Proof of Visit

API-Ready GPS-verified visit detection. Structured visit records (arrival/departure, dwell, coordinates, trip ID) via REST API with optional webhook push — for field service and delivery verification.

Proof of Visit

API-Ready GPS-verified visit detection for field employees and delivery workflows. The Telematics SDK detects arrival, dwell, and departure at registered locations of interest; every visit is delivered as a structured record via REST API with optional webhook push.

Overview

Proof of Visit confirms that a driver or field employee was physically present at an assigned location — without manual check-ins, QR codes, or separate geofence apps. Visit detection runs passively through the SDK's continuous location tracking while trips are active.

Common use cases:

  • Field service — verify technician arrival, dwell time on site, and SLA compliance
  • Delivery — confirm stop completion and time at the delivery location
  • Sales territories — objective coverage data for retail and client visits
  • Inspections & audits — GPS-backed evidence that a site visit occurred

See the Proof of Visit product page for workflow examples and industry scenarios.

How it works

  1. Register locations of interest — define GPS coordinates (stores, client sites, job locations, facilities) through the API, each with a configurable radius
  2. SDK detects visits — while tracking is active, the SDK automatically detects arrival, dwell time, and departure at every registered location
  3. Receive structured records — each visit is delivered through the REST API as a structured record, with optional webhook push to your backend

No manual action is required from the driver beyond normal SDK tracking.

Visit record fields

Each detected visit includes:

FieldDescription
Location IDIdentifier for the registered location of interest
Arrival timestampWhen the driver entered the location radius
Departure timestampWhen the driver left the location radius
Dwell durationTime spent at the location between arrival and departure
GPS coordinatesVerified position at the visit location
Trip IDAssociated trip the visit occurred within

Use visit records to match against assigned routes, compare actual vs. planned schedules, and flag missed or shortened stops in your CRM, ERP, or field-management platform.

API delivery

Proof of Visit is API-Ready:

  • REST API — query and retrieve structured visit records programmatically
  • Optional webhook push — receive visit events on your infrastructure as they occur

To receive webhook callbacks, configure Backend notifications (AWS SNS, Azure Service Bus, or Azure Event Grid) at portal.damoov.com/callbacks. The same notification infrastructure used for trips and crash events applies to visit delivery.
