Geolocation and zone alerts
Know who's in the right place.
See the latest available position of connected devices and create virtual zones around sites, routes or areas that need closer attention.

THE PRACTICAL USE
Put the information where someone can use it.
A map is useful when it helps someone make a decision. Surge can connect device location to named sites and geofenced areas, then flag agreed events for a supervisor or controller to review.
Live location view
See the latest available position reported by supported field or vehicle devices.
Geofenced areas
Define virtual boundaries around customer sites, depots, work areas or other operational zones.
Zone entry and exit
Notify an agreed role when a connected device enters or leaves a configured area.
Location history
Review available movement history when investigating a route, patrol or incident.
Location accuracy and reporting frequency vary with the device, satellite view, buildings, network coverage, power settings and software configuration.
HOW IT FITS
A simple field-to-control workflow.
The detail is configured around your sites, people and escalation process.
Assign the devices
Connect the relevant handhelds or vehicle terminals to users, teams or assets.
Handle the event
Route zone alerts to someone who can check the context and act if needed.
CONNECTED CAPABILITIES
Build the wider workflow.
Use related hardware and software where it adds a clear operational purpose.
COMMON QUESTIONS
What to confirm before rollout.
The final behaviour depends on the chosen device, application, network and operating procedure.
What is a geofence?
It is a virtual boundary drawn around a real place. A connected device can create an event when it enters or leaves that boundary.
Is GPS always exact?
No. Accuracy varies by hardware and environment, especially near buildings or where satellite visibility and network coverage are limited.
