Global Settings: Geofencing - 365 Management

The Geofencing screen is where you can configure distance tolerances for different driver commands and statuses.

Geofencing can help you assign drivers to the correct zones based on their GPS location and prevent them from executing commands such as Clear, No Job, Pickup, Via, and Ringback when they are too far away.


To access this screen:

  1. Click on Geofencing from the Drivers/Vehicles > Driver Companion > Global Settings dropdown menu.

Geofencing Settings

The following settings can be configured:

GPS Tolerances


  • GPS Type Tolerance Mode: Set if the system checks for the centre point or closest point.
    • By Centre Point: Check GPS tolerance from the zone centre point.
    • By Closest Points: Check GPS tolerance from the closest point to a driver.
  • Clear Out Of Range Tolerance (m): If a driver is outside of the set radius they will not be able to ‘clear’ from a job.
  • No Job Out Of Range Tolerance (m): If a driver is outside of the set radius they will not be able to use the ‘no job’ command.
  • Driver Companion Respects Pickup Tolerance: If enabled, drivers outside of the pickup tolerance will not be able to start their meter. 
  • Driver Companion Respects Ringback Tolerance: If enabled, drivers outside of the ringback tolerance will not be able to use the ‘ringback‘ button. 
  • Allow Clear In Same Zone: If enabled, drivers can ‘clear’ anywhere within the destination zone, regardless of the tolerances. 
  • Picked Up Out Of Range Tolerance (m): If a driver is outside of the set radius they will not be able to use the ‘picked up’ command.
  • Via Out Of Range Tolerance (m): If a driver is outside of the set radius they will not be able to use the ‘picked up’ command at the Via stage.
  • Ringback Out Of Range Tolerance (m): If a driver is outside of the set radius they will not be able to use the ‘ringback’ command.

Note: If your zones vary a lot in size, then it is advised that you use the 'By Centre Point' option for the 'GPS Type Tolerance Mode'. This is so the system takes into consideration the centre point of the zone instead of the closest point.

Auto Plot Modes

Auto Plot Modes automatically updates a driver's zone based on their current GPS location and status (clear or busy). You can use this feature to improve job allocation, increase visibility of nearby jobs for drivers, and allow drivers to bid for work in their current and backup zones.

For example, a driver travelling through different zones while completing a job can receive job offers and bidding opportunities closer to their current location. Auto Plot Modes helps ensure drivers are assigned to the most appropriate zones based on their position, improving both job dispatching and driver bidding opportunities.


  • When Clear: Enable this option to automatically plot drivers into the zone that matches their current location when they are clear (not busy on a job). Using this setting can help optimise job allocation by allowing drivers to receive job offers and bidding opportunities near their current location.
  • When Busy: Enable this option to automatically plot drivers into the zone that matches their current location, even while they are busy on a job. Using this setting allows you to view a driver's current zone while they have a passenger and helps make nearby jobs visible for follow on jobs.
If drivers are not being plotted into zones correctly, ensure their GPS data is accurate. You should also verify that your zones are configured correctly using the Zone Editor in Management.
