What you’ll do

Add every yard, plant, and jobsite you dispatch to or from. Each site needs lat/long and a geofence (a virtual boundary that tells Tread when a truck arrives or leaves).

​
Before you start

  • A list of sites with name, address, and (if known) lat/long.
  • Decide whether each site uses a circle or polygon geofence — circles are the default, polygons give tighter accuracy at large or oddly-shaped sites.
  • Polygon shape data exported from another system (KML, GeoJSON) if you want to import existing boundaries.

​
Walkthrough

1

Open Settings → Sites

Click Add Site.
2

Enter the address

Type the address. Tread reverse-geocodes it to lat/long and drops a pin on the map. Adjust the pin if the geocoded result is off.
3

Draw or accept the geofence

Tread defaults to a circle around the pin. Resize it if needed. To use a polygon, click Polygon and trace the boundary, or import a KML/GeoJSON file from your records.
4

Tag the site type

Mark as Plant, Yard, or Jobsite. The type drives reporting and dispatch defaults.
5

Save and repeat

Long-running plants get added once. Jobsites can be added on the fly during dispatch — but pre-loading the recurring ones speeds up order entry.

​
Verify

Settings → Sites shows every location with a geofence drawn. Open one — the map shows the pin inside the boundary.

​
Common mistakes

Switching a site’s geofence type after go-live. Changing from circle to polygon (or vice versa) reshapes how Tread interprets historical truck arrivals and exits. Past tickets recompute against the new shape, which can shift on-site times and break reporting. Pick the right type at setup. See Sites & Geofences.
