Geofencing can transform the way businesses operate and how they interact with customers. It is a powerful tool that can send customized notifications to customers whenever they enter a specific geographical boundary. By leveraging geofencing, businesses can send notifications tailored to the customer’s interests and preferences, improving customer engagement and experience. Geofencing does more than just push ads when a user is in a specific geographic area. It has a variety of uses that can help businesses in many ways. Here are just a few of the ways geofencing can help:
- Security personnel can be alerted when someone tries to access a prohibited area.
- Asset administrators can be notified when company assets are taken outside the office premises.
- Employees can use an app to book their timesheets within the office premises.
By defining a permissible radius and associating it with each action, app administrators can enable Geo Fencing to alert technicians of other open asset maintenance activities in the vicinity. Combining the capabilities of Geo-Fencing with the accuracy of high-precision Trimble GNSS receivers, asset managers can rest assured that location errors associated with mobile GPS will be a thing of the past. With Geo-Fencing, asset managers can increase the efficiency of their maintenance activities and maximize the performance of their teams.
Native apps such as the EAM360 Mobile app uses geofencing to make your maintenance operations more efficient. With this feature, when users enter a virtual boundary for performing maintenance, they are automatically provided with a push notification in EAM360 mobile app. A notification tap takes the user to the Open Work Orders screen, which displays the open work orders in the location. The orders can then be assigned and worked on. Even better, the geo-fence notifications can be configured so that only the work orders that match the primary craft of the login user are displayed - improving the user experience even further.
Through notifications triggered by the user’s position within a geographical boundary, technicians can quickly and easily open the details of a work order or start the clock without any fuss.
Geofencing has many applications and is an excellent tool for businesses to improve their processes and enhance customer experience. Through geofencing, businesses can automate tasks and streamline operations, allowing more time to focus on other areas.
