A monitoring system for remote monitoring of an activity at one or more facilities by a vehicle. The system comprises a monitoring unit including program memory and a processor, the program memory accessible by the processor to execute instructions stored therein and a communications interface for communicating with a remote device across a communications network, the remote device being co-located with the vehicle. The processor is configured to execute instructions stored in the memory to receive at the communications interface data from the remote device, the data comprising a vehicle identifier and a vehicle location indicator and access a zone data record, the zone data record comprising a plurality of zones, each zone having a virtual geographical boundary associated with a physical geographical area including at least one facility. The processor is further configured to execute instructions stored in the memory to determine whether the vehicle is located within a zone of the zone data record for a preconfigured period of time based on the vehicle location indicator and the zone data record and responsive to determining that the vehicle is located within the zone for the preconfigured period, determine performance of the activity at the one or more facilities by the vehicle.
