GeoNest turns a shopper entering, dwelling in, or leaving your store into an email, SMS, or push moment — without asking them to open an app.
Use cases
Enter, dwell, and exit mean something specific here — this is what that looks like in practice.
Enter
The moment a shopper's device crosses into the store fence, fire a first-visit or loyalty offer — no scanning, no app open required.
Dwell
A longer-than-usual dwell near a specific department is a signal — follow up with a relevant offer while they're still deciding.
Exit
Catch someone who browsed but didn't buy, and send a nudge before they're back in the car — cooldown keeps it to one message per visit.
Why teams choose GeoNest
Circles and polygons handed to the phone's own geofencing APIs — no continuous background polling.
Register, fetch geofences, report an event — that's the entire integration surface.
Every fence, device, and campaign is scoped to a single app — nothing crosses over.
Dispatches through your existing email and SMS infrastructure, plus Firebase Cloud Messaging for push — nothing new to wire up.
More industries
Not quite your world? See how the same enter/dwell/exit fence plays out for other industries.
Fire a lunch-rush offer the moment someone dwells near the counter, or a loyalty push as they're walking out.
Send a "your prescription is ready" text when a dwell in the waiting area completes, or a refill reminder on exit.
Recognize a check-in streak on entry, and fire a win-back offer the moment a member's visit pattern shows they've stopped coming.
Follow up automatically after a branch visit dwell, or route someone to a nearby ATM the moment they exit a closed location.
Detect a dwell at an open house or listing and follow up with the listing details before the visitor is back in their car.
Trigger a service reminder for anyone dwelling on the lot, or a test-drive follow-up the moment they exit.
Draw the fence rule once, and every location in the network runs the identical enter/dwell/exit logic — scoped to its own app.
Questions
Yes — draw the store footprint as a polygon and GeoNest computes the bounding wake-up circle automatically, so the mall's shared space doesn't trigger your fence by mistake.
Native OS geofencing (the enter/dwell/exit detection) needs a native app. A browser-only fallback for web visitors is on our roadmap but not shipped yet.
Yes — cooldown is a separate setting from dwell time, so you control the minimum gap between repeat triggers for the same device.
Yes — chain an immediate message with one or more delayed follow-ups on the same trigger, each logged separately against the event that caused it.
