Geofencing API for Logistics & Delivery Validation | Intugine

Standard GPS tells you a truck was near a location. Intugine's Geofencing API tells you when it entered, when it exited, exactly how long it stayed — and whether the dwell time pattern matches a real loading or unloading event.

That distinction is the difference between presence and proof.

What Is a Geofencing API in Logistics?

A geofencing API allows platforms and systems to define virtual boundaries around physical locations — warehouses, depots, dealer outlets, manufacturing plants, construction sites — and receive automated alerts when a tracked vehicle enters or exits those boundaries.

In logistics, geofencing is used for:

Loading confirmation — alert when a truck enters a plant loading bay and exits with cargo

Delivery validation — verify the truck actually entered the ship-to-party location, not just drove past

Detention tracking — measure exact dwell time at origin and destination against SLA benchmarks

Unauthorized stop detection — flag vehicles halting at unexpected locations between origin and destination

Intugine's Geofencing API goes beyond basic entry/exit events. It layers activity sensing and location intelligence on top of raw geofence triggers — so you know not just that the truck stopped, but what it was doing when it stopped.

How the Intugine Geofencing API Works

Input: Latitude/longitude coordinates or a named address. Configurable radius (in metres). Vehicle identifier (truck number or SIM).

Processing:

Vehicle position is continuously monitored against defined geofence boundaries

Entry event triggered the moment the vehicle crosses the boundary

Dwell time accumulates while vehicle remains within the zone

Exit event triggered on boundary departure, with full dwell record

Activity sensing layer cross-references halt behavior during dwell period

Output per event:

Entry timestamp

Exit timestamp

Total dwell duration (minutes)

Activity classification during dwell (idle, loading, unloading, fuelling)

Alert status (within SLA / SLA breach)

Key Use Cases

Delivery Validation at Dealer Outlets

Set geofences for every Ship-to-Party location in a distribution network. When a cement or FMCG truck reaches the dealer, the Geofencing API confirms physical presence, dwell time consistent with offloading, and activity signature — replacing driver self-reporting entirely.

Loading Bay Monitoring at Plants

Define geofences at plant loading bays. Get automated confirmation when a truck completes loading and exits — timestamped, with dwell duration. Automates plant gate management and eliminates manual POL recording.

Unauthorized Stop Flagging

Set route corridors with permitted stops (fuel stations, weigh bridges). Any halt outside permitted zones triggers an alert — critical for detecting back-unloading, unauthorized handovers, or route deviation.

Detention SLA Management

Measure exact detention time at origin and destination against contracted detention windows. Automated alerts when detention SLA is breached — enables accurate detention billing without manual calculation.
