What is Geofencing?

Geofencing is a location-based service that defines a virtual boundary around a geographical area. It uses the GPS (Global Positioning System) or RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) to trigger an action when an authorized device enters or exits a predefined location.

Geofencing does not demand to build anything physical in the real-world as everything happens digitally. Geofencing has become a standard practice for many enterprises.

Businesses are finding creative ways to use these virtual boundaries by offering coupons, notifications, engagement features, and security alerts.

But when used as kids’ location tracker, geofencing proves to be nothing less than a miracle for parents.
