Overview
Geofences let you set virtual boundaries around locations like job sites, customer addresses, or your office. When a vehicle enters or exits a geofence, it's automatically logged and you can set up alerts and run reports to see the full history.
Accessing Pulse Fleet Tracking
From the left-side navigation in FieldPulse, select Fleet Tracking under Management. This opens your Pulse Fleet Tracking account.
