What is Geofencing? Creating Virtual Boundaries for Smarter Operations
What is geofencing? From Deonde’s perspective, it refers to a feature that businesses can implement within their delivery app solution to create virtual boundaries around specific geographic areas. When a driver or delivery vehicle enters or exits these boundaries, it can trigger pre-defined actions or notifications.

Geofencing capabilities within a Deonde-powered solution can be used to:
- Automatically trigger notifications when a driver enters or exits a delivery zone or customer location.
- Automate check-in or check-out processes for drivers at specific locations.
- Provide customers with real-time alerts when their delivery vehicle is approaching.
- Potentially track driver arrival and departure times at designated points.
