We’re thrilled to introduce the new Geofencing module — a powerful addition to CURFOX designed to streamline order creation and enhance delivery accuracy.
This innovative tool allows merchants to define delivery zones using KML files, automating city selection and ensuring every order is assigned to the correct destination from the very beginning.
🌍 Overview #
The Geofencing module adds a “KML File Upload” option within the City settings under Administration → Demarcation → City.
Businesses can now upload KML files that contain predefined geographical polygons representing their delivery zones. Each polygon is automatically matched with the corresponding city in the CURFOX system.
This feature marks the first step towards our broader goal of route optimization—helping merchants save time and reduce errors during order creation.
🔑 Key Features #
🗺️ KML File Upload for Custom Delivery Zones #
Merchants can upload KML files to define their exact service boundaries, perfect for businesses with specific geographic delivery areas.
đź“Ť Automatic City Detection #
When creating new orders, the system automatically detects the destination city based on the customer’s coordinates.
The “Destination City” field is filled automatically by matching the location against predefined polygons—removing the need for manual selection.
âś… Improved Accuracy #
Automated city detection reduces human error and ensures packages are routed correctly from the start.
⚡ Instant Polygon Matching #
After uploading, users can instantly see which polygons are successfully matched with cities in the system and which need adjustments, ensuring quick setup.
🔧 How It Works #
- Navigate to Administration → Demarcation → City.
- Click KML File Upload and select your KML file.
