Location Services in Trio offer IT administrators a powerful and intuitive way to track, monitor, and manage the physical whereabouts of managed devices. Whether you’re managing laptops, smartphones, or tablets across multiple locations, this feature enhances both security oversight and operational awareness.
From real-time GPS tracking to intelligent geofencing, Trio ensures that your device fleet is not only visible—but also securely contained within approved zones.
What You See in the Location Panel
The Location and Geofencing section includes three key tabs:
Last Location – Displays a real-time map with the most recently reported position of each device
Geofences – Allows admins to create virtual boundaries and enforce location-based rules
Geofence History – Tracks check-ins and check-outs from assigned geofenced zones
At a glance, IT teams can see:
Device name and OS version
Assignment status (user and group)
Real-time location (via Google Maps)
Status (e.g., Without Fence, No Location Data)
Last activity timestamp
Devices appear with color-coded indicators (e.g., green for active, red for location issues), making it easy to assess status instantly.
Key Capabilities
Real-Time Location Tracking
Trio collects and displays the most recent GPS data of each device, supporting:
Lost or stolen device recovery
Asset auditing
Field device verification for remote teams
Geofencing
Create geofences around office locations, warehouses, or job sites. When a device:
Checks in: Trio logs the event
Checks out: It can trigger a notification or policy enforcement
This is ideal for compliance-sensitive sectors like finance, healthcare, and logistics.
Location Logs & History
Track historical location activity to analyze movement patterns or verify if devices left authorized zones.
