Overview
The Location & Rules section of ICOS TMS is where you configure location-based logic that drives how the system behaves.
These features allow you to define:
Where activity occurs
How locations are interpreted
What rules apply when vehicles, bookings, or events interact with those locationsWhat you can manage here
Click any of the following links to skip ahead:
Customer Places
Define known customer locations such as depots, yards, warehouses, and delivery sites.
Use Customer Places to:
Standardise locations across the system
Auto-populate coordinates
Support downstream rules and charging logic
Geofences
Create virtual boundaries on the map to represent operational areas.
Geofences can be used to:
Define yards, depots, terminals, or zones
Support location-based charging
Enable rule evaluation when vehicles enter or exit an area
See: Geofences
Charge Rules
Configure logic that determines how and when charges are applied based on location, events, or conditions.
Examples include:
Charges triggered when entering a geofence
Time-based or location-based fees
See: Charge Rules
Location Charges
Manage pricing associated with specific locations or zones.
Location Charges allow you to:
Apply consistent fees by area
Reuse charges across customers or routes
See: Location Charges
Compliance
Define rules and checks that ensure operations comply with regulatory or internal requirements.
This may include:
Location-based restrictions
Mandatory rules applied within defined zones
See: Compliance
How these features work together
Customer Places provide known locations →
Geofences define operational boundaries →
Rules and charges apply logic when those boundaries are used.
This layered approach keeps location logic consistent and reusable across ICOS TMS.
Getting started
If you’re new to configuring location-based features:
Start with Customer Places
Create Geofences where needed
Apply Rules or Charges based on those locations
