Power tool geofence tracking and dashboard

A mobile communications device comprising:

• an electronic display;
• a transceiver configured to communicate with a remote server;
• and
• an electronic processor communicatively coupled to the transceiver, the electronic processor configured to:
• receive, via the electronic display, an initial location selection,
• generate a default geofence boundary around the initial location selection,
• display the default geofence boundary on the electronic display,
• receive, via the electronic display, geofence boundary input modifications to adjust the default geofence boundary and produce a modified geofence boundary,
• transmit the modified geofence boundary to the remote server,
• determine a number of power tool devices in an inventory of power tool devices that are located outside of the modified geofence boundary, and
• provide an indication on the electronic display of the number of power tool devices in the inventory of power tool devices that are located outside of the modified geofence boundary.

A method of operating a mobile communications device, the method comprising:

• receiving, via an electronic display, an initial location selection;
• generating a default geofence boundary around the initial location selection;
• displaying the default geofence boundary on the electronic display;
• receiving, via the electronic display, geofence boundary input modifications to adjust the default geofence boundary and produce a modified geofence boundary;
• transmitting, using a transceiver, the modified geofence boundary to a remote server;
• determining a number of power tool devices in an inventory of power tool devices that are located outside of the modified geofence boundary;
• and
• providing an indication on the electronic display of the number of power tool devices in the inventory of power tool devices that are located outside of the modified geofence boundary.

A system for generating a geofence for an inventory of power tool devices, the system comprising:

• a remote server;
• and
• a mobile communications device including:
• an electronic display,
• a transceiver configured to communicate with the remote server, and
• an electronic processor communicatively coupled to the transceiver, the electronic processor configured to:
• receive, via the electronic display, an initial location selection,
• generate a default geofence boundary around the initial location selection,
• display the default geofence boundary on the electronic display,
• receive, via the electronic display, geofence boundary input modifications to adjust the default geofence boundary and produce a modified geofence boundary,
• transmit the modified geofence boundary to the remote server,
• determine a number of power tool devices in an inventory of power tool devices that are located outside of the modified geofence boundary, and
• provide an indication on the electronic display of the number of power tool devices in the inventory of power tool devices that are located outside of the modified geofence boundary.
