Automotive

Reach shoppers while the test drive is still fresh.

GeoNest detects a lot dwell or a service-bay wait and dispatches the right follow-up — a service reminder, a test-drive nudge, or a wait-time offer.

Why teams choose GeoNest

The hard parts are already solved.

Native OS geofencing

Circles and polygons handed to the phone's own geofencing APIs — no continuous background polling.

Three REST endpoints

Register, fetch geofences, report an event — that's the entire integration surface.

Per-app scoping

Every fence, device, and campaign is scoped to a single app — nothing crosses over.

Reuses your channels

Dispatches through your existing email and SMS infrastructure, plus Firebase Cloud Messaging for push — nothing new to wire up.

Questions

Before you draw the first fence.

Can we tell a service-lot visit apart from a sales-lot visit? +

Yes — draw them as separate fences with independent rules, since a service appointment and a sales browse look very different in duration and intent.

Does this drain a customer's battery during a long test drive? +

No — native OS geofencing is designed for exactly this kind of low-power, real-world monitoring; there's no continuous polling loop involved.

What if the dealership lot is an irregular shape? +

Draw it as a polygon and GeoNest computes the bounding wake-up circle automatically — the precise polygon is what decides containment.

Can we limit how many messages the same customer gets across visits? +

Yes — cooldown is a separate setting from dwell time, so you control the minimum gap between repeat triggers for the same device.
