How do I get notified, when an object entering the fenced zone?

 

Spatial fences allow you to confine objects to a prescribed geographic region. Alerts can be sent upon entering and/or leaving the fenced zone as well as in the event of delayed vehicle or asset. Initially, user should configure Geo-fencing in Smarterping to confine objects to a prescribed geographic region.
