Most fleet businesses use GPS technology today to plan routes and track shipments, but these reasons just scratch the surface. Geofencing, for example, is a feature offered by Vyncs that helps managers keep track of trailers at customer sites, improve security, and automate manual inspections. When combined with other telematics features, the technology becomes even more powerful.

Geofencing leverages GPS to build virtual boundaries around a location. For example, a logistics company may outfit its trailer cabs with Vyncs devices to draw a geozone around its yard. It can alert fleet managers the moment one or more trailers leave the parking zone to prevent theft, automate yard inspections, verify driver timesheets, or set up customer sites and other landmarks.

Telematics solutions often combine geofencing with other GPS-related abilities. Apart from alerting fleet managers when a trailer leaves the parking zone, fleet managers can see where the vehicles are on the road. Capabilities like these are offered by Vyncs, and these are invaluable for route planning, customer service, etc. For trucking firms managing trailer pools, this is a tool of inestimable value.

The Co-Founder of Vyncs, Dr. Hillol Kargupta pointed out, “Cargo pilferage increased more than double between April 2019 and April 2020. Even the average value for every theft increased from $151,000 in 2019 to $230,000 in 2020. As shipment volumes are set to increase with time, these trends will inevitably accelerate in the future. Fleets should take action to protect their merchandise with GPS fleet monitoring solutions.”

Geozone creation is an easy way to prevent theft. By geofencing trailer cabs and the parking zones, fleet managers can receive alerts immediately when an asset moves out of the area after business hours. Furthermore, managers can contact the police proactively and provide detailed information to recover lost vehicles and the goods they were carrying, including real-time location.

Vyncs has been the first choice of innumerable logistics companies for years, particularly the ones utilizing geozones. Vyncs is a leading provider of connected vehicle management solutions with experience in analyzing vehicle sensor data and blending the same with contextual data to enhance the mobility experience. The motto of the brand is to strive and succeed in its efforts to create affordable telematics solutions for fleets and consumers.
