How to Set Up Geo-Zones with Bouncie

Bouncie is a connected car device that enhances your driving experience with smart technology and real-time location tracking. One of the ways that Bouncie can help you stay connected is with Geo-Zones. This technology is valuable for a wide range of users, including parents, individuals, and fleet managers. The Bouncie app makes setting up Geo-Zones quick and easy, adding value at every turn by enhancing security, efficiency, and safety.

What are Geo-Zones?

Geo-Zones are Bouncie’s solution for vehicle tracking using geofencing technology, providing location-based alerts and enhanced safety. Geofencing uses a GPS to create a virtual boundary or "fence" around a specific geographic area. When a device, such as Bouncie, enters or exits this defined area, a notification can be triggered if you have Geo-Zones enabled for the vehicle.

Setting up Geo-Zones can be helpful in a lot of different ways.

• Parents — Set up Geo-Zones to alert you when teen drivers enter or exit a specific area, such as their school, home, or their favorite places to hang out.
• Family Members — Set up Geo-Zones around areas that could serve as reminders, such as setting a zone around work or even the local grocery store as a reminder to pick up needed items.
• Fleet Managers — Set up Geo-Zones around the company lot to see when vehicles have left the property. Set up Geo-Zones at locations where workers are supposed to be, such as a job site, and have an alert sent when they arrive or depart.

Using Geo-Zones for Family Safety

Geo-Zones are a valuable tool for parents looking to monitor their teen drivers and promote safe driving habits. By setting virtual boundaries around key locations, such as a school, a friend’s house, or curfew zones, parents can receive real-time alerts when their teen’s vehicle enters or leaves these areas. This level of peace of mind provides parents with insight into where the car is at any moment and ensures their teen stays on course within safe boundaries.

Using Geo-Zones for Fleets

Fleet Managers who use Geo-Zones know how powerful they can be. Setting up Geo-Zones around job sites ensures workers are where they are supposed to be when they are supposed to be there. Delivery zones can be created to track the timely delivery or delay of goods. Warehouses can track when trucks arrive on-site to load or unload goods, which makes managing traffic and delivery bays more efficient. Managers can also receive alerts if a vehicle is being used outside of work hours or authorized times. Find out how Bouncie fits into fleet management strategies.
