A method of wirelessly interacting with a materials handling vehicle to implement a position dependent operation of the materials handling vehicle, the method comprising: receiving, at a materials handling vehicle interface, an operator identification of an operator attempting to log onto the materials handling vehicle; verifying, based on the received operator identification, that the operator logging onto the materials handling vehicle is authorized to operate the materials handling vehicle; communicating the operator identification across a wireless computing environment to a corresponding applications server computer via a transceiver on the materials handling vehicle; receiving by the processor on the materials handling vehicle, from the applications server computer, information regarding a geofence, where the geofence is selectively defined based upon the operator identification and/or a materials handling vehicle identification; wirelessly communicating, by the processor, obtained position related information between the applications server computer and the materials handling vehicle via the transceiver such that the position of the materials handling vehicle is determined; receiving, by the processor, a command from the applications server computer based upon the determined position of the materials handling vehicle; determining a position of the materials handling vehicle relative to the geofence; identifying a current operating characteristic of the materials handling vehicle; and communicating information across a vehicle network bus by the processor on the materials handling vehicle, to at least one component of the materials handling vehicle, to perform a predetermined action in response to the command received from the applications server computer and the information regarding the geofence and based upon the identified current operating characteristic of the materials handling vehicle. receiving, at a materials handling vehicle interface, an operator identification of an operator attempting to log onto the materials handling vehicle; verifying, based on the received operator identification, that the operator logging onto the materials handling vehicle is authorized to operate the materials handling vehicle; communicating the operator identification across a wireless computing environment to a corresponding applications server computer via a transceiver on the materials handling vehicle; receiving by the processor on the materials handling vehicle, from the applications server computer, information regarding a geofence, where the geofence is selectively defined based upon the operator identification and/or a materials handling vehicle identification; wirelessly communicating, by the processor, obtained position related information between the applications server computer and the materials handling vehicle via the transceiver such that the position of the materials handling vehicle is determined; receiving, by the processor, a command from the applications server computer based upon the determined position of the materials handling vehicle; determining a position of the materials handling vehicle relative to the geofence; identifying a current operating characteristic of the materials handling vehicle; and communicating information across a vehicle network bus by the processor on the materials handling vehicle, to at least one component of the materials handling vehicle, to perform a predetermined action in response to the command received from the applications server computer and the information regarding the geofence and based upon the identified current operating characteristic of the materials handling vehicle.
