Businesses across different industries often need the technology of Geofencing in their daily operations.

Why? Geofencing puts visibility into your team’s whereabouts and locations through a location-based technology that uses GPS, Wi-Fi, cellular data, or RFID to create a virtual boundary around a physical geographic location.

When a worker’s personal device crosses this invisible perimeter, smart attendance tracking solutions like Fareclock are built to automatically log the worker’s real-time location and tie it to his or her attendance records. This brings a whole new approach into how managers and supervisors can view where their team is instead of manually checking on them one by one through messaging channels or other manual methods.
