Stay in Zone

Example

A Stay in Zone alert is triggered when a vehicle exits an assigned geofence area where it is required to remain. For example, if a construction loader designated to operate within a quarry boundary moves outside the geofence during active monitoring hours, the alert is activated. Based on the configured actions, the system sends an SMS or in-app notification, and if an Immobilize or Send Command action is enabled, the vehicle can be automatically stopped to prevent unauthorized movement beyond the designated area.
