and can be grouped for bulk operations.
How accurate is the zone trigger?
Trackers don't report on a fixed clock — they report on accelerometer movement, heartbeat / time-interval check-ins, and input changes (ignition, digital inputs). An asset entering or exiting a zone usually triggers very close to when it crossed the boundary, even between scheduled heartbeats.
Battery devices (Barra GPS, Asset5) lean more on time-based check-ins to preserve battery, so the trigger waits for the next report.
Can a head contractor see all assets on their site, even if my sub-contractors run different fleets?
Yes — if those sub-contractors are also on Teletrack and share a portal view. The site report rolls up assets across owners. If sub-contractors aren't on Teletrack, the head contractor only sees the assets that are. See Portal Sharing Mode 2.
Are zones tied to specific assets or platform-wide?
Platform-wide by default. You define a zone once and any asset can trigger against it. You can scope which assets trigger alerts for which zones via the alert rule — for example, only forklifts trigger exit alerts on the warehouse zone.
Is there a separate price for geofencing?
No. Geofencing and zone alerts are included in the Track plan at $21.90 / asset / month. Site and project-level reporting is part of the core platform. SMS-delivered alerts may incur additional charges.
