How it works

STEP 01

Draw zones

Define circles and polygons in the map editor or via the API

STEP 02

Sync zones

Mobile SDKs and embedded devices pull zone definitions; server clients reference them by id

STEP 03

Evaluate anywhere

On-device in the mobile and embedded SDKs, or server-side over the REST API for IoT and no-code clients.

STEP 04

Monitor performance

Real-time analytics on detection speed, battery, accuracy

Privacy by default

Positions stay on the device or in your account. Zone events are the only thing we deliver — never raw coordinates, never identifiers.

Any geometry

Circles and polygons. No shape limits, no zone caps. Model the boundaries you actually need — not what native APIs allow.

Resource-efficient

Adapts to context — battery-smart GPS on phones, lightweight on constrained devices. No always-on drain.

Open source core

MIT licensed. Inspect the engine, audit the algorithms, no vendor lock-in. Build with confidence.

From phones to field sensors

Polyfence works anywhere location matters — mobile apps, embedded hardware, and everything in between.

Fleet & logistics

Know when vehicles enter or leave depots, customer sites, and restricted areas — without streaming GPS to the cloud.

Livestock & agriculture

Monitor grazing boundaries on solar-powered trackers. Lightweight API checks mean you can optimize for battery life — poll on schedule, not continuously.

Asset tracking

Detect when equipment leaves a job site or enters a geo-restricted zone.

Security perimeters

Trigger alerts when devices breach physical boundaries. No cloud dependency, no latency.
