Turn location events into useful actions for your business. Virstack builds custom geofencing solutions that help you coordinate field operations, recognize arrivals and departures, and deliver relevant notifications. Connect location events with your applications so your teams can respond with less manual coordination.
For agencies and infrastructure operators, we extend geofencing to wide-area monitoring, combining satellite, sensor and drone data to detect activity in the areas that matter.
Geofencing creates a virtual boundary around a physical location, such as a store, job site, warehouse, or service area. When a participating device enters or leaves that area, the application can trigger an action, such as sending a notification or updating a workflow. Some solutions can also respond when a device remains in an area for a defined period.
A solution uses location data from an authorized mobile application, tracking device, or connected platform. Virstack helps you define the locations, events, and actions that are useful for your operation.
Geofencing can also monitor the area itself rather than individual devices. By combining satellite imagery, drone surveys, ground sensors and vessel or vehicle tracking data, a solution can flag changes inside a boundary, such as land clearing in a protected forest or unauthorized activity near critical infrastructure.
- Custom Geofence Configuration: Define locations and boundaries that match your operating areas. Configure entry, exit, and dwell rules where supported by the selected technology.
- Mobile App Integration: Add geofencing capabilities to a new or existing mobile app. We design location permission flows and account for platform behavior, battery use, and background activity.
- Notifications and Workflow Automation: Use location events to notify teams, prompt a check-in, or update a job record. Configure repeat-alert controls and confirmation steps to suit the workflow.
- Fleet and Asset Integrations: Use location feeds from compatible vehicle or asset tracking platforms to recognize arrivals, departures, and movements beyond designated areas.
- Satellite and Earth Observation Monitoring: Use satellite imagery and AI-based change detection to flag activity inside protected or restricted areas, such as deforestation, mining or construction.
- Maritime and Wide-Area Monitoring: Combine vessel tracking and other location feeds to monitor coastal zones, ports and restricted waters.
- IoT and Field Hardware: Custom GPS trackers, ground sensors and IoT devices, engineered to integrate seamlessly with our software platforms.
- Administration and Reporting: Give authorized users tools to manage locations, review recorded events, and understand activity across sites. Reporting can include visit frequency and recorded time within a boundary.
- Location Data Controls: Build user permissions, access controls, and retention settings into the solution. We help define when location data is needed and which users should be able to view it. Learn about our Cybersecurity services.
- Built Around Your Operations: We begin with the business event you want to recognize and what should happen next, so location features serve a clear purpose.
- Connected to Your Existing Systems: We design integrations with your job management, CRM, dispatch, or reporting tools using the interfaces available.
- Tested in Operating Conditions: We validate the solution on target devices and at representative locations, then tune boundaries and alerts based on observed behavior.
- Designed for Remote Locations: We account for limited connectivity, power constraints and harsh field conditions, with devices and software that store and forward data when a connection is unavailable.
- Field Service and Construction: Prompt technicians or crews to confirm arrival at a job site and notify dispatch when a visit begins or ends.
- Logistics and Deliveries: Recognize arrivals at warehouses or delivery locations and help teams prepare for the next operational step.
- Retail and Hospitality: Offer relevant reminders, pickup prompts, or welcome messages to participating app users who have enabled the required permissions.
- Equipment and Site Operations: Use compatible tracking devices to flag movements outside designated operating areas and support follow-up by your team.
- Environmental Protection: Monitor protected forests, water bodies and land for illegal mining, clearing or degradation, with alerts routed to enforcement teams.
- Flood and Disaster Response: Define at-risk zones and combine sensor and weather data to support early warning and response coordination.
- Critical Infrastructure: Monitor perimeters around pipelines, power lines and facilities, and alert teams to unauthorized activity.
- Requirements and Feasibility: We define use cases, operating locations, devices, data sources, and the accuracy and timing your workflow requires.
- Solution and Workflow Design: We choose an appropriate location approach and define boundaries, event rules, permissions, and integration needs.
- Development and Integration: We build the required app features, event processing, notifications, and administration tools.
- Field Testing and Refinement: We test permissions, boundary transitions, connectivity changes, and alert behavior in representative conditions.
- Deployment and Support: We support rollout and refine the agreed features as you add locations or adjust your operating requirements.
Tell us where location matters in your workflow and what you want to happen when a device enters or leaves an area. We will help you assess the options and design a geofencing solution that fits your operations.
For mobile app geofencing, users generally need your app installed and the required location permissions enabled. Fleet and asset use cases may instead use dedicated tracking devices or an existing location platform. A geofence does not automatically identify every person who enters an area.
Accuracy and event timing depend on the device, permissions, signal conditions, and operating system. Background events can be delayed. We test appropriate boundary sizes and use confirmation steps where needed; geofencing alone does not prove a person’s exact location or attendance.
Supported mobile platforms can deliver background geofencing events when the required permissions and conditions are met. Operating system restrictions, device settings, and power management affect behavior, so delivery is not guaranteed to be immediate.
Indoor requirements need a separate assessment because satellite positioning may be unreliable inside buildings. Bluetooth beacons or other indoor positioning technology may be more appropriate, depending on the location and precision required.
Yes, as part of a wider monitoring solution. Satellite imagery is captured at intervals rather than continuously, so it is best for detecting changes over days or weeks. For faster alerts, we combine it with sensors, trackers or drone data depending on the area and the response time you need.
We design clear permission requests, limit access to location information, and configure collection and retention around the intended use. Where relevant, we can include user controls and working-hour restrictions. Your organization defines the applicable policies and requirements.
Yes, where suitable interfaces are available. Location events can feed into job records, dispatch tools, customer notifications, and reporting systems. We review your existing software during discovery to confirm the integration approach.
Connect location events and monitoring data to the rest of your systems. Our API wrappers give your applications and partners one secure, governed interface to the data they need.
