Geofencing is a location-based technology that uses GPS, Wi-Fi, or cellular data to create a virtual boundary or perimeter around a real-world geographic area. This virtual boundary can be defined by a set of geographic coordinates and a radius, creating a fence around the specified area. These actions can be customized based on specific criteria, such as sending alerts to users, updating data records, or triggering automated processes.
Quixy's Geo-Fencing operates on two primary modes: Static and Dynamic.
Static geofencing in Quixy refers to the use of a fixed, predefined geographic area as a trigger for actions or notifications within a single application. This means that a specific location is defined as a geofence, and when a user or device enters or exits this predefined area, it can initiate predefined actions or notifications within the Quixy application.
EXAMPLE
Imagine a scenario where an office is located in Jubilee Hills, Hyderabad. With Static Geo-Fencing, administrators can define a virtual boundary around the office location, ensuring that employees can only register their attendance when they are within that specified area. When an employee is at the specified location, the system directly reads their location and allows them to proceed with further actions, such as adding their attendance. This feature adds an extra layer of security and accuracy to the attendance system, as it prevents employees from registering their attendance from locations outside the designated area. As a result, businesses can ensure that attendance records reflect the true presence of employees in the workplace, enhancing overall operational efficiency.
Dynamic geofencing in Quixy involves the use of the geofencing concept to define multiple locations, each with its own specific boundaries, within a single application. This means that instead of having a single fixed geofence, dynamic geofencing allows for the creation of multiple geofences, each tailored to a different locations with the respective boundaries as per users' requirements.
EXAMPLE
Imagine a scenario where a field agent is responsible for updating production and construction stages at various government construction sites throughout a city like Hyderabad. With Quixy's Dynamic Geo-Fencing, a manager of the field agent can effortlessly create virtual boundaries for each site, ensuring that data updates are only allowed when the field agent is physically present within the predefined perimeter. As an example, suppose a field agent needs to update the status of a construction site located in Jubilee Hills. With Quixy's Dynamic Geo-Fencing, the manager of the agent can set a customized radius around the site at multiple locations. When the agent enters this designated area and selects the site for inspection, they can access the relevant forms to input the necessary data. However, access is granted only if the agent is physically present within the specified location.
However, if they are outside this perimeter, access is restricted, ensuring that data is captured accurately based on the agent's physical location. This level of precision not only enhances data accuracy but also streamlines field operations by providing a seamless and secure method for updating critical information from the field.
