Using Geofencing to Improve Carrier Visibility
Listen now
Description
This episode of FreightWaves Check Call discusses Radar, a geofencing and location services tool specifically designed for the transportation and logistics industry. The video explores the limitations of traditional geofencing and how Radar addresses them by offering: Micro-fencing: Provides precise location data down to specific areas like loading docks. Improved data accuracy: Reduces false positives by differentiating between driving through a zone and actually being on-site. Enhanced communication: Enables better communication between carriers and shippers regarding arrival times and loading status. Key points: Traditional geofencing can be inaccurate due to factors like driving through a zone without stopping. Manually drawing precise geofences for all locations is time-consuming and impractical. Radar integrates geofencing with route optimization and real-time tracking. Micro-fencing helps eliminate frustration for carriers waiting at facilities. Improved visibility allows for better communication and accountability.
