Draw a zone around a port, a depot or a border crossing. When a vehicle enters or leaves it, you get an alert with the vehicle, the zone and the time.

A geofence is a shape on the map with a rule attached. We check each position a vehicle reports against the zones you drew, and raise an alert when a vehicle crosses a line.
From the platform: a geofence around the port of Zeebrugge. Plates, VINs and addresses blurred.
Outline a zone point by point on the map: a depot, a car park, a customer site, a whole port. The shape follows the ground you draw.
An alert when a vehicle enters a zone or leaves it, naming the vehicle, the zone and the time. Rules are set under Automations → Geofences; every alert raised is kept under Alerts.
Each zone on the map carries a count of the vehicles inside it, so a yard check starts from the screen rather than from a walk round the car park.
A stolen car often leaves by ship or across a border. A zone around the port or the crossing raises the alert when a vehicle that is still reporting drives in, while it is still on the quay.
A zone around each depot or site tells you when a vehicle arrives or leaves, without a driver having to call in.
Zones are set per fleet, so each branch or customer account works with its own zones and its own alerts.
On the 30+ brands connected at the factory, position comes from the car's built-in telematics: no box to fit, and none for a thief to pull out. Other vehicles report through a Linkbycar box, into the same zones and the same alerts.
A zone fires on the first position the vehicle reports across its line. How soon that is depends on how often the vehicle reports, which varies by brand and by whether it is moving.
As precise as the position the vehicle reports: sub-50-metre accuracy in most conditions, from the vehicle's own telematics. Around a port, a depot or a crossing, draw the zone with a margin beyond the ground you care about.
The alert is raised on the first position the vehicle reports inside the zone, or outside it for an exit. How soon that comes depends on how often the vehicle reports, which varies by manufacturer and by whether the vehicle is moving, so we do not quote a single figure.
Every vehicle connected to Linkbycar: factory-connected brands through their manufacturer's own connectivity, and other vehicles through a Linkbycar box. You can check your fleet brand by brand on the Connect your fleet page.
Out-of-hours geolocation is gated by explicit driver consent, in line with CNIL guidance. Consent status is exposed per vehicle, and data absent by refusal is flagged, never inferred.
A zone is a shape you draw, from a single car park to a port area the size of Zeebrugge's. For a border, the useful setup is a zone over each crossing and the roads that lead to it, so the alert also tells you where the vehicle is heading.
Book a demo
Send us your plates or VINs. We come back vehicle by vehicle: which ones are compatible with manufacturer data, which ones need a box, and what data each one returns.
Thirty minutes with our team
We show you the platform live and answer your questions. Send us your plates and we tell you what each vehicle can report.
Nothing to fit on compatible vehicles
Compatible vehicles are activated remotely.* No workshop visit, no fitting, and no vehicle off the road.
No commitment
You keep the vehicle-by-vehicle answer whether or not you go further with us.
* Activation time depends on the manufacturer and can take up to 48 hours.
We come back to you within 48 hours to set up the demo. Send us your plates or VINs and we tell you what each vehicle can report. If it is urgent, reply to the confirmation email and a person reads it.
