This episode of FreightWaves Check Call discusses Radar, a geofencing and location services tool specifically designed for the transportation and logistics industry.

The video explores the limitations of traditional geofencing and how Radar addresses them by offering:

Micro-fencing: Provides precise location data down to specific areas like loading docks.

Improved data accuracy: Reduces false positives by differentiating between driving through a zone and actually being on-site.

Enhanced communication: Enables better communication between carriers and shippers regarding arrival times and loading status.

Key points:

Traditional geofencing can be inaccurate due to factors like driving through a zone without stopping.

Manually drawing precise geofences for all locations is time-consuming and impractical.

Radar integrates geofencing with route optimization and real-time tracking.

Micro-fencing helps eliminate frustration for carriers waiting at facilities.

Improved visibility allows for better communication and accountability.
